The increasing demands on limited water supplies worldwide require the adoption of more efficient irrigation techniques for sustainable production in agriculture. Partial rootzone drying (PRD) is one of the techniques that offer potential saving of irrigation water. This technique involves alternate irrigation to two sides of a plant root system. The studies reported here investigated PRD irrigation regimes and the optimum time of starting PRD in potatoes grown in a protected environment. In the first experiment, plants of the potato cv. Estima were exposed to five different irrigation treatments and a fully watered control at tuber initiation. The treatment that performed most similar to the control was alternate PRD to field capacity (APRD100). This treatment produced similar total leaf area, haulm fresh and dry weights, plant water status and no significant yield reduction compared with the control plants. The APRD100 treatment utilised 29% less water and increased water use efficiency (WUE) by 19%. In the second experiment, the APRD100 irrigation was started at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks after plant emergence. Vegetative growth and yield increased with the delay of the APRD100. APRD100 started at 6 weeks after emergence did not significantly reduce fresh tuber yield but received 21% less total water with a 19% increase in WUE. The results indicate that PRD may have potential use in the potato crop for conserving irrigation water with minimal loss of yield.
Aims and MethodWe examined the impact of a crisis resolution and home treatment teams (CRHTT) on hospital admission rates, bed days and treatment satisfaction among older people with mental illness and their carers. We compared these factors in the 6 months before the service started and 6 months after its introduction.ResultsThe CRHTT significantly reduced admissions (P<0.001), but there was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay as compared before and after the introduction of this service. There was a trend towards carers, but not patients, being more satisfied with treatment after the introduction of the CRHTT.Clinical ImplicationsThe CRHTT reduced hospital admissions for older people by 31% and carers preferred the service. Further research on crisis teams in older people with mental illness is needed using randomised controlled methodology.
Time is a precious and so important thing as well as the blessing of the Creator in the world. It is the time which makes, changes, creates, decorates, maintains, develops, strengthens, and successes the present and secures the future of the people and the nations. Time considers a great cure and care for any unethical, unsocial and invaluable matter and event. Time settles each and every hurdle and difficulty of any system and nation with its pace, speed and direction. If time is managed properly according to needs and the requirements of the matters and phenomenon of any nation then no one can stop any nation to be a developed and successful.This research paper aims to explore and investigate the importance and see the impact of Time Management in the professional life of teachers and the performance of the students of Primary schools in the districts of Hyderabad. In these connections 30 primary teachers were constituted as the sample of the study. Interviews were conducted on the Primary school Teachers of Government / Public and Private School Teachers in order to collect the data about Time Management of teachers and the Performance of the students. A qualitative research design was used to collect data from the sample.
Background The COVID‐19 pandemic has created a need to prioritize care because of limitation of resources. Owing to the heterogeneity and high prevalence of breast cancers, the need to prioritize care in this vulnerable population is essential. While various medical societies have published recommendations to manage breast disease during the COVID‐19 pandemic, most are focused on the Western world and do not necessarily address the challenges of a resource‐limited setting. Aim In this article, we describe our institutional approach for prioritizing care for patients presenting with breast disease. Methods and results The breast disease management guidelines were developed and approved with the expertise of the Multidisciplinary Breast Program Leadership Committee (BPLC) of the Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan. These guidelines were inspired, adapted, and modified keeping in view the needs of our resource‐limited healthcare system. These recommendations are also congruent with the ethical guidelines developed by the Center of Biomedical Ethics and Culture (CBEC) at the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi. Our institutional recommendations outline a framework to triage patients based on the urgency of care, scheduling conflicts, and tumor board recommendations, optimizing healthcare workers' schedules, operating room reallocation, and protocols. We also describe the “Virtual Blended Clinics”, a resource‐friendly means of conducting virtual clinics and a comprehensive plan for transitioning back into the post‐COVID routine. Conclusion Our institutional experience may be considered as a guide during the COVID‐19 pandemic, particularly for triaging care in a resource‐limited setting; however, these are not meant to be universally applicable, and individual cases must be tailored based on physicians' clinical judgment to provide the best quality care.
The research paper is designed to explore the achievement of the aims and objectives of teaching remedial English. It also aims to know the importance of the course and the problems of the students regarding the teaching of remedial English at university level in Pakistan with special reference to university of Sindh, Jamshoro. In this regard many efforts were taken by the tutors, lecturers, assistant professors, professors and the administration of the university to enhance the capabilities and efficiencies of the students of undergraduate level. All students of undergraduate level and the teachers who take remedial English classes are constituted as the Population of the study. Five (n=5) teachers who teach remedial classes and forty (n=40) students from different departments were recruited as the sample of the study through purposive and random sampling techniques. Interviews were conducted from students and tutors who attend and teach remedial English course respectively. 90% students found unsatisfied from the administration of the classes and they stressed that the classes should be conducted separately at department level and they demanded for the basic needed facilities during the classes such as the facility of language laboratory, availability of computers, multimedia, audio and video resources in order to accelerate and enhance the teaching learning process to improve English language skills. Keywords: teaching; remedial English; problems of students IntroductionLanguage is a way of communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, postures and written symbols. It includes its rules for combining its components, such as words, sentences, etc. Language may be the most suitable distinguishing characteristicness by which to arrange systematically in classes of humans with in the system of nature, even more on the basis of rationality (Homo sapiens) or technology. It is not because of the language is more expressive than rationality and more natural than technology. In a sense Homo Loquens generously cover all other terms, since the very deed of (exact meaning) definition is itself runs with in language. The language which is first learned is called the native of the children or the mother tongue. Both of these language terms mother and second / non-mother tongue are Metaphorical in which the knowledge of any particular language is gained through behaviour not inherited. Almost from 20 th century on wards linguistics have displayed keen interest in knowing about the theory that no one is born with a predisposition towards any language, but contrary all human beings are genetically/biologically endowed with the ability to learn and use language in general and proper way. Noam Chomsky the inventor of the theory of Transformal/Generative grammar English as an International LanguageEnglish language belongs to the Germanic languages branch of the Indo-European language family, widely spoken in six continents. It's a primary language of the U....
