Full textAbstract:
Travel writing is a literary genre that remain concerned with travelling accounts or records of a person. Such accounts enable one to know about different cities and countries and become familiar with varied cultures, behavioral patterns and their living conditions. Travel writings are being produced since time immemorial. India is a land of diverse cultures, languages, and food habits that remained a favourite destination among travel enthusiasts living both India and abroad. Many European, Chinese and Arab Travel writers like Jean Baptiste Tavernier, Ibn-e-Battuta and Hiuen Tsang have written at length about their experiences of travelling to India. They all have written works on India, its culture and the people that are living there. Their accounts are not reliable from the information point of view because they are based on whatever these travellers have seen or witnessed around them. They do not provide an actual image of India but rather presented an unrealistic portrayal of India in their writings. They have not focused on the adversities and social evils that were prevalent at that time. Earlier, travel writings remain a product of colonial enterprise. That is why there is a need for India travel writers to discuss their opinions regarding the impression of India and the people at large. Through this paper, I will try to show the history of Indian travel writings and works that are being done under this genre until now. At the same time, I will also discuss about the recent changes that are happening in this genre.

A review of literature pertaining to online travel behaviour shows that most travel purchases in India are done online. In India, 68% of the population book flight tickets directly. India has an urban adult population of 240 million out of which 27% or 65 million go on holidays. India has 205 million internet users and 110 million Smartphone users. Online Travel bookings are expected to grow rapidly as India’s online travel penetration is expected to increase It is not only restricted to online product purchases. This paper is an attempt to discuss online tourist behaviour in the burgeoning Tourism Industry. The paper also looks into some key aspects such as the performance of the service sector, E-commerce and development of internet which are majorly responsible for developing customer expectation. It also throws light on online tourist behaviour and means of delivering a good experience to the tourists through an array of online services.

There is an increasing evidence of people from Bangladesh travelling to neighboring countries of Asia, such as India, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore for medical treatment due to poor quality of healthcare services, high cost, and non-availability of speciality medical treatment and facilities. Medical travel is a practise where patients travel to other countries for diagnostic, pathological and complex invasive surgeries due to various push factors in their home country which prevents them for getting affordable, accessible and accredited quality of medical treatment in a timely manner, due to high cost of surgery, uninsured, long waiting period, non-availability of treatment, lack of medical facilities and proper care, lack of trained doctors and nurses, ethical and regulatory reasons, corruption and inadequate public or private medical facilities. This study is based on qualitative and quantitative analysis to examine why people are travelling from Bangladesh to India for medical treatment. Quantitative data were randomly collected from six divisional cities of Bangladesh: Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Rajshai, Barisal and Khulna and two districts Comilla and Bogra. A total of 1282 participants, out of 1450 returned the questionnaires. Data were analyzed using regression analysis. The results concluded that the pull factors that motivated Bangladeshis to travel to India for medical treatment were: low cost of surgery, qualified experienced doctors, quality of nursing care, non-availability of treatment in Bangladesh, and state of the art medical facilities and treatment in India, which concurs with the literature

Full textAbstract:
The present study provides a comprehensive overview of the 18th–19th century Hungarian or Hungary-related India travellers. In this context, relying upon the author’s subjective value judgement, individuals who visited India and South Asia, respectively, at any point during the period indicated in the title are systematized according to the strength of their work’s and oeuvre’s connection to the Indian subcontinent, as well as their social backgrounds, occupations, motives and goals, and not least the value of their contribution to travel and scientific literature and their significance in the history of science. In the case of India travellers in the strict sense, i.e. whose oeuvre is closely intertwined with India, the author devotes a separate analysis to the everyday and scientific aspects of their memory, their positions in memory space, the appearance of their memory in physical form, and the reasons behind the differences perceptible in these issues.

Full textAbstract:
Recent guidebooks for the Westerner traveling to Northern India generally refer the prospective visitor to a common range of cities around Delhi – Agra, Jaipur, and Udaipur; within these, the Taj Mahal, Jaipur's Pink City and nearby Amber Fort, and Udaipur's glamorous lake palaces usually merit must-see status. Until its refurbishment a few years ago, the Albert Hall Museum, an elaborate structure with old-fashioned interiors and a location a kilometer south of Jaipur's city center, ranked as a second- or even third-tier tourist attraction; travel guides from recent years mention it with indifference, describing its collections as “dusty” and “fine, if carelessly exhibited” (Bindloss and Singh 170), or even suggesting that “a slow circular turn around the building in a car will suffice” (Frommers 520). Yet a century ago the Museum proudly occupied a primary place in British travel guides to India. It opened with ceremony and fanfare in 1887, and by 1898 almost three million Indian and over ten thousand European visitors had passed through its doors (Hendley, Report 9). A striking example of colonial architecture, constructed of white stone with numerous courtyards, covered walkways, and ornamented domes (Figure 1), it was regarded as perhaps the most noteworthy edifice within a noteworthy Indian city. Thomas Holbein Hendley, resident Surgeon-Major in Jaipur, chief curator for the 1883 Jaipur Exhibition, and the Albert Hall Museum's Secretary and tireless champion, recommended that travelers in Jaipur for a single day make two visits, both morning and evening, to the site, and that those with an additional day to spend in the city schedule a third visit. Murray's Handbook for Travellers in India, Burma and Ceylon concurred, describing it as “a beautiful museum – an Oriental South Kensington, suitably housed” (174), and just after the turn of the century, English journalist Sidney Low recalled that it was “the best museum, with one exception, in all India, a museum which, in the careful selection and the judicious arrangement of its contents, is a model of what such an institution ought to be” (114).

Full textAbstract:
This study contributes to the literature by offering insights over the relationship between job satisfaction and work stress with employees’ motivation among travel agencies in India. The paper aims to determine the impact of job satisfaction and work stress on employees’ motivation level with a specific focus on the moderating impact of employees’ expertise and marital status in the context of travel agencies in Southern India. A survey was conducted over employees of travel agencies in Southern India by adopting scales from the extant studies, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling through Smart PLS. The outcome of the study reveals that job satisfaction has a strong significant effect on employees’ motivation, unlike work stress and employees’ expertise has a partial significant moderating effect on the relationship between work stress and motivation. The study stressed much about the combined effects of the mediators. The present study has tested the new composite scale to measure the overall motivational level, unlike the previous studies. The survey was conducted between November 2019 and December 2019 and entails 164 respondents, the majority of the subjects are millennials between 18 and 35 years, with 43.3% having master’s degree, all were found to be pre-qualified for the investigation.

Full textAbstract:
The different and changing meanings of the ruined form in the European consciousness point to its position as a discursive space, expressed in ideas of a ‘ruin motif’. However, most historical investigations into ruins have been concerned with classical structures in the European context. This thesis examines the operations of the ruin motif in the setting of nineteenth century-century colonial India through a study of John Benjamin Seely’s travel text The Wonders of Elora (1824) and James Fergusson’s The History of Architecture in All Countries (1874). It argues that the ruin motif was an important means by which the aims, difficulties and tensions in colonial discourses were articulated.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the Picturesque as a visual aesthetic that is often self-consciously employed in the travel accounts of British women in India in the first half of the nineteenth century. It addresses how three women - Fanny Parks, Marianne Postans, and Emily Eden - made use of the language of aesthetics, in particular that of the Picturesque (a style deemed especially appropriate for women travellers) in a variety of ways: first, to help them understand and relate to their experiences in this foreign land; second, to convey these experiences to their audiences back home; and, third to carve out what frequently becomes a feminised space within the established (and predominantly masculine) field of travel writing. The approach is largely historicist in order to situate the authors (and artists) within their contemporary cultural, social, and political context. My work builds upon that of literary scholars Elizabeth Bohls, Nigel Leask, and Sara Suleri in its interweaving of historical research and visual aesthetics with a literary analysis of travel writing and colonialism, bringing to bear their insights on authors previously little or not at all addressed in critical literature. Expanding on the notion of the 'Indian picturesque', which Leask begins to shape in his work, I bring Parks, Postans, and Eden into dialogue with the suggestions of Bohls and Suleri that women travel writers adapt the traditionally masculine ideal of the Picturesque aesthetic. After an introduction and two chapters which explore the broader themes concerning the development of the Picturesque and its influence on British artistic representations of India, I briefly summarise how this visual aesthetic came to be applied to written texts about travels in the region, beginning with the texts produced by male travellers, and with a specific focus on the travel narrative of Captain Godfrey Charles Mundy, whose accounts are referenced in Fanny Parks' work. My thesis then offers three case studies considering each writer in order of their arrival in India - starting with Fanny Parks' autobiography of her travels (published in 1850), followed by the published works of Marianne Postans in the 1830s, and through to those of Emily Eden, relating to her travels in the same decade and published in 1866. Aside from drawing on the aesthetics of visual art, the discussion of each author also addresses the importance of other sources to which they allude that enable aesthetic responses to India's landscape and peoples.

Full textAbstract:
Les récits des voyageurs, réputés pour leur caractère authentique, se présentent comme une source d’information véritable et de première main. Pourtant, l’étude littéraire de ces textes fait apparaître un ensemble de problématiques liées à l’écriture de cet ailleurs lointain mais déjà connu grâce aux témoignages des prédecesseurs antiques et médiévaux. Les interférences des différents genres littéraires réactualisent l’imaginaire d’une Inde des merveilles, pour une littérature à sensations fortes. La première partie interroge la mise en récit théâtralisée d’une des premières tentatives de classification humaine. Le voyageur apparaît alors comme soignant son auto-représentation, par rapport à laquelle se dessine le peuple indien, réparti selon les différentes castes perçues. La seconde partie s’intéresse à l’écriture d’une cartographie imaginaire construite à partir de trois pôles : ces derniers sont incarnés par trois figures prototypiques. Les mises en récit de ces personnages héroïques, en plus de s’inscrire dans une forme réaménagée du récit historique et/ou d’aventures, proposent une écriture du pouvoir en mettant au jour les intrigues de cour et autres histoires secrètes. La troisième partie confronte l’écriture de l’imaginaire avec sa mise en image. Il s’agit ici d’étudier la recréation d’une Inde comprise à travers le prisme chrétien mais aussi en réaction contre celui-ci. Ainsi l’élaboration d’un bestiaire indien, principalement contruit autour de grandes figures du panthéon hindou, donne aux voyageurs l’occasion d’interroger à la fois le rapport des indigènes avec leur religion et avec la natureThe stories of travellers, known for their authenticity, they are a source of first-hand and authentic information. However, the literary study of these texts reveals a series of problems linked to the writing of this distant elsewhere but already known thanks to the testimonies of the ancient and medieval predecessors. The interferences of the different literary genres update the imaginary of an India of wonders, to offer a literature with strong sensations. The first part questions the theatrical narrative presentation of one of the first attempts at human classification. The traveller then appears as a healer of his self-representation, in contrast to which the Indian people are drawn up, divided according to the different castes perceived. The second part is concerned with the writing of an imaginary cartography constructed from three poles. The latter are embodied by three prototypical figures. The narration of these heroic characters, in addition to being part of a revamped form of the historical narrative and/or adventures, proposes a writing of power by bringing to light court intrigues and other secret stories. The third part confronts the writing of the imaginary with its image setting. The aim here is to study the recreation of an India understood through the Christian prism, but also in reaction to it. Thus, the elaboration of an Indian bestiary, mainly built around large figures of the Hindu pantheon, gives travellers the opportunity to question both the relationship of the natives with their religion and with nature

Full textAbstract:
Le travail a consisté à réaliser l’édition commentée de l’Itinerario de Vartema (Rome,1510), compte-rendu écrit par Vartema à l’issue de son voyage, qui le mena de Venise aux Indes en passant par l’Arabie (1503-08). Bien que ce texte ait donné lieu à plusieurs éditions dans plusieurs langues européennes, il n’a en effet jamais fait l’objet d‘une édition critique. Le voyage eut lieu au moment où les grandes découvertes bouleversèrent l’image du monde: il s’agissait du premier voyage par voie de terre effectué par un occidental au moment où les Portugais créèrent la route commerciale maritime des épices. Vartema est un homme fascinant qui a endossé avec aisance des rôles très éloignés de la mentalité occidentale, nous laissant un document unique dans sa manière de reformuler son expérience. L’objet de la recherche se situe au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines: l’histoire littéraire, la philologie, la littérature de voyage, l’histoire de la géographie, du livre et des sciencesThe aim of this research is the preparation of an annotated critical edition of the de Ludovico de Vartema bolognese of Bologna (1st ed. Rome, 1510). This is a record written by Vartema on his way back from a journey which took him from Venice to the East Indies and through Arabia between 1503 and 1508. It gives an account of the first journey made by a western man after the Portuguese created their commercial empire. Although in the sixteenth century several editions of this work in many languages were issued, it has never before been the subject of a critical edition. Vartema’s Itinerario is the account of a charming man who was able to get inside the minds of people distant from the western mentality. He has left us a unique document since the way his experiences have been told is poised among many disciplines including: political philology, language history, text analysis, history and geography, science book history, travel literature
Copo del presente lavoro di ricerca è stata la realizzazione dell’edizione critica commentata dell’Itinerario de Ludovico de Vartema bolognese (Roma,1510). Si tratta del resoconto scritto da Vartema al ritorno dal suo viaggio, che lo portò da Venezia alle Indie orientali, passando per l’Arabia, tra il 1503 e il 1508. Si tratta del primo viaggio effettuato da un occidentale nel momento in cui i Portoghesi crearono il loro impero commerciale. Sebbene nel sedicesimo secolo questo testo abbia visto numerose edizioni in molte lingue, non è mai stato oggetto di un’edizione critica. Lo studio dell’Itinerario di Vartema - uomo affascinante che si cala facilmente in ruoli molto lontano dalla mentalità occidentale e che ci lascia un documento unico per il modo in cui l’esperienza vi è raccontata - si situa al centro degli sguardi incrociati di molte discipline: filologia politica, storia della lingua, analisi del testo, storia e geografia, storia del libro delle scienze, letteratura di viaggio

La aparición del libro de Marco Polo está relacionada con un renovado interés por la Cruzada, la posibilidad de establecer contacto con la retaguardia del Islam y la obtención así de la supremacía del Occidente latino sobre otras comunidades imaginadas. Su fama y extraordinaria difusión, sin embargo, se explican por su capacidad de cuestionar los fundamentos de dicha aspiración. Ésta es la paradoja que el presente libro analiza con la ayuda de otros textos contemporáneos de viajes al Lejano Oriente, trayectos que describen un movimiento que circula entre la aquiescencia con formas tradicionales de poder y la resistencia a esas mismas fuerzas. La demanda por parte de las élites europeas de información actualizada y concreta sobre las Indias inauguraba una forma de representación del Oriente que, al convertirlo en objeto pasivo y carente de soberanía sobre sí mismo, contribuyó a la expansión política y espiritual del Occidente. Ésta es la historia de una forma de Orientalismo destinada a perdurar.

Scobie, Claire. "The representation of the figure of the devadasi in European travel writing and art from 1770 to 1820 with specific reference to Dutch writer Jacob Haafner : an exegesis and The pagoda tree, a novel." Thesis, 2013. http://handle.uws.edu.au:8081/1959.7/564029.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the figure of the devadasi, or temple dancer, a familiar trope in European travel literature and art from 1770 to 1820. Comprised of two parts, the critical component of the work analyses the representation of the figure of the devadasi through a close reading of a selection of eighteenth-century texts. Historically specific and anchored within travel writing and post-Saidian Orientalist theory, I argue that despite the limitations of these accounts, in both form and content, they shed light upon the complex cross-cultural interactions of the period. The texts range from travel accounts, with a particular focus on Dutch author, Jacob Haafner, contrasted with English Company servant, John Henry Grose and French missionary, Abbé J.A Dubois, some eighteenth-century paintings, and two indigenous works—the erotic Telugu poetry of Muddupalani, an eighteenth-century courtesan and artist, and a little-known Sanskrit work, the Sarva-Deva-Vilasa. I propose that the textual paradoxes and tensions illuminate how the devadasi exercised agency and yet, how her apparent dichotomous nature—embodying the sacred and the sensual—would frequently complicate her representation in the West. The creative component, entitled The Pagoda Tree, is a historical novel set in eighteenth-century south India. Primarily told from the perspective of Maya, a temple dancer, it individualises the personal narrative of a devadasi and intersects her with the larger historical implications of imperial expansion. Informed by the conceptual framework of feminist and revisionist historians, and the recovery scholarship of the devadasi, this approach positions the temple dancer in the fictive space between history, archive and imagination. Together, the two parts of the thesis explore the contradictions and conflicting forces which empower and undermine marginalised figures within colonial discourse, and demonstrate how fiction may assist in their recovery.

Full textAbstract:
High Speed Rail (HSR) plays a significant role in economic urbanization and environmental impacts. India is also debating on the importance and impacts of HSR on climate. HSR is already operational in several countries today and a total of 12 HSR corridors are already planned in India, of which the construction of the Mumbai – Ahmedabad corridor is already underway. Even though there are several studies in literature in the context of various countries related to the impact of HSR on CO2 emissions, however such studies are very limited in Indian context. Keeping in mind that passenger travel is a major human activity contributing to CO2 emissions, the prime objective of this research is to study the impacts of HSR on CO2 emissions in Indian corridors. Hence a study of the Bengaluru – New Delhi corridor is taken. The hypothesis of the study is that introduction of HSR between Bengaluru – New Delhi will reduce CO2 emissions. Revealed Preference and Stated Preference survey was conducted using interview method for the purpose of data collection. Percentage shift of passengers from air travel to HSR was calculated. Thereafter the percentage reduction in CO2 emissions was calculated using emission factors from literature. It was found that there is a percentage reduction in CO2 emissions for all HSR options, and more so for the HSR option with night journey (with speed of 200 kmph) and moderate fare levels equivalent to the Rajdhani Express 2nd AC fares and that of a half day or night journey (with speed of 350 kmph) with fares equivalent to that of the Rajdhani 1st AC fare. The study suggests different possible options to introduce HSR in India that can reduce CO2 emissions from passenger travel and can help the Indian Government with some policy decision support.

Academic research on film tourism has been around since the early 1990s, but the popularity and extensiveness of research in this area has increased in recent years (Hahm, Upchurch & Wang, 2008; Beeton, 2010), with a number of studies examining the increase of visitor numbers to film locations (Beeton, 2005; Busby, Brunt, & Lund, 2003; Cousins & Anderek, 1993; Croy & Walker, 2003; Gundle, 2002; Kim & Richardson, 2003; Riley, Baker, & Van Doren, 1998; Riley & Van Doren, 1992; Schofield, 1996; Tooke & Baker, 1996; Di Cesare et al., 2009). Similarly, the impact of films on people's image formation has been widely acknowledged in the literature (Butler, 1990; Gartner, 1993; Iwashita, 2003). Films are not generally produced with the intent to attract tourists to a destination, but tend to influence viewers indirectly as a background part of the movie's message (Butler, 1990; Hudson & Ritchie, 2006). This is because they can present millions of viewers with substantial information about a destination, create a first-time image, or alter an existing image in a relatively short period of time (Hahm et al., 2008). Thus, this study makes a modest attempt in the direction of identifying the relationship between film tourism and tourist's desire to travel, which is a cross national comparison between India and China.

Tourism plays a pivotal role in socio-economic development. It fosters international understanding, trust among people and brings many social benefits. According to United Nations World Tourism Organization, travel and tourism can be part of the solution to world problems of poverty employment and sustainability. Today, tourism has grown to become a major social and economic force and it is a well-known fact. Hence, it certainly is an activity of global importance and significance. With abundant nature's gift, one of the oldest culture and civilization India as tourist destination is in an envious position to locus itself as one of the best global destination by adopting innovative and holistic tourism policies. Through exploratory and descriptive examination and in depth literature review of policy documents and reports, the aim of this chapter is review critically the tourism policies and intends to suggest new avenues and innovations in tourism.

Full textAbstract:
With the advancement of automobile technology for last mile communication and other mediums of travel, railways and aeroplanes have made travelling a long distance easier and faster. Also, with more stable governments in most countries, the security of goods and returns increased. This created a global scenario of world trade, which we now call globalisation. India has embraced globalisation in a positive manner with an increase in growth rate and lower unemployment and shows opportunity for future growth, but proper central power and coordination between states can affect the growth of the nation. Thus, this study will investigate various factors and aspects of global economy and globalisation and also relate with the Indian economy. The study will also make a comparative literature study of global economy for different countries. As an outcome, the study will suggest some recommendations/strategies for the issues growing with the Indian economy.

Full textAbstract:
Innovations in novelistic form that appear at the end of the Napoleonic Wars do so in the context of a national discussion about colonial emigration, and an uprooting and dispersing of British people on a profound scale, that provoked a reimagining of global space. Poverty, unemployment, and security, both domestically and in the colonies, were concerns about which emigration was proposed as a possible solution. This helps to explain two influential formal innovations made by Walter Scott in Guy Mannering (1815). The first is the invention of a new geographical imaginary. The novel is distinctive for its international backstory that takes place in India outside the main temporal and geographical frames of the novel, as well as a mode of calibrating distance in relation to details of size and scale, and through manipulating levels of readerly attention. The second innovation is its eccentric character, the gypsy, Meg Merrilies, who specifically derives from these spatial concerns. Her character is especially topical as it draws on contemporary beliefs about gypsies, a displaced people thought to have originated in India, but who are also identified with Scottish peasants displaced during the Highland Clearances, and other indigenous displaced people. Through the character of Meg, the novel examines contemporary questions about property, place, and belonging, as well as race and indigeneity. Meg’s persistence in print culture through the next several decades, reimagined in theatrical renditions, poems, print commodities, and travel writings, turns her into a celebrity character, and constituent element of a migratory British culture.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the crystallising of a colonial literary culture in early nineteenth-century British India, and its development over the course of the Victorian period. It focuses on a wide range of texts, including works of historiography, travel writing, correspondence, fiction, and poetry, produced by amateur writers as well as writers who were better known and more professionalised. Its aim is to delineate the parameters and operations of a literary culture that is both local, in that it responds to the material conditions and experiences specific to colonial British India, and transnational, in that it evolves from and in reaction to the metropolitan culture of Britain. The writers I discuss were British, and lived and worked in British India (anglophone writing by Indians falls outside the parameters of this study). They often published their work for limited circulation within the colonial marketplace, but also with an eye to the more extensive readership of ‘home’. While individual authors’ works may be inconsequential or ephemeral, and sometimes apparently derivative of metropolitan texts and genres, the corpus in total constitutes a significant body of literature with its own concerns, themes and formats....

Full textAbstract:
The paper focuses on Carlo Levi’s reportages from India (1957), in order to outline how the peculiar mixture of narrative and essay writing conveys these texts into the genre of Travel literature, as well as to reconsider a work so easily forgotten by field studies. A first recognition on the topic shows how little literature has considered the timeframe of this journey up to recent times: due to the uncertain date marked on the only Indian letter sent by Levi to his wife, critics have agreed to range it between several months and a year. The bias is subsequently taken into account as the prism to approach these texts through: in fact, despite the deliberate attempt at sketching achrony for poetical purposes, micro and macrotextual features – with an emphasis on the descriptions of wintertime – allow to place these texts in time, thus confirming the hybrid features of these proses. Through rhetorical and textual analysis, then, the paper discusses the reportages from a theoretical perspective.

Performance management research in the hospitality industry remains stagnant despite prevalence of multi-dimensional performance metrics. This study, thus, contributes to the hospitality industry and sustainability literature through developing a semi-hierarchical sustainability balanced scorecard scale considering the COVID-19 impact on the hospitality industry. As the Indian travel and tourism industry ranks in the bottom 20%-40% on health and hygiene and environment sustainability, this research study’s setting, India, holds particular importance. Upon analyzing 200 questionnaires and five in-depth interviews from 4- and 5- star hotels in India through three-stage multi-method design of scale development, we proposed a scale of 21 indicators factored into six perspectives. A post hoc analysis added a new health and safety perspective to consider the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the hospitality industry and its endeavor to explore a road to recovery by stressing employee and tourist health and well-being. Implications from the study findings are also discussed

In ASME 2013 Gas Turbine India Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/gtindia2013-3563.
Full textAbstract:
Ceramic thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been used for decades to extend the life of combustors and high temperature turbine stationary and rotating components to increase the operating temperature and in turn the performance of gas turbines or diesel engines can be increased. At present, thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) of Y2O3 partially stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) films are widely used. In recent years ceramic compositions useful in thermal barrier coatings having reduced thermal conductivity are being explored to further increasing the operating temperature of gas turbines and improve the engine efficiency. In the present study, a comparison of the properties of state-of-the art 8wt% yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and lanthana doped YSZ plasma sprayed coatings is presented. Plasma sprayable powders were prepared in the laboratory by a single step precipitation method and characterized. Both the powders had good flowability. These powders were plasma sprayed at identical critical plasma spray parameters. The coatings were characterized for phase, microstructure and thermal conductivity. Both the powders and coatings exhibited tetragonal form of zirconia and no traces of lanthana were observed. Both the coatings exhibited similar porosity levels. Microstructure of the coatings revealed porous coating with good adhesion of the bondcoat with the topcoat. Plasma sprayed 8wt% YSZ and lanthana doped YSZ exhibited thermal conductivity values of 0.88 and 0.67 W m−1 K−1 respectively which is lower than that reported in literature. This study shows that lanthana doping in YSZ helps in lowering the thermal conductivity and hence this coating may be a potential candidate for TBC application.

Obejtivos: Estudiar a través de un caso clínico y de una revisión bibliográfica la relación entre el abuso de sustancias y la presentación de clínica psicótica Métidos: Se expone el caso clínico de un varón de 27 años con abuso de THC de años de evolución y antecedentes de Ingreso en Unidad de Hospitalización con diagnóstico de T. psicótico agudo y tratamiento al alta con Risperidona 3 mg. El paciente acude a ESM por reaparición de síntomatología psicótica (refiere delirio de perjuicio, autorreferencial, interpretaciones delirantes con el móvil, con las cámaras) reconociendo que le aparece cada vez que suspende toma de medicación para retomar el consumo de tóxicos. Se realiza un análisis descriptivo del caso y se investiga la literatura en las bases de datos : Pubmed y Cochrane utilizando las palabras clave “Psicosis” & “abuso de cannabis”, la relación entre el consumo de cannabis y la aparición de clínica psicótica. Resultados: La literatura científica indica que las enfermedades psicóticas surgen con más frecuencia en los consumidores de cannabis, siendo un riesgo dependiente de dosis y con una aparición más temprana en comparación con los no consumidores. Además el consumo se asocia a un aumento de las tasas de recaída, más hospitalizaciones y síntomas positivos pronunciados en pacientes psicóticos. Conclusiones: El caso expuesto corrobora la literatura existente, reflejando el riesgo de sintomatología psicótica inducida por consumo. Es importante mencionar la importancia de un tratamiento que asegure el seguimiento regular de estos pacientes, así como la necesidad de continuar estudiando sobre esta relación.

Full textAbstract:
Over a period of time, a tier of mostly middle-income developing countries has developed a considerable pharmaceutical and vaccine production capacity. However, outcomes have not always been positive for domestic manufacturers in developing countries. Economic and health lessons learned from vaccine manufacturing in developing countries include challenges and positive spill-over effects. Evidence for this rapid review is taken from the south and southeast Asia (India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam), and Latin America (Brazil, Cuba, Mexico). Although data on locally manufactured drugs on the balance of trade was available, this was not readily available for vaccine manufacturing. The evidence used in this review was taken from grey and academic literature, as well as interviews with economic specialists. Although market reports on vaccine production are available for most of these countries, their data is not in the public domain.
