Abstract:Background: Bleeding of the digestive tract in elderlies must provoke a significant deterioration to patient in a crisp stable condition. Capsule endoscopy provides excellent visualization of the small intestine, is well tolerated by patients, and is safe. Our interest is to present the use of well-known techniques that exist today in every hospital used in combination to treat cases that otherwise would need a greater and extensive surgical intervention. Methods: A patient was admitted to the surgery department from the emergency room with symptoms of melena for the last two days. After 48 hours enteroscopy and colonoscopy were performed and no pathology was found. Under general anesthesia and supine position, insufflation of the abdomen was performed trough a Veress needle inserted in the upper left quadrant. Three trocars were inserted in the right abdomen in the same time, from the abdomen were movilizated the omentum and the transverse colon to the upper abdomen, when the scope entered to the Treitz the gastroenterologist placed the scope curved in a right angle. Results:  After recognizing the polyp, we kept the intestine with the graspers without any movement to facilitate the excision of the polyp by the gastroenterologist.  The polyp was more than 7 millimeters and was excise using hot snare. After 6 month follow-up the patient doesn’t suffer from bleeding and remains with stable hemoglobin. Conclusions: Using the laparoscopy as a method of roll up the gut to bring the pathology to the endoscope eye appears as an excellent tool for treatment.

5) Farmers’ Responses to Drought: Dry Zone of Sri Lanka: (Case Study in Medirigiriya).
Author Details: Rekha Nianthi, K.W.G-Department of Geography, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka
Abstract:
Some years the erratic weather (dry) has affected a higher percentage of the agriculture farming community in Northern, Eastern, Uva and North Central provinces in Sri Lanka. Droughts can severely impact on human, natural environment, animal, agriculture and water resources. In the case of paddy production in Sri Lanka, if Maha rainfall is lower than the mean values, it effects on the paddy production not only in Maha but also in the preceding of Yala cultivation seasons. In Sri Lanka drought is frequently occurring in the Dry Zone areas with lack of rain water in particular cultivation seasons and years. The 2013/2014 drought has seriously damaged the agricultural production (specially the paddy production) in both Yala and Maha cultivation seasons. Over one million people in Sri Lanka have been severely affected by the drought in 2013/2014 for many districts in the Island. The Medirigiriya Divisional Secretariat (DS) of Polonnaruwa district has been one of the worst affected districts.  Water levels of the many tanks have been declined. Paddy farmers have been faced economic hardships situation due to this drought. The main objective of this study was to examine the impacts of drought on paddy farmers. To study the adaptations practices of paddy farmers for drought, and how they are going to face for the same incidences in the future is also studied. This paper examined the perceptions of drought among paddy farmers in two villages using in-depth interviews with paddy farmers and focus group discussions with relevant officers. The field visit has been conducted in the month of October 2014. This drought has impacted to the agriculture, water resources, drinking water and food, environment, and household income. This study also examined how subsidies are distributed to victims, adaptations practices of the farmers, and future suggestions to mitigate the drought.

Abstract:
This research investigates Effects of fusion activation on pleomorphicity.   The results Statistical analysis were done to further clarify the effects of fusion activation on virus shape. It was  concluded that the shape of LCMV native and PICV native up to 900 remain the same even after fusion activation. The shape remained changed and PICV fusion activation remained the same shape as the vesicles. In the case of LCMV fusion activation the shape remains the same whether it was treated with lithium chloride or by lowering the pH.  It was further revealed Statistical analysis were done to further clarify the effects of fusion activation on virus shape. It was  concluded that the shape of LCMV native and PICV native up to 900 remain the same even after fusion activation. The shape remained changed and PICV fusion activation remained the same shape as the vesicles. In the case of LCMV fusion activation the shape remains the same whether it was treated with lithium chloride or by lowering the pH.

Abstract:
The result of density transects analysis of the ends (0⁰ and 180⁰) vs sides (90⁰ and 270⁰) of elliptical TCRV are shown in figure 6.7. While the density of the inner and outer membrane peaks remained constant, there was less electron density present in the expected positions of GP, Z and NP on the flat “sides” (90⁰ and 270⁰) of elliptical TCRV particles. The shape of each peak was similar, but no broadening was observed. This was interpreted to indicate that less protein was present at the expected position for each of the three viral structural proteins, GP, Z and NP. It was further revealed understand the role of protein organization in virion morphology, images of TCRV was manually grouped according to the apparent organization of the Z and NP components. In order to do this, all elliptical TCRV particles were selected and manually rotated to match one of the nine categories shown in Figure 6.5.  The number of images in each section therefore reflects the prevalence of each type of organization in the population of elliptical TCRV.  As shown in Figure 6.5, the most common organization found displayed well organized Z and NP around the termini of the longest diameter, i.e., at highly curved “ends” of each particle.  In contrast, Z and NP organization often appeared to be disrupted at the termini of the shortest diameter, i.e., on the less curved “sides” of each particle.  The presence of GP appeared to correlate with protein organization, with GP being present only on regions where organized Z and NP were visible inside the virion.  Several of the particles appeared to lack GP on the flat or inwardly curving “sides” of the particle

Abstract:
Studies on production and marketing of beef in Nawabshah District were carried out during the year 1997-98, Seven markets of large ruminants were selected for the study. In all 160 livestock framers, i.e. 100 producers, 15 each traders, middle men, final seller and commission agents were interviewed randomly from various markets of the Nawabshah District.
The study revealed that out of 100 farmers, 30.58 percent were literate and 59.42 percent were illiterate. The producer earned the net margin of Rs.1653.73 for each buffalo and Rs.1392.67 for each cattle after incurring the total expenditure of Rs.17253.27 for buffalo and Rs.132124.00 for cattle.
The marketing agencies involved in the trade were identified as trader, middleman and final seller. While the middleman incurred Rs.116.40 for buffalo and Rs.100.70 for cattle, final seller incurred Rs.107.25 for buffalo and Rs.97.50 on cattle. The price spread between producer and trader, trader and middleman, middleman and final seller was Rs.372.93, Rs.937.80 and Rs.850.00 for buffalo and Rs.711.03, Rs.801.40 and Rs.825.00 for cattle respectively. Marketing margin for trader, middleman and final seller was 1.96, 4.72 and 4.10 percent for buffalo and 4.62, 4.95 and 4.85 percent for cattle respectively. The maximum markup was 4.95 and 5.21 percent earned by middleman for the sale of buffalo and cattle respectively, while the minimum percentage received by trader was 1.80 percent from the sale of buffalo and 4.18 from the sale of cattle.
The price paid by consumer on buffalo was shared as 89.58 percent by producer, 1.80 percent by trader, 4.52 percent by middleman, and 4.10 percent by final seller, whereas, in case of cattle it was shared as 86.27 percent (producer), 4.18 percent (trader), 4.7 percent (middleman), 4.85 percent (final seller).
On expenditure of one rupee in the trade, the middleman received the highest benefit i.e. Rs.7.056 whereas the producer received the lowest i.e. only 0.096. However, the final seller earned Rs.6.758 and trader Rs.2.528 for buffalo. In case of cattle final seller earned the maximum Rs.7.462 profit and producer received the minimum Rs.0.106 while trader and middleman earned the Rs.6.514 and 6.958 profits respectively.
