Abstract:
The Andean region has always fascinated travelers and scholars who are interested in biodiversity. Monumental works have been written on mineral resources, flora and fauna. And efforts are being made to protect the richness of biodiversity, especially in protected natural areas. But the threats from the advance of extractive activities and the consequences of climate change are becoming more and more shocking and are avoiding the achievement of sustainable development. For this reason, the production of knowledge and its spread in quality scientific journals is an urgent need, based on data from reality itself and its resources, in light of the scientific literature produced. In this scenario, the Highlands Research Journal wishes to invite everyone to contribute with their proposals to face the challenge of environmental degradation, the exploitation of natural resources, the effects of climate change and the persistence of socio-environmental conflicts, of which it is essential to take into account social facts, in the search for possible solutions to achieve the balance between man and nature and guide activities towards the conservation, rational and sustainable use of natural resources. History is full of lessons that should not be forgotten, about the wealth of Andean natural resources and the enormous body of knowledge that traveling scientists have left us in recent centuries

Abstract:
Intraoral local anesthetics are widely used for performing painless dental treatments; however, in some cases, they may cause ocular complications such as meiosis, diplopia, nystagmus, ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, and amaurosis. Mostly, the symptoms disappear after several hours; rarely, they have a prolonged character. We describe the case of a 38-year-old young man who had reduced vision in the left eye 5 days after having received intraoral local anesthesia. A diagnosis of cilioretinal artery occlusion with optic disc swelling was made. Ten weeks later, the patient’s visual acuity had increased to 20/20, and the swelling of the optic disc had subsided. Although various possible mechanisms for ocular complications after intraoral local anesthetic administration were suggested in the literature, the exact etiology remains unclear. In this case, inadvertent intravascular injection is believed to be the cause.

Abstract:
Istraživanje je provedeno u 2006. i 2008. kako bi se utvrdio utjecaj visine zalamanja, metode berbe i zrelosti lista u vrijeme berbe na sadržaj ukupnog dušika, bjelančevina, nikotina i reducirajućih šećera. Postupci u pokusu bili su visina zalamanja (17 i 20 listova za berbu), metoda berbe (3, 4 i 7 berbi) i zrelost listova u berbi (nezreli, zreli i prezreli). Primijenjen je split-split plot dizajn s četiri repeticije. Koncentracija istraživanih kemijskih svojstava proučavana je u listovima iz trećeg (6 i 7 list) i sedmog (14 i 15 list) segmenta na stabljici. Visina zalamanja nije utjecala na prosječni sadržaj ukupnog dušika, bjelančevina, nikotina i reducirajućih šećeri. Utjecaj metode berbe na istraživan kemijski sastav bio je mali. Odgađanje berbe uzrokovalo je smanjenja prosječnog sadržaja ukupnog dušika i bjelančevina, povećanja sadržaja nikotina, a sadržaj redukcirajućih šećera povećavao se do optimalne zrelosti ili prezrelosti. Međutim, prisutnost interakcija ukazuje da berba listova duhana u različitim stadijima zrelosti može proizvesti nekonzistentne rezultate ovisno o metodi berbe i visini zalamanja.

Abstract:
U radu su prikazani elementi rasta stabala u linijskim nasadima talijanske johe (Alnus cordata /Loisel./ Duby) u starosti 11 i 16 godina i crne johe (Alnus glutinosa /L./ Gaertn.) u starosti 100 godina u sličnim stanišnim uvjetima na Fruškoj gori (Srbija). Nasadi su osnovani na antropogeno izmijenjenom staništu lužnjaka i graba u potočnoj dolini, na nadmorskoj visini oko 120 m. Talijanska joha predstavlja novounijetu vrstu u Srbiju 2004. godine, a nasad crne johe je u kategoriji najstarijih nasada te vrste na Fruškoj gori. Komparacija elemenata rasta stabala talijanske johe u starosti 16 godina, kada je srednja i dominantna visina stabala iznosila 19,5 i 21,0 m, a srednji i dominantni promjer na prsnoj visini 47,0 i 59,4 cm, i elemenata rasta stabala crne johe u starosti 100 godina na istom lokalitetu, gdje je srednja i dominantna visina stabala iznosila 24,0 i 25,2 m, a srednji i dominantni promjer na prsnoj visini 48,7 i 62,1 cm, ukazala je da su promjeri talijanske johe oko 95%, a visine oko 81% od vrijednosti istih elementa rasta kod crne johe. Izvedeni elementi rasta nasada (na bazi preračuna da se po hektaru nalazi 200 stabala) ukazuju da veličina temeljnice oko 35 m2•ha−1 i volumena nasada oko 300 m3∙ha−1 kod talijanske johe u starosti 16 godina iznose oko 90% od istih veličina kod crne johe u starosti 100 godina. Na osnovu početnih rezultata uzgoja talijanska joha može predstavljati potencijalno primjenjivu vrstu: kao brzorastuća u šumskim plantažama i dekorativna u urbanim područjima.

Abstract:
Agrošumarstvo je višenamjenski, okolišno povoljan i moderan sustav korištenja zemljišta kojim se mogu postići ekonomske, okolišne i socijalne dobrobiti za društvo. Ovom studijom se to potvrđuje na primjeru plantaža topola uz rijeku Dunav u regiji Vidin (Bugarska) u koje je uveden i uzgoj povrtlarskih kultura. Primjenom agrošumarskih metoda proizvodnost plantaža topola je povećana. Prosječni prsni promjeri i prosječne visine stabala u područjima u kojima je primijenjeno agrošumarstvo su veći u odnosu na plantaže bez primjene agrošumarstva iste dobi. Desetgodišnja plantaža uz primjenu agrošumarstva ima prosječni prsni promjer stabala od 8,70 cm i prosječnu visinu od 7,44 m, dok kontrolna ploha ima lošije dendrometrijske značajke (prsni promjer od 7,44 cm i prosječnu visinu od 7,04 cm). Uspostava agrošumarskog sustava također je dovela i do poboljšanja značajki tla. Sadržaj humusa u tlu je veći u plantažama s primijenjenim agrošumarskim sustavom (4,3-2,5%) u odnosu na kontrolnu plohu (2%). S obzirom na sastav organske tvari, kontrolna ploha ima najmanji udio huminskih kiselina (stabilni dio organske tvari) (0,20%) u usporedbi s agrošumarskim sustavom (0,78-0,49%). Ujedno, kontrolna površina ima najveći udio fulvo kiselina (mobilni dio organske tvari (0,62%) u usporedbi s agrošumarskim sustavom (0,46-0,05%) i najveći udio “agresivnih” fulvo kiselina (0,05%). Na temelju rezultata ovoga istraživanja, razložno je preporučiti agrošumarski sustav gospodarenja kao odgovarajući za uzgajanje plantaža topola na fluvisolima regije Vidin.

Abstract:
This study ( N = 780) examines the indirect effects of hardiness—health locus of control (HLOC), health competence (HC), health value (HV)—on past-year healthcare provider visit via attitudes toward seeking and receiving professional healthcare services (ATSRPHS). Across four health domains (dental, general health, mental, vision), ATSRPHS mediated the indirect effect of (1) HV and (2) internal HLoC on past-year healthcare provider visit. ATSRPHS also mediated the indirect effect of external HLoC on past-year visit to healthcare provider visit for general medical, mental, and vision health. ATSRPHS did not mediate any indirect effect of HC on past-year healthcare provider visit. This research contributes to understanding determinants of healthcare service utilization among Black American adults.

Abstract:
Cilj istraživanja je usporediti rast provenijencija obične bukve, te utvrditi početak i završetak fenoloških faza listanja provenijencija obične bukve u međunarodnom testu provenijencija u Bosni i Hercegovini. Test obuhvaća osam provenijencija iz Bosne i Hercegovine, četiri iz Njemačke, tri iz Srbije, po dvije iz Hrvatske, Rumunije i Švicarske te jednu iz Mađarske (tablica 1). U proljeće 2017. godine mjerili smo visine i promjere vrata korijena biljaka u međunarodnom testu provenijencija. Također smo promatrali i bilježili pojavu fenoloških faza listanja kroz šest faza (slika 1): A – Spavajući pup; B – Pupovi izduženi, nabubreni, žućkasto-zelenkaste boje; C – Pupovi se počinju otvarati i vidi se prvo zelenilo; D – Počinju se javljati savijeni dlakavi listići; E – Listovi su odmotani, još lepezasti, prisutne blijede liske; F – Listovi su potpuno ­razvijeni, glatki i široki. Prosječna visina za sve provenijencije bila je 164,6 cm (tablica 2), a prosječan promjer vrata korjena 33,4 mm (tablica 5). Najmanju prosječnu visinu (104,2 cm) i promjer (22,6 mm) imala je provenijencija Alba - Iulia iz Rumunije (9664). Najveću prosječnu visinu (197,4 cm) i promjer (40,1 mm) imala je provenijencija Dilj Čaglinski iz Hrvatske (9624). Utvrdili smo razlike između provenijencija u pogledu pojavljivanja fenoloških faza listanja (tablica 8), kao i dužini trajanja faza (tablica 10). Faza B se najranije pojavila 31.3. kod provenijencija Grmeč Jasenica i Dinara iz Bosne i Hercegovine i Cer iz Srbije. Najkasnije se pojavila 8.5. kod provenijencija Herzogenbuchsee iz Švicarske i NS Hasbruch iz Njemačke. Fenofaza F najranije se pojavila 1.5. kod provenijencije Valkonya iz Mađarske. Analiza varijanse pokazala je da postoje statistički značajne razlike između provenijencija, kako u visini (tablica 3) i promjeru vrata korijena (tablica 6) tako i u dužini trajanja fenoloških faza (tablica 10). Biljke u međunarodnom testu provenijencija obične bukve su za vrijeme mjerenja bile stare 12 i 13 godina. Potrebno je vršiti daljnja mjerenja morfoloških svojstava kako bi se utvrdile tendencije rasta pojedinih provenijencija u idućim fazama razvoja. Također je potrebno promatrati fenološke faze kako bi se procijenili utjecaji genetske konstitucije i godišnje klime na fenološka kretanja. Rezultati ovog istraživanja poslužit će za odabir najboljih provenijencija po produktivnosti i otpornosti na kasne proljetne mrazeve.

Istraživanja su obavljena u nizinskom dijelu Varaždinske županije, u šumi posebne namjene „FOPER“, g. j. „Zelendvor odsjek 13c na oko 3 km udaljenosti od rijeke Drave na nadmorskoj visini od 190 m, u području gdje su sađene pretežito kulture smreke, borovca i bagrema iako je stanište pogodno za sadnju i uzgoj hrasta. S obzirom na promijenjene ekološke i klimatološke prilike osnovana je 2012. godine trajna pokusna ploha veličine 2,00 ha. Na plohi su posađene trogodišnje (2 + 1) sadnice hrasta lužnjaka (Quercus robur L.) i hrasta kitnjaka (Quercus petraea L.) i to na dva načina. Jedan dio u razmaku sadnje 3 x 3 m u polipropilenskim štitnicima. Drugi dio razmaka sadnje 2 x 2 m uobičajenim načinom (bez štitnika). Cijela je površina podijeljena na 24 pod plohe približnih površina. Na jednoj plohi nalazi se jedna vrsta drveća. Raspored vrsta je naizmjeničan od plohe do plohe. Upotrijebljen je randomizirani oblik metode, sa 4 bloka i 3 ponavljanja. Visine biljaka mjerene su 5 godina uzastopce za vrijeme mirovanja vegetacije. Prsni promjeri mjereni su na kraju promatranog razdoblja kada su biljke bile više od 1,30 m. Učešće i intenzitet pepelnice utvrđivan je tri godine tijekom ljetnih mjeseci. Cilj istraživanja je proučavanje rasta i razvoja sadnica hrasta lužnjaka i hrasta kitnjaka na prostoru gdje do sada nije bilo uobičajeno saditi navedene vrste, iako za to postoje ekološko gospodarski uvjeti. Istraživanja ukazuju kako je broj biljaka nakon 5 godina izmjere smanjen je za 14%. Kod hrasta lužnjaka smanjen je za 4 do 8%, a kod hrasta kitnjaka za 17 do 22%. Visine i prsni promjeri stabala u štitnicima značajno su veći bez obzira na vrstu drveća. Visine i prsni promjeri hrasta lužnjaka značajno su veće od hrasta kitnjaka. Nije utvrđena povezanost između visina stabala i prisutnosti pepelnice.

Successful vision screening efforts require the implementation of 12 key components of a strong vision health system of care. The National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health (NCCVEH) at Prevent Blindness partnered with the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) to provide guidance around these 12 components via a Vision and Eye Health webpage on the NASN website ( https://www.nasn.org/nasn-resources/practice-topics/vision-health ). This online resource is organized according to the 12 Components of a Strong Vison Health System of Care to support school nurses accountable for screening the vision of preschool and K-12 students. This NCCVEH/NASN webpage addresses key activities that support a child’s vision health—beginning with parent/caregiver education and ending with an annual evaluation of the school’s vision health system. Each of these 12 components will be described in NASN School Nurse. The May 2019 installment provided information about the 12 components approach as a whole and details on Family Education and a Comprehensive Communication/Approval Process. This installment describes Components 3 and 4: Vision Screening Tools and Procedures and Vision Health for Children with Special Health Care Needs.

This leads to highlight the need to act in the psychoeducational field to influence the adequate development of the self-concept from the early school years. It is concluded by making a call of attention to teachers involved in their education, in order to provide support in the curricular areas that require it and introduce methodological changes in the teaching-learning process that will help these children and young people to improve their selfconcept and academic performance, as well as to facilitate their social inclusion.Keywords: self-concept; low vision; childhood; youth; educationResumen.El presente estudio se planteó como objetivo principal determinar si niños/as, adolescentes y jóvenes afectados de baja visión, mostraban diferencias en el autoconcepto respecto a iguales sin dificultades visuales.

Purpose. To report clinical results of a foldable, hydrophilic acrylic, single-piece, injectable, posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (pIOL).Material and Methods. Medical records of patients who underwent posterior chamber phakic IOL (Eyecryl Phakic IOL, Biotech Vision Care, Ahmedabad, India) implantation for surgical correction of myopia were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients with at least a one-year follow-up were included. Manifest refraction, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), endothelial cell density (ECD), and pIOL vault were analyzed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Complications observed during and after surgery were also recorded.Results. The study included 58 eyes of 29 patients. Mean patient age was 32 ± 7 years. Spherical equivalent of manifest refraction was −13.41 ± 3.23 D preoperatively and −0.44 ± 0.55 D postoperatively. Preoperative CDVA was 0.29 ± 0.71 logMAR. Postoperative UDVA and CDVA were 0.21 ± 0.66 and 0.15 ± 0.69 logMAR, respectively, at the 12-month visit. At the 12-month visit, the efficacy index was 1.20 and the safety index was 1.39. Mean ECD was 2713 ± 339 cells/mm2at the preoperative visit and 2608 ± 362 cells/mm2at the 12-month visit (3.9% loss,p<0.001). ECD loss from 3 months to 12 months was not statistically significant. No significant cataract formation, significant endothelial cell loss, glaucoma, uveitis, or any other vision-threatening complication was observed.Conclusion. Based on postoperative experience, we have found that Eyecryl Phakic IOL is safe and effective for treating high myopia.

Abstract:
Purpose. To compare the visual and refractive outcomes and night vision performance questionnaire results between V4c and V5 implantable Collamer lenses in a prospective, randomized, multicenter study.Settings. Four refractive surgery centers.Design. Prospective randomized multicenter single-masked comparative study.Methods. Twenty-three patients were enrolled in this study. A conventional V4c model (EVO Visian ICL) was implanted in one eye, and a V5 model (EVO+ Visian ICL), which has a larger optic diameter than the V4c model, was implanted in the contralateral eye. The uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were evaluated before and 6 months after surgery. At 6 months after surgery, a questionnaire on night vision disturbances was administered. The efficacy, safety, and predictability of the two implanted ICL models were compared.Results. There were no significant differences in the postoperative UDVA and CDVA between the two ICL models. The mean efficacy indexes for the V4c and V5 lenses were 1.16 ± 0.22 and 1.03 ± 0.23, respectively. The mean safety indexes of the V4c and V5 lenses were 1.21 ± 0.20 and 1.19 ± 0.20, respectively. The night vision performance questionnaire revealed that 7 patients (37%) noticed a difference in visual performance between the eyes, and all of them reported that they could see better at night with the V5-implanted eye compared with the V4c-implanted eye.Conclusion. The V4c and V5 ICL models achieved similar visual and refractive outcomes, whereas the V5 model showed a possible advantage in reducing night vision disturbances.

Abstract:
In 1930, John Maynard Keynes travelled to Madrid to deliver an address titled “Possible Economic Situation of our Grandchildren”. In this visit, he gave an autographed note to a little girl, of just eight years of age, telling her that “she is living in the midst of the creation of what is more noble and desirable in civilisation.” This paper explores the historical facts of Keynes’s visit in Madrid and tries to find out who –and what kind of vision– most influenced Keynes in his conception of the ideal society.

Este lugar fotosensible de resonancias que conducen a la visión nos permite un estudio de la imagen-visual cinematográfica desde esta condición radical de materia vibrátil de luz, en la que confluyen una multiplicidad de estratos de experiencia, y en la que todo opera al nivel de la energía: una tensión en la luz y una presencia de capas geológicas que se estructuran en un cosmos sensorial donde fluyen una serie de resonancias, relaciones y estructuras en su interior, y que la convierten en un medio de visión.

Abstract:
A 22-year-old woman presented with a 2-week history of decreased vision, a central scotoma and metamorphopsia in her right eye. Her presenting visual acuity was 6/75 in the right eye and 6/6 in the left eye. Anterior segment examination was normal. Fundus examination of both eyes showed features of bilateral congenital hypertrophy of retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE) lesions and choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in the right eye. She was treated with intravitreal injection bevacizumab 1.25 mg/0.05 mL. One month later, there was regression of the CNV and subretinal fluid and her vision improved to 6/12. At the final follow-up visit, her vision was maintained at 6/9 with regression of CNV noted. To conclude, CNV is a rare association of CHRPE. It can lead to vision-threatening problem if it involves the macula and should be identified promptly and managed appropriately.

Abstract:
Abstract By the end of this decade, the USA is projected to experience an increase of more than 50% in the number of people with poorer vision health as the population grows older. Using data from the NHANES III (1988–1994) for 7,186 White, Black, and Hispanic adults of ages 50 to 90 (Mean=68.23, SD=10), this paper examines the racial/ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in vision health in the older adult population. The focus of this paper is on Visual Impairment indicators: full/partial blindness and trouble seeing with glasses to demonstrate vision health disparities in these race/ethnic groups in terms of family income using logistic regression analysis. Controls include demographic characteristics like age, gender, marital status, region, education and behavioral features like alcohol consumption and smoking. We explore another component of vision health: days since last visit to healthcare provider to evaluate the inequalities in access to health care using OLS regression analysis. In Whites (OR=.85) and Blacks (OR=.63), people with less family income are more likely to experience blindness, however, there exists no significant variability in blindness in terms of family income among Hispanics. In Black (OR=.82) and Hispanics (OR=.85), people with less family income are more likely to have trouble seeing even with glasses, however, this relationship does not exist among Whites. Days since last visit can be explained by income for Whites (Beta=-92), not for Blacks and Hispanics. This compounded disparity puts a disproportionate economic burden on minority groups, but the current Medicare policy fails to address that.

Abstract:
Background: Inflammation, oxidative stress, and adipogenesis are associated with Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) progression. Objective: We conducted a pilot study to investigate the effect of Enalapril on patients with mild ophthalmopathy. Method: Based on the comprehensive eye examination, 12 patients with mild ophthalmopathy were selected from referred Graves’ patients and treated with Enalapril (5 mg daily) for 6 months. Clinical and ophthalmological examination [IOP (Intraocular Pressure), vision, Margin reflex distance and exophthalmia measurement, CAS (clinical activity score) and VISA [V (vision); I (inflammation/ congestion); S (strabismus/motility restriction); and A (appearance/exposure] score assessment) was performed at the beginning, 3 months and 6 months of the study period. Quality of life was also evaluated using a standard questionnaire. Results: Mean exophthalmia at the first visit was 18.75 ± 2.39, 3 months later 18.53 ± 2.39 and 6 months later was 17.92 ± 2.31, respectively. Mean CAS was 0.71 ± 0.82 (first visit), 0.57 ± 0.54 (3 months) and 0.14 ± 0.36 (6 months), respectively. Mean Margin reflex distance was 9.09 ± 4.36 (first visit) and 9.60 ± 4.40 (6 months), respectively. There were significant differences in the case of exophthalmia (P=0.002), CAS (P=0.006), and Margin reflex distance (P=0.029) between the first visit and 6 months after treatment. The difference between the score of quality of life in patients with GO after 6 months of follow up was statistically significant (P = 0.006). Conclusion: Our results showed that Enalapril treatment could ameliorate the clinical course of GO according to the ophthalmologic examinations and subjective parameters of disease progression. However, further studies should be performed to determine the efficacy of Enalapril in Graves’ ophthalmopathy treatment.

Postoperative vision loss (POVL) is a rare but devastating complication that has only recently been reported following laparoscopic surgery. We present the case of a 34-year-old gravida 6 para 4 female who experienced POVL following an uncomplicated laparoscopic hysterectomy. Operating time was 174 minutes, and EBL was 75 mL. After surgery, she complained of complete vision loss with no light perception. No cerebral hemorrhage or ischemia was detected on imaging. Funduscopic exam revealed no structural abnormalities. On postoperative day 7, she received an IV methylprednisolone taper. The following morning, she reported mild light perception. Later that night, she reported a partial return of visual acuity and was discharged home. At her 2-week postoperative visit, her vision had returned to baseline. POVL is an emergency and prompt evaluation should be initiated to optimize outcome.

Abstract:
Abstract The aim of this essay is to give a high-level overview of Irenaeus’s beatific vision, and to suggest that for him, the beatific vision has a temporal dimension (now and future) and a dimension of degree (lesser now, greater in the future). His beatific vision is witnessed as it intersects with at least four main ideas in his writing—the Trinity, anthropology, resurrection, and his eschatology. Irenaeus famously held that ‘the glory of God is living man, and the life of man is the vision of God’ (AH 4.20.7), which speaks to the reality of seeing God in the present, but he could also look forward in anticipation to beholding the face of God in the resurrected body in the new creation. What made the latter possible is the gradual beholding of God in the present that makes one prepared to see God’s glory in the future. Additionally, the visio Dei is Trinitarian. We behold God in Christ, since God the Father is invisible, and it is the Holy Spirit who prepares us incrementally to see God.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The recent introduction of new technologies such as augmented reality, machine learning and the worldwide spread of mobile devices provided with imaging, navigation sensors and high computational power can be exploited in order to drammatically change the museum visit experience. Differently from the traditional use of museum docents or audio guides, the introduction of digital technologies already proved to be useful in order to improve the interest of the visitor thanks to the increased interaction and involvement, reached also by means of visual effects and animations. Actually, the availability of 3D representations, augmented reality and navigation abilities directly on the visitor’s device can lead to a personalized visit, enabling the visitor to have an experience tailored on his/her needs. In this framework, this paper aims at investigating the potentialities of smartphone stereo-vision to improve the geometric information about the artworks available on the visitor’s device. More specifically, in this work smartphone stereo-vision will used as a 3D model generation tool in a 3D artwork recognition system based on a neural network classifier.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
Critical analysis of Piers Plowman frequently rests on two assumptions — the theory of bipartition (the division of the poem into visio and vita) and the related theory of segmentation of the vita into the triad: dowel, dobet, and dobest. These theories have resulted in readings of the poem invariably quadripartite and triadic and, in my view, have obscured the dominant of Piers Plowman—the dream vision genre. Biparition and segmentation inevitably mask the B-text’s unique arrangement of a sequence of dream visions (each with its distinctive generic markers of prologue, vision, and epilogue) and cloud any structural grouping of those visions. The visio section, for example, combines dream visions one and two (B. Prol., Passus 1-7), and any structural configuration which extends beyond this theoretical boundary seems untenable — perhaps even unthinkable — given the critical tradition of the poem. That critical tradition, however, rests on past editorial decisions and involves to some extent the suppression and misrepresentation of manuscript evidence of disagreement with, challenge to, and uncertainty regarding bipartition and segmentation. Some manuscripts foster suggestions of an alternative grouping of dream visions within Piers Plowman, suggestions that emerge from the ordinatio.

There was lack of awareness to visit an ophthalmologist for headache as he thought that after undergoing cataract surgery, the role of ophthalmologist was limited. His approach to our centre was only after intense headache with sudden loss of vision. He had actually developed secondary glaucoma due to pupillary block angle closure as a late complication following yttrium aluminium garnet capsulotomy. After medical and surgical management, he regained his complete vision with total relief from headache.

Abstract:
Tourism is simply selling air in the sky, but putting it in a beautiful balloon. Visit Nepal 2020 is a mega program of Nepal in tourism development. The event has to be a turning point of development of Nepalese tourism. It could be a milestone of Nepalese Tourism in economic transformation of the country. Vision 2020 of tourism ministry has set the vision of two million tourists arrival and one million job creation in Nepal. The vision and the target itself a massive challenge. Meeting the challenge is to create a favorable condition in economy. At this crucial time Nepal has to address the issues of opportunities and challenges. Objectively, to identify the opportunities and challenges of visit Nepal 2020 the study has been conducted. Methodologically the study is a descriptive qualitative analysis of different secondary information depending upon the reviews of different literature. In conclusion the study has revealed the opportunities as the arrival of two million tourists, creation of one million tourism related jobs, advancement of nature and culture, and adventure diversities, linkage with Indian and Chinese economies, development of Public-Private- Partnership models, disaster resilience chances, chances of major tourism development, decentralization of Nepalese tourism, and investment opportunities. Similarly, the challenges revealed by the study are insufficient infrastructures, inadequate investments, limited connectivity and weak national carriers, poor coordination among government agencies, scarcity of resources and marketing. To grab the opportunities Nepal governments, tourism ministries, departments, Nepal Tourism Board and entire tourism stakeholders have to meet the revealed challenges.

Abstract:
In this prospective, interventional case-control study, 58 patients with unilateral acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) were recruited. Patients ≥ 18 years age, presenting with first episodes of acute CSCR, were included. Acute CSCR was defined by the presence of subretinal fluid (SRF) and symptoms for <12 weeks duration with no clinical or imaging features of chronicity. Patients were alternately divided into treatment (Table Eplerenone 50 mg/day for minimum 1 month) and observation groups. Vision, SRF height and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) were checked at 1-, 2- and 3-months in both eyes of each group. Each group had 29 eyes. Mean age was 40.4 ± 7.1 and 43.3 ± 8.34 years in treatment and observation group, respectively. Mean symptom duration was 6.46 ± 1.45 and 5.87 ± 2.09 weeks, respectively. Vision improvement to 6/6 was seen in 92%, 100% and 100% cases in treatment group and 74%, 86% and 100% in control group at each visit, respectively. Complete SRF resolution in the treatment group was noted in 45%, 55% and 62% cases at each respective monthly visit. In the observation group, complete SRF resolution was noted in 10%, 21% and 31% at 1-, 2- and 3-month visits, respectively. SRF (p < 0.001) and SFCT (p < 0.001) reduction was noted in the affected eye of both groups. SFCT was reduced in the fellow eye after treatment (p = 0.005) compared to the observation group (p = 0.276). In conclusion, oral eplerenone achieves faster SRF resolution and vision improvement in acute CSCR. Additionally, it shows beneficial effects on the fellow eye.

Abstract:
Purpose:The aim of this study was to determine the impact of OrCam on vision-related quality of life of patients with legal blindness and end-stage glaucoma. OrCam is a device comprised of a camera and earpiece attached to the user’s eyeglass that translates written text to speech.Methods:In this prospective, observational study, a total of 27 participants were recruited and tested. All participants were legally blind. Participants were provided with the OrCam device during the study period and trained how to operate it. National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 (NEI-VFQ-25) and other questionnaires were given to participants at the baseline visit and at the end of the 4-week study for comparison. Additional questions were surveyed weekly during the study to monitor progress.Results:At the final visit after 1 month, most participants, 74.1% ( n = 20/27), reported an increase in their overall quality of life. Participants were highly satisfied with the device; 88.9% ( n = 24/27) reported being “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the device. The NEI-VFQ-25 near vision subscale score improved from 29.9 to 37.2 ( p = .045).Discussion:OrCam allowed participants with legal blindness to read independently when in controlled settings, subsequently improving their quality of life. However, users had more difficulty using the device when the location of text was not readily apparent (e.g., street signs, billboards), and users with some degree of vision had an easier time aligning the device with the text.Implications for practitioners:This device may offer participants with visual impairments the opportunity to read independently.

Abstract:
Recently, several professional groups have recommended a change from chart-based to instrument-based screening for preschool-age children, but the effect of this change on health care utilization is unknown. We performed a secondary analysis of a site-randomized quality improvement project on transitioning from chart-based to instrument-based vision screening for 3- to 5-year-old children in primary care. We analyzed visit rates to ophthalmologists and optometrists and costs of such care before and after implementation of instrument-based vision screening with comparison to nonparticipating practices. The implementation of instrument-based vision screening resulted in a decrease in visits to eye care specialists from 83.1 visits per 1000 children per year to 55.0, a reduction of 33.8%; no comparable reduction was seen in nonparticipating practices. The cost of services by eye care specialists fell from $65 715 per 1000 children per year prior to $55 740, a decline of 15.2%; similar costs among control practices rose 13.4%.
