During the period of the Republic, the viniculture of the Pyrenean Peninsula supplied wine for the local needs. When Rome had become Empire, wine production grew to a massive scale, which is attested to by numerous discoveries of amphorae from Spain both in Hispania Tarraconensis and other provinces in the western Mediterranean. In the 1st cent. AD, Spanish wine monopolised the market in the region. Towards the end of the 1st cent. AD, agricultural production in Hispania Tarraconensis was reorganised – vine was replaced with cereal. The early 2nd cent. AD saw discontinuation of business in most centres of ceramic production and disappearance of Roman villas whose main profits came from vineyards.

AbstractObjectivesTo establish the prevalence of hypocalcaemia following laryngectomy and demonstrate that total thyroidectomy is a risk factor.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted that included all patients who underwent total laryngectomy from 1st January 2006 to 1st August 2017. Exclusion criteria were: pre-operative calcium derangement, previous thyroid or parathyroid surgery, concurrent glossectomy, pharyngectomy, or oesophagectomy.ResultsNinety patients were included. Sixteen patients had early hypocalcaemia (18 per cent), seven had protracted hypocalcaemia (8 per cent) and six had permanent hypocalcaemia (10 per cent). Exact logistic regression values for hypocalcaemia following total thyroidectomy compared to other patients were: early hypocalcaemia, odds ratio = 15.5 (95 per cent confidence interval = 2.2–181.9; model p = 0.002); protracted hypocalcaemia, odds ratio = 13.3 (95 per cent confidence interval = 1.5–117.1; model p = 0.01); and permanent hypocalcaemia, odds ratio = 22.7 (95 per cent confidence interval = 1.9–376.5; model p = 0.005).ConclusionThis is the largest study to investigate the prevalence of hypocalcaemia following laryngectomy and the first to include follow up of longer than three months. Total thyroidectomy significantly increased the risk of hypocalcaemia at all time frames and independent of other variables.

In the past 30 years, opioid prescription rates have quadrupled and hospital admissions for overdose are rising. Previous studies have focused on alcohol use and trauma recidivism, however rarely evaluating recidivism and opioid use. We hypothesized there is an association between opioid use and trauma recidivism. This is a retrospective review of patients with multiple admissions for traumatic injury. Demographics, opioid toxicology screen (TS) results, and injury characteristics were collected. Statistical analysis was performed with chi-squared and Poisson regression models. One thousand six hundred forty-nine patients (age ≥18 years) had multiple trauma admissions. Seven hundred nine patients had TS data for both admissions. Thirty-one per cent (218) were TS positive on the 1st admission compared with 34 per cent (244) on their 2nd admission. Fifty-five per cent of patients who were TS positive on the 1st admission were positive on their 2nd admission, whereas 25 per cent who were TS negative on the 1st admission were subsequently positive on their 2nd admission ( P < 0.0001). Patients who were TS positive on the subsequent admission were less severely injured than TS negative patients (Injury Severity Score > 15, 26.3% vs 22.3%, P = 0.04). The only significant risk factor for being TS positive on the 2nd admission was being TS positive on the 1st admission (relative risk = 2.18, P < 0.001). A previous history of opioid use is the strongest predictor of recurrent use in recidivists.

In 2015 during excavations in the Ust’-Al’ma necropolis, a grave with a side-chamber was discovered (No. 1074). The deceased was a male aged 25-35 who had suffered many injuries during his life which could be traces of blows received in battle. The burial complex dates from the mid-1st century ad and belongs to a group of ‘Barbarian’ elite burials complete with gold funeral wreaths and face-coverings (eye- and mouth-covers). Most of these graves are earthen catacombs located along the road leading towards the ancient fortified settlement of Ust’-Al’ma on the western coast of the Crimean peninsula. Assemblages from male burials of this group usually contain weapons (sword, bow, arrows). As a rule, the burial goods are plentiful and rich. Elements of burial attire are often made of precious metals, and are represented by armlets, brooches, pendants, amulets, items from belt-sets and plaques which would have been sewn on to items of apparel. Among other burial goods, there are amphorae, wooden utensils with carved figures of animals and Roman imported bronze and silver ware. Taking into consideration that these burial structures were of a special type, that the graves had been positioned in a special area along the road leading to the settlement, as well as the extraordinary splendor of the grave goods, it can be concluded that they were burials for individuals belonging to the highest ranks of the social elite. The use of an unusual type of burial structure (a grave with a side-chamber) and the relatively small number of grave goods, which were nevertheless signs of high social rank (a funeral wreath, face-coverings, a sword), indicate the special status of the individual buried in Grave No. 1074.

The study was undertaken to assess the implications of perceived family well being on self, family and society by nuclear urban families belonging to expanding stage of family life cycle. The study was based upon the sample of 100 nuclear families (100 husbands and 100 wives) belonging to middle socio-economic status, selected purposively from Udaipur city. Data was collected through an implications proforma developed by an investigator. Dimensions wise implications of perceived family well being by nuclear families shows that the majority (90%) of the husbands gave 2nd ranking to family followed by 75 per cent who gave 1st rank to self and 54 per cent gave 3rd ranking to society. Whereas, ranking by wife’s data reveals that the majority (83%) of the wives gave 2nd rank to self followed by 72 per cent who gave 1st rank to family and 52 per cent gave 3rd ranking to society.

The development of amphora production in Colchis is examined, from its beginnings in the mid-4th cent. BC under the influence of vessels from Sinope. The emergence of amphora production should be seen as the result of Hellenic influence upon the economy and upon craftsmen of the E littoral of the Black Sea. Throughout the Classical period one type of Colchian amphora existed, which underwent drastic change in the course of time. Three successive variants may be discerned. The earliest, from the mid-4th to 3rd cent. BC, retains similarities with the Sinopean prototypes. In the late 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, substantial changes in morphology and dimensions take place. In the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD the third variant, with a rib under the rim, appears. Petrographic analysis shows that the vessels were made within one extensive region, Colchis, but at a variety of centres. They were produced in state-owned and private workshops, employing both Greek and local craftsmen. The Greek workshops (or those which had links with Greek potters) were the main exporters of amphorae to the northern Black Sea coastal region from the 4th cent, BC to 1st cent. AD.

AbstractIdiopathic subjective tinnitus (1ST) is one of the most obscure otological pathologies. This paper presents the results of treating 1ST by intratympanic instillation of lignocaine (lidocaine) 2 per cent through a grommet, for five weekly courses. Fifty-two patients suffering from intractable tinnitus entered this therapeutic trial, but only nine finished all five courses. In one patient, the tinnitus was almost completely abolished, but in all the nine patients the decompensated tinnitus changed to a compensated one. We suggest this mode of treatment for patients that were previously treated by drugs, acupuncture and biofeedback, with disappointing results.Patients should be warned about the side effects of vertigo and vomiting, which subsides gradually with every new instillation, and that the tinnitus may not disappear but will be alleviated, enabling them to cope more easily with the disease and lead a more normal life.

Abstract Many diaspora communities identify not only with a distant homeland but also with others distant from the homeland. How exactly do these intercommunal connections take place and contribute toward a shared identity? What specific aspects of diasporan identity are created or strengthened? What practices are involved? This study will begin to answer these questions through investigating two practices which were widespread among diaspora Jewish communities during the last two centuries of the Second Temple period (1st cent. B.C.E.–1st cent. C.E.). First, we will show how sending offerings and making pilgrimages to the Jerusalem temple from these communities enabled regular intercommunal contact. Then, we will suggest some ways in which these voluntary practices reinforced a cohesive Jewish identity and the importance of the homeland, especially the city of Jerusalem and the temple, for many diaspora Jews, whether they lived in Alexandria, Rome, Asia Minor, or Babylonia.

The purpose of this investigation was to establish the incidence of clinical otoscierosis and auditory exostoses in Lithuanian paleopopulations. The total sample consists of 4080 skulls, dating from the Neolithic to the C 17th—C 18th a.d., investigated visually, under magnification and radiologically. Eight cases of clinical otosclerosis and 22 of auditory exostoses were identified. The general epidemiology of otosclerosis (0.19 ± 0.08 per cent) was established to be similar to contemporary populations. This suggests that there are no new aetiological factors attributable to our modern society. Clear diminution of the incidence of auditory exostoses from the 1st to the 2nd millenium A.D. (3.46 ± 0.76 per cent, against 0.06 ± 0.04 per cent, p <0.001) and definite sexual differences (males: 1.21 ± 0.28 per cent; females: 0.17 ± 0.10 per cent, p<0.001) were also noted. In general, auditory exostoses were found much more frequently than in recent populations.

AbstractBackgroundBlunt neck trauma can cause serious morbidity and mortality rates of up to 40 per cent, but there is a paucity of literature on the topic.MethodA retrospective case note review was performed for all blunt neck trauma cases managed at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham between 1st January 2011 and 31st December 2017.ResultsSeventeen cases were managed, with no mortality and limited morbidity. Most patients were male (70.6 per cent) and road traffic accidents were the most common cause of injury (41.2 per cent). The median age of patients was 40.6 years (range, 21.5–70.3 years). Multidetector computed tomography angiography of the neck was performed in 9 patients (52.9 per cent) with ‘hot’ reports made by on-duty radiology staff matching consultant reports in all but 1 case. Six patients underwent operative exploration yielding a negative exploration rate of 33.3 per cent. Imaging reports matched operative findings in 3 cases (60 per cent).ConclusionBlunt neck trauma is uncommon but usually presents in polytrauma. Imaging has inaccuracies when compared with operative findings, regardless of radiological experience.

The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the period of Petra’s passage from paganism to Christianity, which saw the deterioration of pagan beliefs and the struggle for survival between paganism and Christianity. The recognition of Christianity as the official religion of the Byzantine Empire in 313 AD did not mean that paganism had disappeared from Petra. In fact, most of the Nabataean temples in the city remained open until the second half of the 4th century AD, when the city was hit by the earthquake of 363. It was this event that had the greatest impact on the abandoning of the city’s temples, such as the Temple of the Winged Lions, the Temple of Qasr el-Bent and the Great Temple. The historical and archaeological evidence confirms the construction of a numer of churches in Petra, which received considerable attention from the Christian clergy and the administration of the city during the 5th and 6th centuries AD.

In Greece, Autolycos (4th cent. B.C.), Aristarchos of Samos (3rd cent.B.C.), Hipparchos (2nd cent.B.C.), Menelaos (1st cent. A.D.), and Ptolemaos (2nd cent. A.D.) are the forerunners of trigonometry. The Greeks used chords and prepared a table of chords.Later, the Hindus produced Siddhāntas (4th cent.A.D.). The most important feature of these works is the use of jyā instead of chords, and utkramajyā (versed sine).In Islam, al-Battānī al-Ṣābī (858-929) used the sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent with clear consciousness of their individual characteristics.As is known, trigonometry developed as a branch of astronomy. Although in the thirteenth century Naṣīr al-Dīn al-Ṭūsī (in the Islamic world) and in the fifteenth century Regiomontanus (in the West) established trigonometry as a science independent of astronomy, the essential situation did not change, and the subject went on developing as before.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the incidence of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in patients with an isolated cervical cystic mass, and to describe the clinical features that might predict the origin of cystic tumours.MethodAdult patients with isolated lateral cervical cystic masses who were scheduled for surgery from 1st January 2010 to 31st August 2016 in two tertiary care referral centres in Slovakia were analysed retrospectively.ResultsThe incidence of cystic metastases in the whole cohort and in patients aged over 40 years were 9.9 per cent and 18.5 per cent, respectively. The incidence in patients aged over 40 years (18.5 per cent) was statistically significant (p = 0.003).ConclusionThe incidence of cystic squamous cell carcinoma metastases in lateral cervical cysts in patients aged over 40 years is high enough to call for excisional biopsy with frozen section, panendoscopy with direct biopsies, tonsillectomy and even neck dissection in cases of histologically confirmed carcinoma.

Field experiments were carried out during rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at the Research Farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Wheat variety PBW 621 was sown on three dates (D1: 4th week of October, D2: 2nd week of November and D3: 4th week of November) with two irrigation levels (I1: IW/ CPE = 0.9, I2: At CRI, 5-6 weeks after 1st irrigation, 3-4/5-6 weeks after 2nd irrigation, 2/4 weeks after 3rd irrigation as per dates of sowing) and mulch application (M1: without mulch, M2: straw mulch @ 5 t ha-1). Earlier sown mulch applied crop with four post-sowing irrigations produced highest (5312.5 kg ha-1) and late sown without mulch application crop with irrigation @IW/CPE = 0.9 produced lowest grain yield (3900.5 kg ha-1). Simulation results depicted -1.1 to 16.8 per cent deviation in crop yield, -1.4 to -21.0 per cent in water use and 12.7 to 45.5 per cent in water productivity. Increase in temperature from 1oC to 3oC decreased wheat yield by 6.3 to 27.0 per cent under D1 and 3.3 to 17.6 per cent under D2, however, it increased from 8.1 to 16.2 per cent under D3, indicating D3 as most appropriate under future warming scenarios. Increase in CO2 concentration decreased water use and increased yield and water productivity.

The results of the archaeological exploration of the Roman vicus of Falacrinae, placed in the Upper Sabina 78 miles north-east of Rome, represent excellent first-hand material for testing the concept of “rurification” of religion. The frequentation of the area goes back over time at least to the late Neolithic, but it is only in the Archaic period that a temple was built, soon converting itself into a sort of pole of attraction of the local community. After the Roman conquest (290 BCE), an entire village gradually arose around the monument. 129 sacrificial foci, dated between the late 3rd and the second half of the 1st cent. BCE (probably linked with the festivals of the Feriae Sementivae, Paganalia or Compitalia), and few burials (suggrundaria) belonging to perinatal foetuses of 30/40 weeks of gestation, dated during the 2nd and the first half of the 1st cent. BCE, are the most intriguing ritual practices that the excavations have been able to identify. The analysis of these practices encourages to conclude that the local rural communities: 1) adopted group-styles of religious grouping significantly different from those taking place in urban contexts; 2) could strongly modify hierarchies and rituals performed in the cities; 3) cannot necessarily be considered as “deviant” from the normative point of view; 4) could easily negotiate between local religious traditions and urban patterns.

A field experiment was conducted at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru College of Agriculture and Research Institute, Karaikal to identify a suitable sowing window along with efficient seed hardening and clipping practices in sesame during summer season of 2021 for Karaikal region. The experiment was laid out under Factorial concept of Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with twelve treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted of three factors viz., date of sowing [15th February (D1), 22nd February (D2), 1st March (D3)], seed hardening [without seed hardening (S1) and seed hardening with two per cent moringa leaf extract (S2)] and clipping practices [without clipping (C1) and with clipping (C2)]. The earlier sowing on 15th February along with two per cent MLE seed hardening followed by clipping practices recorded higher growth parameters (plant height, leaf area index, dry matter production, number of branches plant-1) and yield parameters (number of capsules plant-1, number of seeds capsule-1, capsule weight, seed weight plant-1, test weight, seed yield [726 kg ha-1] and stover yield). However, the growth and yield parameters reduced with delayed sowings (22nd February, 1st March). The correlation between weather parameters and seed yield revealed that the total bright sunshine hours, mean morning relative humidity, mean evening relative humidity and HUE during the total life span had a significant positive relationship with the seed yield, whereas the regression studies denoted that the seed yield was positively influenced by mean evening relative humidity, GDD and PTU. Therefore, sowing TMV-7 sesame variety on 15th February along with two per cent MLE seed hardening followed by clipping practices could be appropriate for maximizing yield and monetary returns from summer sesame under irrigated conditions in Karaikal region.

The article presents an overview of the complex of pottery originating from the basement (CK2) from the settlement Zavetnoe 5 at the Eastern Crimea (fig. 1–2). The chronological boundaries of a series of transport amphorae fit within the interval from the 70s to the 2nd quarter of the 3rd cent. BC. (fig. 3–7). By the same period are dated groups of table uncovered (fig. 9–11), kitchen (fig. 12) and hand-made pottery (fig. 13). There are no specimens of the III cent. BC among the black glaze vessels from the complex (fig. 8). Such vessels were used in everyday life longer than other groups of pottery. The «delay» of the black-glaze pottery in this case, is not less than a quarter of a century. The exception in this case is only the lamps whose dating coincides with the group of transport amphorae (fig. 14). The obtained data are consistent with the stratigraphy of the complex, indicating that the filling of the basement, connected with the construction of one of the premises of the Hellenistic manor, was made in the 1st half of the 3rd cent. BC.

Field experiments were carried out at IARI research farm, New Delhi representing semi-arid climatic condition, to evaluate the growth and yield of oilseed Brassica using thermal indices. Two cultivars of Brassica juncea viz., Pusa Jaikisan and Varuna, widely grown in north and north-western parts of the country, were sown on ten different dates from 1st October to 3rd December at weekly interval. Three widely used thermal indices viz, growing degree days (GDD), heliothermal units (HTU) and photothermal units (PTU) were computed up to maximum biomass production in both the seasons. It was observed that GDD was able to explain variation in biomass, seed yield and oil content to the tune of 75, 66 and 78 per cent while PTU could explain 73, 66 and 77 per cent variations respectively. The yields and oil content of these two cultivars were highly influenced by the differential thermal environment and delay of sowing; decreased seed yield and oil content significantly.

An investigation was carried out to determine the exact maturity stage in Santalum album. The results revealed that the moisture content and specific gravity decreased with the advancement of maturity. At maturity, moisture content and specific gravity came down from 50.29 to 35.79 per cent and 1.11 to 1.09, respectively during Season I. Whereas, in Season II, the fall in the respective values was from 55.88 to 34.28 per cent and 1.07 to 1.03, respectively. At this stage the colour of the fruits was red and grayish purple. Among the different collection dates, 4th week of April (Season I) and 1st week of November (Season II) were found best as they gave the maximum germination percentage and germination value during Season I (55.44% and 12.13%, respectively) and Season II (64.00% and 12.17%, respectively). Fruits/ seeds collected from trees having 10-15 cm diameter gave excellent germination than other trees with 5-10 cm and >15 cm diameter.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to examine the effect of interventional measures on admitted children and, second, to estimate the level of utilization of nutrition rehabilitation centres (NRCs) through bed occupancy rate in India. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional study involving review of records of malnourished children admitted during 1st January to 31st December 2014 in four districts of Northern Karnataka, India. The data were collected during January 2015. Findings A statistically significant difference was obtained between the weight of children at admission and discharge (p < 0.001). The average weight gain during the stay at the centres was 6.1 ± 7.1 g/kg/day. The proportion of severely malnourished children decreased from 56 per cent at admission to 32 per cent at discharge. The children who stayed for a stipulated period of 14 days were fully recovered and discharged from the centre compared to those stayed for lesser period. Poor follow-up visits of discharged children are observed, and the average bed occupancy rate was only 40 per cent. Originality/value This study showed that, the NRCs were effective in improving the condition of admitted children, but the utilization of these NRCs was sub-optimal in Karnataka. This study pointed to a number of operational issues that need to be addressed if these NRCs are being used effectively.

AbstractFounded in 1892 and now containing ca. 11,000 pieces, the Yalta museum draws on pre-Revolutionary private collections, especially of Classical objects obtained locally and abroad, as well as on objects associated with the Mountain and Southern regions of the Crimea, acquired more systematically as a result of archaeological excavations and chance finds in the region. The most important pre-Revolutionary collection, that of Grand Prince Alexander Mikhajlovich, still contains-despite the destruction of WW II-more than 50 amphoras and 500 other ceramic pieces, especially of Archaic Corinthian and Samian ware. The museum houses many finds from pre-War excavations, e.g. from the Balim-Kosh site (ca. 20,000 Neolithic artefacts) and from the Roman legionary fortress at Charax. The creation after WW II of an Archaeological Department of the Museum has led to a 5-fold increase in the size of its collection. This now includes finds from late classical and early medieval burial grounds (Aj-Todor, Alushta, Druzhnoe, Verkhynaya Oreandal, the Gothic necropolis near Goluboj Zaliv, and the Mesolithic complex of Cape of Trinity I. The most important addition has been of more than 5000 objects from the sanctuary excavated in the past decade at the pass of Gurzufskoe Sedlo, which was in use from the Stone Age to the late Middle Ages. Its heyday was 1st cent. B.C.-1st cent. A.D. and from this period date the overwhelming majority of finds of bronze and silver statuettes, glass, metal instruments, ceramics, arms and coins. Such material provides a rare insight into all of the main phases of Crimean history and coins and other objects from the site have formed the subject of a recent exhibition in the museum.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the results of routine endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy combined with computed tomography guided navigation in patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction.MethodThis was a retrospective study of all patients with lacrimal drainage obstruction undergoing stereotactic endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy between 1st January 2016 and 1st April 2018. Computed tomography dacryocystography was used for intra-operative navigation. Patients with a presaccal obstruction site location were excluded from the study.ResultsEndoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with computed tomography guided navigation was successfully performed in all 17 cases without complications. Early post-operative dislocation of the inserted bicanalicular silicone stent occurred in two patients. Two other patients developed post-operative bacterial infection within the lacrimal sac. Otherwise, the silicone tube was removed three months after surgery, and after further follow up of 8 weeks, 94 per cent of the study population reported complete remission of epiphora.ConclusionThe use of computed tomography guidance in routine endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy enhanced safety for the patient and avoided unnecessary damage of bone and mucosa surrounding the lacrimal drainage system. Therefore, routine endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with additional stereotactic guidance by computed tomography navigation can contribute to high success rates with endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy.

Recent observations suggest that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) co-occurs in people with a functional neurological disorder (FND), but little systematic data are available on the relationship between FND and autism. The study aimed to assess the self-reported autistic traits via a standardized questionnaire and the prevalence of previously diagnosed ASD among people with FND and their 1st-degree relatives. We performed a survey of members of the patient organization FNDHope, using a self-completed questionnaire for screening for autistic traits and ASD: the adult autism subthreshold spectrum (AdAS spectrum). There were 344 respondents diagnosed with FND with a mean age of 39.8 ± 11.6 years (female sex 90%). Eight per cent of respondents volunteered a previous diagnosis of ASD, and 24% reported a 1st-degree relative with a formal diagnosis of ASD, mostly their children. We found that 69% of respondents had scores in the AdAS spectrum indicating a clinically significant ASD and 21% indicating autistic traits. Further studies are needed to provide more evidence regarding the prevalence of ASD in people with FND and how this may influence the aetiology, treatment selection and prognosis.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate a proficiency for accomplishing optimal CFO and keep down the error among the received and transmitted signal. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is considered as an attractive modulation scheme that could be adopted in wireless communication systems owing to its reliability in opposition to multipath interruptions under different subchannels. Carrier frequency offset (CFO) establishes inter-carrier interference that devastates the orthogonality between the subcarriers and fluctuates the preferred signal and minimizes the effectual signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This results in corrupted system performance. For sustaining the subcarriers’ orthogonality, timing errors and CFOs have to be approximated and sufficiently compensated for. Single carrier modulation (SCM) is a major feature for efficient OFDM system. Design/methodology/approach This paper introduces a novel superposition coded modulation-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (SCM-OFDM) system with optimal CFO estimation using advanced optimization algorithm. The effectiveness of SCM-OFDM is validated by correlating the transmitted and received signal. Hence, the primary objective of the current research work is to reduce the error among the transmitted and received signal. The received signal involves CFO, which has to be tuned properly to get the signal as closest as possible with transmitted signal. The optimization or tuning of CFO is done by improved grey wolf optimization (GWO) called GWO with self-adaptiveness (GWO-SA). Further, it carries the performance comparison of proposed model with state-of-the-art models with the analysis on bit error rate (BER) and mean square error (MSE), thus validating the system’s performance. Findings From the analysis, BER of the proposed and conventional schemes for CFO at 0.25 was determined, where the adopted scheme at 10th SNR was 99.6 per cent better than maximum likelihood, 99.6 per cent better than least mean square (LMS), 99.3 per cent better than particle swarm optimization (PSO), 75 per cent better than genetic algorithm (GA) and 25 per cent better than GWO algorithms. Moreover, MSE at 1st SNR, the proposed GWO-SA scheme, is 4.62 per cent better than LMS, 60.1 per cent better than PSO, 37.82 better than GA and 67.85 per cent better than GWO algorithms. Hence, it is confirmed that the performance of SCM-OFDM system with GWO-SA-based CFO estimation outperformed the state-of-the-art techniques. Originality/value This paper presents a technique for attaining optimal CFO and to minimize the error among the received and transmitted signal. This is the first work that uses GWO-SA for attaining optimal CFO.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper was to study the genetic variability, heritability, heat tolerance indices and phenotypic and genotypic correlation studies for traits of 250 elite International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) bread wheat genotypes under high temperature in Wad Medani, Center in Sudan.Design/methodology/approachBread wheat is an important food on a global level and is used in the form of different products. High temperature associated with climate change is considered to be a detrimental stress in the future on world wheat production. A total of 10,250 bread wheat genotypes selected from different advanced yield trials introduction from ICARDA and three checks including were grown in two sowing dates (SODs) (1st and 2nd) 1st SOD heat stress and 2nd SOD non-stress at the Gezira Research Farm, of the Agricultural Research Corporation, Wad Medani, Sudan.FindingsAn alpha lattice design with two replications was used to assess the presence of phenotypic and genotypic variations of different traits, indices for heat stress and heat tolerance for 20 top genotypes and phenotypic and genotypic correlations. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotypes for all the characters. A wide range, 944-4,016 kg/ha in the first SOD and 1,192-5,120 kg/ha in the second SOD, was found in grain yield. The average yield on the first SOD is less than that of the secondnd SOD by 717.7 kg/ha, as the maximum and minimum temperatures were reduced by 3ºC each in the second SOD when compared to the first SOD of the critical stage of crop growth shown.Research limitations/implicationsSimilar wide ranges were found in all morpho-physiological traits studied. High heritability in a broad sense was estimated for days to heading and maturity. Moderate heritability estimates found for grain yield ranged from 44 to 63.6 per cent, biomass ranged from 37.8 to 49.1 per cent and canopy temperature (CT) after heading ranged from 44.2 to 48 per cent for the first and secondnd SODs. The top 20 genotypes are better than the better check in the two sowing dates and seven genotypes (248, 139, 143, 27, 67, 192 and 152) were produced high grain yield under both 1st SOD and 2nd SOD.Practical implicationsThe same genotypes in addition to Imam (check) showed smaller tolerance (TOL) values, indicating that these genotypes had a smaller yield reduction under heat-stressed conditions and that they showed a higher heat stress susceptibility index (SSI). A smaller TOL and a higher SSI are favored. Both phenotypic and genotypic correlations of grain yield were positively and significantly correlated with biomass, harvest index, number of spikes/m2, number of seeds/spike and days to heading and maturity in both SODs and negatively and significantly correlated with canopy temperature before and after heading in both SODs.Originality/valueGenetic variations, heritability, heat tolerance indices and correlation studies for traits of bread wheat genotypes under high temperature

Thebes, located in Boeotia in central Greece, is archaeologically and historically attested to have been an important centre ever since the Early Bronze Age. Regularly sustained glass working, testified by numerous finds in burial and settlement contexts, must have taken place since the Mycenaean times. In the current study, 35 samples of glass beads (30) and vessels (5), dating roughly from the 7th to 1st cent. BCE (Archaic to the Hellenistic/Early Roman era) are the subject of research. The aim was to assess some technological aspects of the assemblage, provide a chemical fingerprint for it and suggest a likely provenance, in an attempt to discuss issues of glass consumption and trade at a given era and culture. A combination of quasi-destructive techniques was applied, namely LA-ICP-MS and SEM-EDS for the identification of the major, minor and trace element composition. The results have provided evidence for different technological choices, reflected in the choice of raw materials and different origins are suggested for the subgroups identified in the course of the study.

Investigation on the larvicidal potential of Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton rhizome extracts against filarial vector, Culex quinquefasciatus Say, was undertaken with crude concentrations 0.1-0.5 per cent and 40, 50, and 60 ppm of each of petroleum ether, hexane and ethyl acetate rhizome extracts revealed that first instar larvae were most susceptible to crude rhizome extract with 100 per cent mortality at 0.5% after 24 hrs of exposure. Among three solvent extracts, ethyl acetate extract showed maximum mortality (96.66±3.33%) at 60 ppm after 72 hrs of exposure. LC50 values of larvicidal bioassays by crude rhizome extract were 0.1002, 0.0794, 0.1275 and 0.6334 ppm for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th instars larvae after 72 hrs of exposure, respectively and LC50 values for larvicidal bioassays by petroleum ether, hexane, and ethyl acetate rhizome extracts were 48.3629, 40.9613 and 37.0282 ppm against 3rd instar larvae after 72 hrs of exposure, respectively. Preliminary phytochemical analyses of the rhizome extracts showed presence of secondary metabolites. Non target organisms, tadpoles of frog and 4th instar larvae of Chironomus circumdatus, were not affected by the crude as well as ethyl acetate rhizome extracts. Larvicidal efficacy of the rhizome extracts of E. Cardamomum against Cx. quinquefasciatus mosquito species has been reported first time.

The present experiment was a study on the relationship of Body Condition Score with milk yield, fat and solids-not-fat percent in murrah graded buffaloes under field conditions. In this murrah graded buffaloes from different commercial farms of Guntur and Krishna districts were selected. Total of 150 murrah graded buffaloes of different parities (1st to 6th parities) were selected. Various parameters like BCS, related to average milk yield, fat per cent, SNF per cent was taken into consideration for the present study and a correlated study of BCS and the milk yield was studied. The selected animals were divided into four groups based on BCS as 2.5-2.99, 3.0-3.49, 3.5-3.99, 4.0-4.49. The mean BCS values of 2.5-2.99, 3.0-3.49, 3.5-3.99, 4.0-4.49 were 2.62, 3.25, 3.56 and 4.25 respectively. Highest milk yield was recorded in second month of lactation and lowest in first month of lactation with 9.445±0.15 and 6.18±0.08 kg per day, respectively. The buffaloes with BCS 4.0-4.49 yielded higher milk yield when compared to other groups. Highest fat and SNF percent was observed in the animals with BCS 4.0-4.49 when compared with others. The BCS had showed high positive correlation with SNF (0.44) and milk yield (0.41).

The study was carried out to compare various two-parameter probability distributions for identifying the most appropriate distribution to describe the weekly rainfall data of Standard Meteorological Week (SMW) from 22 to 42 weeks in Shivalik region of India. The ‘‘best’’ distribution among different data sets has been identiûed using Anderson–Darling (AD) test for goodness-of-ût. Single probability distribution, which can represent all the data sets, was not found among the distributions studied. Weibull distribution was best fit in about nine SMW, followed by Gamma distribution showing best fit in seven weeks out of the 21 weeks studied. Comparing total rainfall at different probability level with average rainfall, it was found that minimum assured rainfall with 50, 40 and 30 per cent probability is 21.35 % lesser, 0.04 % higher and 37.25 % higher, respectively than average rainfall. Thus minimum assured weekly rainfall at 40% probability level is a better representative of long-term average weekly rainfall data of the region. Appropriate time for maize sowing should be between 25th June to 1st July as minimum assured rainfall of more than 25 mm is available with 70 per cent probability. It was found that only short to medium duration maize varieties are suitable taking into account the rainfall pattern and duration in the region.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Climate change induced extreme weather events such as drought and flood condition are likely to become more common and associated impacts on crop production will be more without proper irrigation planning. The present investigation was undertaken for assessing the impact of Climate change on tomato yield and water use efficiency (WUE) using AquaCrop model and RegCM 4.4 simulations. The water driven AquaCrop model was validated based on observation of field experiment conducted with four different dates of sowing (1st November, 15th November, 1st December, 15th December) at Ponnaniyar basin, Tiruchirappalli. Validation of AquaCrop model indicated the capability of AquaCrop in predicting tomato yield, biomass and WUE close to the observed data. Seasonal maximum and minimum temperatures over Tiruchirappalli are projected to increase in the mid-century under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Maximum temperature is expected to increase up to 1.7&thinsp;&deg;C/2.5&thinsp;&deg;C in SWM and 1.9&thinsp;&deg;C/2.9&thinsp;&deg;C in NEM by the mid of century as projected through stabilization (RCP 4.5) and overshoot emission (RCP 8.5) pathways. Minimum temperature is expected to increase up to 1.6&thinsp;&deg;C/2.2&thinsp;&deg;C in SWM and 1.6&thinsp;&deg;C/2.1&thinsp;&deg;C in NEM by the mid of century as projected through stabilization (RCP 4.5) and overshoot emission (RCP 8.5) pathways. Seasonal rainfall over Tiruchirappalli is expected to decrease with RCP4.5 and RCP8.5scenarios with different magnitude. Rainfall is expected to change to the tune of &minus;1/&minus;11 per cent in SWM and &minus;2/&minus;14 per cent in NEM by the mid of century as projected through stabilization (RCP 4.5) and overshoot emission (RCP 8.5) pathways.</p>

PurposeRecent public health initiatives have promoted accumulating 10,000 steps per day. Little previous research has evaluated the using pedometer in sustaining the physical activity level during worksite intervention. Hence, this study aims to the step changes of pedometer in a multicomponent worksite intervention.Design/methodology/approachThis trial enrolled 43 participants recruited from brochures at outpatient clinic. Throughout the 12-week multidisciplinary lifestyle program, participant required to wear a pedometer and reported daily step count at baseline, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th week. The primary outcome measure was the step goal over the 12th week of intervention.FindingsAll subjects regardless men and women prior enter into the intervention recorded less than 5,000 of average steps count per day which is sedentary. At the 12th week of intervention, there were only 9.3 per cent subjects are sedentary. Majority of subjects (55.8 per cent) had achieved at least somewhat active, followed by low active (23.3 per cent). There were only 11.6 per cent subjects are classified as highly active at the end of the intervention. The result indicated the changes of average steps per day from baseline to 2nd (p< 0.01), 4th (p< 0.01), 6th (p< 0.01), 8th (p< 0.01), 10th (p< 0.01) and 12th (p< 0.01) week were significant. Likewise, the changes of average steps per day from previous time were significant at 4th (p< 0.01) week and 10th (p< 0.001) week.Research limitations/implicationsThis study did not associate the improvement health parameter and step counter as the core stone of this study intervention were extensive individual dietary regime and reinforcement of ZUMBA participation among participants through motivational interviewing counseling. Third, there was no control group in this study, where no pedometer and goal setting were provided to the control group in the previous reported effectiveness study (Jian Pei et al., 2017).Originality/valueThe step goal during a multicomponent worksite intervention in primary health-care setting has not been clearly defined. Besides, there are no clear data of generally daily step among primary health-care employees.

CERES (Crop Environment Resource Synthesis)-wheat model (DSSAT v 3.5-Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) was calibrated and validated for wheat cv. GW-496 at Anand using experimental data collected under different management practices (Date of sowing x Irrigation) during 1995-2007. Results showed that optimum sowing date (D2–15th Nov.) validation was found better as compared to early (D1–1st Nov.) and late (D3–30th Nov.) sowings. The validation of model for different irrigation regimes showed that the performance of model was poor in treatment having less irrigation (I1 and I2). The model performance was found good and satisfactory in treatments having 6-7 irrigations (I3 and I4). On an average, the performance of model for I4 treatment was found good. This showed that model worked better under optimum sowing with optimum irrigation. The various test criteria for evaluation of model showed that highest correlation was observed in D2I3 treatment. The lowest MAE was observed in D3I3 treatment. Similarly, lowest MBE (12.77), lowest RMSE (46.04) and highest index of agreement (1.0) were observed in D1I4 treatment. The error per cent by CERES-wheat model showed that in majority of the cases the models had underestimated wheat yield. Per cent error ranged between -0.020 to -56.02. The average per cent error was found lowest in D1I4, D2I4 and D3I3 irrigation treatments as compared to other treatments. This showed that the model worked good in all model test criteria. In a nutshell, the validation results showed that the model worked better under optimum sowing with optimum irrigation as compared to early/late sowing and moisture stress conditions.

The Maeotian swords and daggers of mentioned group are divided into three types: 1 – swords and daggers with a rain-guard; 2 – swords and daggers without a rain-guard, the blade and the hilt make an obtuse angle; 3 – swords and daggers without rain-guards, the blade and the hilt make a right angle. Metal tangs of hilts differ by shape and size; thus they are divided into two variants: “a” – rectangular or triangular; “b” – a long pin. The swords of the “a” variant had wooden overlays on the handles, sometimes fastened with rivets or winding, and the handles of the “b” variant swords were mounted on a tang. Chronological dating of the burials indicates that bladed weapon of this type appears among the Maeotians of the Kuban right bank in the beginning of the 1st cent. AD and remains there until the middle of the 3rd cent. AD. And the main time of its use is the 1–2 cent. A.D. Swords and daggers of all types from Maeotian assemblages have existed at the same time, just like ones from the Sarmatian burials of the Lower Volga region. But, unlike the Sarmatian sites with no predominance of any particular sword type, the Maeotians show clear advantage of type 2 blades.

A degree day model was developed to predict the occurrence of Aphis craccivorain Lucerne using 3 years (2007-2009) data and validated with two years (2013-2014) data collected at research farm of ICAR-IGFRI Jhansi.The study indicated that the peak population of the aphid species can be predicted using heat accumulation starting with December 1st. Mean degree day (DD) required for aphids incidence was estimated to be 76 ± 4 degree days in lucerne fields. The peak aphids population was found at 199 accumulated degree days. The polynomial model fitted explains 72 per cent of the variability in lucerne aphids population. The model performance indicators viz mean absolute deviation, standard error, etc were within the acceptable range and the predictive capability of the model was fairly close to the observed values.

Two varieties of pigeon pea viz., BC (local) and ICPL 88039 were grown on the sandy loam soils of AICRPDA research farm of B. N. College of Agriculture, AAU in two consecutive kharif seasons of 2012-13 to 2013-14. Both the cultivars were sown on three different dates at ten days interval starting from 3rd June to 23rd June. GDD accumulation for attaining different phenological events viz., emergence, initiation of 1st flower bud and flower appearance, 50 per cent flowering, 1st pod formation, 1st seed formation and physiological maturity were worked out. The cumulative GDD accumulations up to physiological maturity were relatively higher in BC (local) which varied from 3395.6 to 3593.5 °C day, whereas, in ICPL 88039, it varied from 2945.0 to 3296.7 °C day in different sowings and seasons. A decreasing trend in accumulated GDD for attaining any Phenological event was observed with successive delay in sowings in both the cultivars in the two seasons. In both the crop seasons, Pheno-Thermal Index (PTI) varied from 16.67 to 18.18 °C day growth day-1, in BC (local) and 18.31 to 19.11 °C day growthday-1 in ICPL 88039 during the vegetative growth period under all the sowing dates while, in the reproductive growth stage, it was comparatively lower and ranged from 7.96 to 8.23 °C day growthday-1 in BC (local) and 10.28 to 11.87 °C day growthday-1 in ICPL 88039. Seed yield heat use efficiency (HUE) in BC (local) varied from 0.207 to 0.296 kg ha-1 °Cday-1, whereas, in ICPL 88039 it varied from 0.201 to 0.312 kg ha-1°Cday-1 under different sowing dates in both crop seasons. Seed yield heat use efficiency was relatively higher in 2013-14 followed by 2012-13 in both the cultivars which indicated the significant differences in using the heat, available to the plants.

In my role as programme leader of the BA (Hons) Criminal Justice and Criminology, I observed that students who entered with A-levels were more likely to achieve a 2:1 or 1st class degree than students from other routes of entry. Analysis of five cohorts showed that less than half of entrants with Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) qualification achieved a 2:1 classification, compared to over 90 per cent of A-level students. In the interests of equity, this phenomenon deserved further investigation. I set out to identify issues in the transition to higher education that may cause BTEC students to struggle to adapt to academic study and any skills deficits that may ultimately lead to underachievement. As a result of the study, a toolkit was devised to smooth the transition, raise aspiration, enhance self-esteem and improve outcomes.

Aim. To evaluate the effects of maternal pre-pregnancy body weight and excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) on the risk of different subtypes of preeclampsia (PE).Methods. A cohort study of 289 pregnant women: 41 with early-onset (less than 34 weeks) preeclampsia (EPE), 76 with late-onset (more than 34 weeks) preeclampsia (LPE) and 172 normotensive women (control). Associations between anthropometric indicators (pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, fat mass in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd trimesters, on the 2–3rd day after birth) and risk of PE and its subtypes were evaluated.Results. Pre-pregnancy body weight (r = 0.36; р = 0.000) and BMI (r = 0.38; р = 0.000) moderately increased risk of PE. GWG had independent risk of developing PE (r = 0.46; р = 0.000). Women with excessive GWG had an increased risk of PE in normal BMI (RR = 2.2; р = 0.019), in overweigh (RR = 2.7; р = 0.028), in obese (ОР = 5.2; р = 0.000). The risk of developing preeclampsia increased in normal weight with GWG more than 500 g per week in the 2nd trimester (р = 0.000) and more than 400 g per week in the 3d trimester (р = 0.000), total GWG more than 16.5 kg increased risk of preeclampsia in 3.4-fold (ОР = 3.4; р = 0.001). Overweight and obesity had an increased risk of late-onset preeclampsia (RR = 4.9; р = 0.000). No association was found for early-onset preeclampsia (p > 0.050). Gestational metabolic disorders were independent risk of LPE: weekly GWG and the per cent of fat mass in normal weight pregnant women with LPE were significantly higher compared to the women with EPE and control. The per cent of fat mass in the 1st trimester in PPE (23.90 ± 4.40 %) exceeded control (20.50 ± 4.30 %; р = 0.003) and EPE (21.20 ± 3.65 %; р = 0.008) groups. Differences were aggravated during pregnancy (р < 0.050).Conclusions. Pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity, excessive GWG and gain of fatty mass were an independent risk of developing PE with synergistic negative effect. Pre-pregnancy and gestational lipid dismetabolism were associated with LPE. Our results suggested that no correlation between pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, fatty mass and risk of EPE.

First carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis (1st CMCJ OA) is a common condition with variable results reported from local corticosteroid injection. This study aims to explore the medium-term outcome with respect to pain relief, patient satisfaction and the need for subsequent surgical intervention. A prospective review was performed of patients undergoing fluoroscopically guided corticosteroid injection by one surgeon, with postal questionnaires for medium-term follow-up. Forty-one patients were included. Thirty-one were female and ten male, with a mean age of 60 years. In the short term 76% of patients reported pain relief with an average duration of four weeks and 69% of the patients reported benefit from injection. After a median follow-up of 36 months 76% of patients reported continuing pain but 59% reported satisfaction with the outcome. Twenty-eight per cent of the patients had undergone surgery. Local corticosteroid injection of the CMCJ provides only short-term pain relief, but few patients go on to surgical intervention.

The article describes the level of heterogeneity of female representatives of the Scythian culture from the territory of the forest-steppe and steppe Ukraine, clarifies their place among the synchronous female Scythian, Sarmatian groups and series of the Late Eneolithic, Bronze, Timber-grave culture of Eurasia, for that purpose, in particular, new craniological data have been entered into scientific circulation. Three standard techniques were used: craniometry (according to R. Martin), ethnic cranioscopy (which was proposed by A. G. Kozintsev), and craniophenetics (according to the method of A. C. Berry, R. J. Berry, which was tested by A. A. Movsesyan). When interpreting the data, the computer programs by B. Kozintsev and A. Kozintsev were used. In general, after study of the entire array of female burials, both from steppe and forest-steppe Scythia (52 skulls) from the territory of modern Ukraine (except for Crimea), on the skulls of which 12 craniometric features and one index according to R. Martin (1, 8, 20, 9, 45, 48, 55, 54, 51, 52, 77, zm, SS:SC) were preserved, the heterogeneity of women of the Scythian culture was revealed for the forest-steppe of Ukraine. According to its morphology, the studied skull of a 30–40-year-old woman from burial 12 in the village. Medvin, Boguslavsky district, Kyiv region, dated to the 7th – 6th cent. BC belongs to the third, mesocranial, broad-faced craniological variant with a very low calvaria, which after canonical and cluster analyses reveals its similarity to the female mesocranial series of catacomb culture of Ukraine and mesocranial, broad-faced, dated by archaeologists to the 5th – 4th cent. BC. The eastern direction of relations is insignificant and is manifested by the similarity of the fourth, mesocranial (or subbrachicranic), with a high vault of craniological variant to the Sarmatian burials, dating from the 3rd – 1st cent. BC. Principal component analysis and canonical multivariate analysis did not reveal morphological differences between steppe and forest-steppe female skulls.

Background: Unmet need of contraception remains a national problem. The study was conducted among the mothers attending immuno-prophylaxis clinic (IPC) at tertiary care centre of central India to determine the use of different types of contraception and assess the unmet need for contraception along with the reasons associated with the unmet needs of contraception. Aim and objective was to study the contraceptive use, reasons for unmet needs amongst the mothers attending IPC and some related factors.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted during the period from February-April 2016 at IPC in tertiary care setting. In this study 280 mothers attending IPC for Measles and DPT 1st booster of their child were enrolled. The sample population was selected by simple random sampling method. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents with written informed consent.Results: This study shows that, 65% of mother told they were practicing any type of family planning method. Unmet need for contraception was 37.14 per cent. Among those having unmet need (n=104), fear of side effects (41.35%), infrequent sex (25%) were the common reasons for unmet need. Religion, age of marriage, age at 1st pregnancy, education, socioeconomic status, occupation of husband, counselling about contraceptives during ANC/PNC visits and resumption of menses were significantly associated with the use of contraceptives.Conclusions: The unmet need for contraception was quite high. Most of the study subjects were not using contraception due to fear of side effects and lack of knowledge.

The risk factors for time to mortality, censored at 30 days, of patients admitted to an adult teaching hospital ICU with haematological and solid malignancies were assessed in a retrospective cohort study. Patients, demographics and daily ICU patient data, from admission to day 8, were identified from a prospective computerized database and casenote review in consecutive admissions to ICU with haematological and solid tumours over a 10-year period (1989–99). The cohort, 108 ICU admissions in 89 patients was of mean age (±SD) 55±14 years; 43% were female. Patient diagnoses were leukaemia (35%), lymphoma (38%) and solid tumours (27%). Median time from hospital to ICU admission was five days (range 0–67). On ICU admission, 50% had septic shock and first day APACHE II score was 28±9. Forty-six per cent of patients were ventilated. ICU and 30-day mortality were 39% and 54% respectively. Multivariate Cox model predictors (P<0.05), using only ICU admission day data were: Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), time to ICU admission (days) and mechanical ventilation. For daily data (admission through day 8), predictors were: cohort effect (2nd vs 1st five-year period); CCI; time to ICU admission (days); APACHE II score and mechanical ventilation. Outcomes were considered appropriate for severity of illness and demonstrated improvement over time. Ventilation was an independent outcome determinant. Controlling for other factors, mortality has improved over time (1st vs 2nd five year period). Analysis restricted to admission data alone may be insensitive to particular covariate effects.

This study analyses the research publications data about Coronavirus before and after the Covid-19 outbreak, to answer vital questions relevant to the Coronavirus research. The objectives of this study are to compare the Coronavirus research publications and tries to distinguish the pre and post Covid-19 outbreak trend in Coronavirus research, in the context of research areas, publications growth pattern, country and institutional contributions, funding agencies, language distribution, publishers and journal preferences, etc. It also tries to visualise the institutional and country-wide collaboration patterns in the Coronavirus research using the VOSviewer visualisation software. This study is based on the data retrieved from the Web of Science database for two time-frames, such as 1965 to 31st December 2019, and 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2021. This study reveals that, 89 per cent of the Coronavirus research publications were brought out after the Covid-19 outbreak, and research on Coronavirus has been undertaken in diversified areas in contrast to the prior period where it was mainly on virology, veterinary science, infectious diseases, microbiology, immunology, etc. It shows that USA and China continued to stand on top of the Coronavirus publications share, and the research collaboration between various countries and institutions has improved during 2020-21. It shows that over 97 per cent of the Coronavirus publications are in the English and the majority of the publications are in the journals published by Elsevier in both periods. During 2020-21 the Journal of Virology lost its upper hand in publishing the Coronavirus research publications.
