Adequacy of Amount of Light for Performance of Selected Tasks in Selected Households in Ludhiana

The present study was carried out in Punjab with the objective to survey the existing lighting conditions, to determine the light intensity in different rooms and to determine adequacy of amount of light (level of illumination) for the performance of selected tasks in the selected households. Sixty households each from two localities i.e. approved ( Sarabha Nagar) and unapproved (Haibowal) were randomly selected for the present study. Light intensity in selected parts of house and work areas was measured to determine adequacy of amount of light. Results revealed that openings on outer walls were less than one fourth of wall area in both localities. In unapproved locality provision of skylight was found more. Fluorescent tubes and incandescent bulbs were more frequently used in both the localities and compact fluorescent lamps, halogen lamps, chandeliers and ceiling lights was found to be very limited. Entrance of selected houses of both localities received maximum sunlight. Lobby and storeroom received minimum sunlight. Assessed daylight was found to be maximum in entrance in both localities. Assessed light from fluorescent tube was observed to be higher as compared to incandescent bulb in all areas of both localities. Non significant difference was found between objective and subjective assessment of light intensity with and without artificial light except for lobby and kitchen. Comparison with recommended values of light intensity revealed that in social zone, light intensity was more than recommended and in private zone it was less than recommendations given by National Building Code of India, 2002. Mean observed value for light intensity was found to be highest for writing i.e. 206.27 lux and 181.67 lux and lowest for ironing i.e. 134.92 lux and 124.50 lux from approved and unapproved locality respectively. Task related lighting for all the activities was also found to be much less in intensity than recommended values in both the localities.

The Italian National ART Register

On February 19th 2004 in Italy was promulgate a law that regulates all assisted reproduction techniques (ART) ( * ). In this law is established the creation of the National ART Register (Registro Nazionale della Procreazione Medicalmente Assistita) at the National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanita, ISS). The National Health Institute prepares an annual report to the Ministry of Health, with all the data from the ART clinics operating in Italy. Sending data to the Register is mandatory. The aims of the Register are: list all the authorized structures that apply ART techniques in Italy, collect and diffuse transparent information of these techniques and the results of their application. Diffuse the correct information to all citizens and infertile couples in particular on reproductive health, prevention of infertility and possible therapeutic interventions. The Register data collection is made on a specific web site ( www.iss.it/rpma ) create to allow ART clinics to complete and send out the annual summary data reports “on-line”. Each clinic has an username and a password that consent them the access to a private zone in this web site where they can communicate with the Italian National ART register. Actual law requires The Register to collect information also on children born after ART procedures. Actually all the ART clinics have big problems to recruit such kind of data, because not all the couples let them know if their treatments have been successfully. The data covering treatments and births starts during a specific year. The data are usually available two years after the end of the treatment period. The summaries of each clinic contain data regarding: number of ART procedures, pregnancies and deliveries by ART procedure including standard IVF, ICSI, FIVET, GIFT and FER; the number of cycles started, number of oocyte aspirations and of embryo transfers; abortions an ectopic pregnancies; the number of live born children; the number of IVF treatments, reported per ART procedure, the indications for treatment and women's age (in five year intervals); the number of embryo replaced per procedure. Data collection take place twice a year: the first data collection regards ART treatments results and the other one for data regarding surveillance of children born after ART procedures. The Italian Register cooperate with other 29 countries sending data to the eim European IVF Monitoring. The European data collection is made once a year from all the participating countries and the results are published after two years. In addition, the Italian ART Register is trying to build up a report system of individual cycle data. As a matter of fact it was created a specific software freely distribute among ART clinics to consent them the collection of individual cycle data and to administrate their own patients flow. Unfortunately the national privacy protection authorities (“Garante della Privacy”) until today has not gave the permission to collect this kind of data.

Publicity, privacy, and “happy deaths” in Fiji

In this article, I investigate death as a nexus around which public–private distinctions are made. An examination of Methodist missionary efforts at entextualizing “happy deaths” in 19th‐century Fiji shows how the missionaries both attempted to create a Christian reading public “back home” but also unintentionally helped create a new private zone of the demonic. I analyze the private demonic zone through the constricted circulation of particular narratives heard after the death of a high chief in 2003.

Redeposition effects on the target plates of the JET tokamak

Complete tiles from the X-point target region of the JET tokamak can be analysed by ion beam techniques in a special chamber equipped to handle beryllium- and tritium-contaminated samples. From the amounts of deuterium co-deposited during plasma operations, and the pattern of beryllium deposits remaining from regular Be evaporation in the torus, erosion and redeposition effects at the target area can be determined. The largest amounts of net redeposition occur in the ‘private zone’ and near the inner separatrix. There appears to be a net transfer of material from the outer to the inner strike zone: the data are compared with models for divertor transport.
