India Bans Export Of Hydroxychloroquine, Trump Says 'There May Be Retaliation'
Pankaj K. Choudhary
The National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority on April 6 tweeted a Government order that completely prohibits export of Hydroxychloroquine from India, without any exceptions.
On March 25, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) had already passed a notification prohibiting the export of Hydroxychloroquine — an anti-malarial drug that is now being widely used to treat the coronavirus.
However, there were a few exceptions to the ban which includes allowing exports of orders placed before the notification of the ban, exports on humanitarian grounds and exports from Special Economic Zones.
On April 4, the DGFT amended the earlier notification and prohibited exports of Hydroxychloroquine completely without any exceptions.
Earlier, US President Donald Trump, at a White House press conference on Saturday, said that he had sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's help for release of the orders of Hydroxychloroquine placed by the US.
Here is what DGFT has said:
"We have seen some attempts by sections of the media to create unnecessary controversy over the issue of COVID19 related drugs and pharmaceuticals. Like any responsible government, our first obligation is to ensure that there are adequate stocks of medicines for the requirement of our own people. In order to ensure this, some temporary steps were taken to restrict exports of a number of pharmaceutical products. In the meanwhile, a comprehensive assessment was made of possible requirements under different scenarios. After having confirmed the availability of medicines for all possible contingencies currently envisaged, these restrictions have been largely lifted. The DGFT has notified lifting restrictions on 14 drugs yesterday. With regard to paracetamol and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), they will be kept in a licensed category and their demand position would be continuously monitored. However, the stock position could allow our companies to meet the export commitments that they had contracted."
Given the enormity of the COVID19 pandemic, India has always maintained that the international community must display strong solidarity and cooperation. This approach also guided our evacuation of nationals of other countries. In view of the humanitarian aspects of the pandemic, it has been decided that India would licence paracetamol and HCQ in appropriate quantities to all our neighbouring countries who are dependent on our capabilities. We will also be supplying these essential drugs to some nations who have been particularly badly affected by the pandemic. We would therefore discourage any speculation in this regard or any attempts to politicise the matter.", says DGFT.
Donald Trump said he was unaware that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had banned the export of a drug that the U.S. president believes is effective against coronavirus, and said he asked Modi for a supply of the medicine.
"I don't like that decision. I didn't hear that was his decision," Trump said at the White House Monday. "I would be surprised if that was his decision. He would have to tell me that."
Trump said in a recent phone conversation with the prime minister that the U.S. would "appreciate" allowing a U.S. order of the drug "to come out."
US President Donald Trump also indicated that there might be "retaliation" if India doesn't release the US order for the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine used to fight COVID-19.

Charlotte Brontë once wrote, "It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it." Though she led a quiet life (and died young), Brontë indeed created action in her sweeping, passionate novels, such as the gothic drama Jane Eyre.
Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. She takes up the post of governess at Thornfield, falls in love with Mr. Rochester, and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than Victorian society traditionally allowed. With a heroine full of yearning, the dangerous secrets she encounters, and the choices she finally makes, Charlotte Bronte's innovative and enduring romantic novel continues to engage and provoke readers.
A small breakfast-room adjoined the drawing-room. I slipped in there. It contained a book-case: I soon possessed myself of a volume, taking care that it should be one stored with pictures. I mounted into the window-seat: gathering up my feet, I sat cross-legged, like a Turk; and, having drawn the red moreen curtain nearly close, I was shrined in double retirement.
Written in 1847, this novel remains a favorite, especially among younger readers and listeners who continue to be entranced by the young Jane and her mysterious Mr. Rochester. The story of an unhappy orphan and her life as a governess at Thornfield is filled with difficulty, including a shocking revelation on her wedding day. The happy ending finally arrives, though, and Jane and Rochester are united forever. Long criticized as being melodramatic and contrived, Jane Eyre has nonetheless become a romantic classic and is often the book that introduces students to serious literature. Bronte's suspense-filled plot adapts well to the audio format. This version, although abridged, omits nothing of importance. Juliet Stevenson, a Royal Shakespeare Company associate, reads with the drama the story demands and makes each character emerge with life and energy. Recommended for general audiences.

Conflict Resolution in a Healthcare Setting
Despite the fact that there is no one universal definition of a conflict, Kreitner and Kinicki (2010) defined it as a "process in which one party perceives that its interests are being opposed or negatively affected by another party" (p. 373). In a professional setting, conflicts can arise from a variety of reasons ranging from resistance to change to the opposition between personal views of employees. While the avoidance of conflict may seem like a way to go, the truth is that it may negatively affect productivity and the delivery of the services an organization provides, especially in a healthcare setting. Therefore, it is crucial for the senior management of a facility to find a way in which a conflict can be resolved in order not to undermine employees' productivity and the quality of the provided care.Conflict Resolution in a Healthcare Setting

Conflict in a Healthcare Setting
In a hospital setting, all conflicts are tied to the interactions between people since the delivery of quality health care implies the use of human resources. To better understand the process of conflict resolution in a healthcare setting, the following scenario is proposed for examination:
The University of Miami Hospital located in Miami, Florida, has been recently dealing with an interprofessional conflict associated with the disruptive behavior of an attending physician that seemed to be opposed to the practices employed by the nurses. The physician who occupied a dominant position over the nursing personnel made up assignments for nurses during patient care that did not coincide with their responsibilities. For example, when the physician came to visit an elderly patient for a check-up, he ordered a nurse to clean the room and bring new window curtains for the patient to feel more comfortable. Such a disrespectful attitude made the nurse unsatisfied, but she followed the order so that the patient did not witness conflict. After the physician had left the patient, the nurse confronted him in the hallway and expressed her frustration with what had happened; however, the physician brushed it off and stated that he was superior in position and could do anything he wanted. Within the next week, he proceeded to give nurses unnecessary tasks to which they sometimes agreed due to the fear of patients being witnesses of a conflict.Conflict Resolution in a Healthcare Setting
The week of conflicting interactions among workers significantly impacted the delivery of quality patient care because some nurses were occupied by irrelevant tasks and were losing time they could spend on caring for patients. One elderly patient expressed her dissatisfaction with the work of nurses since she had to wait forty minutes for someone to help her get up and go to the bathroom. Sadly, the conflict remained unresolved since the hospital's management did not find any time to look into it – they were preoccupied with an upcoming arrival of a foreign delegation of possible sponsors. Nurses exhibited hostile behavior towards the physician but kept following his orders. If the conflict is not resolved, it will negatively affect nurses' satisfaction with work and patients' satisfaction with care (Higazee, 2015).Conflict Resolution in a Healthcare Setting
Stages of Conflict
It is important to outline four stages of conflict to align them with the case scenario. Latent conflict is the first stage, in which factors that can cause a conflict to emerge. In the case, such factors included the disrespectful behavior of a physician, the opposition of roles, as well as professional superiority of one healthcare provider over another. Perceived conflict, on the other hand, occurs when parties do not have a full understanding of each other's positions – the physician did not understand that nurses are not cleaners or the maintenance personnel.
Felt conflict is the stage in which parties can cognize and feel the negative attitudes. In the case of the Miami hospital, the conflict was felt because nurses had to follow the inconsistent demands of a physician who exceeded his professional powers and showed a disrespectful attitude towards nurses that in his opinion, were lower in rank. Lastly, manifest conflict implies the parties of the conflict is engaged in behavior that evokes responses such as aggression, apathy, disobedience, etc. (MBA, 2013). In the discussed situation, nurses exhibited obedient behavior when they were in the presence of patients; however, when patients were not around, they did not follow the physician's orders, were rude, resentful, and angry. The delegation did not play a role in the conflict because the "higher-standing" physician did not assign any responsibility or authority to nurses; instead, he diminished the work of nurses to meaningless tasks.Conflict Resolution in a Healthcare Setting
Conflict Resolution Strategies
While conflict resolution practices can take a variety of forms, the key strategy that should be included in all cases is associated with assembling a team of stakeholders interested in mitigation. Such a team should include a nurse leader, the physician involved in the conflict, the department manager, as well as a representative of the hospital's senior management. Fist, every stakeholder should express "self-interest" while the other step relates to finding overlaps between "self-interest" to find "enlarged interests" (Dorn, Marcus, & McNulty, 2013, para. 3). According to Dorn, Marcus, and McNulty (2013), experience showed that there is usually a larger number of agreements than disagreements with regards to common interests. The third component of the strategy is coming up with "enlightened interests" that make up the solutions for disagreements that remained. The last stage is identifying the set of agreements or "aligned interests" (Dorn, Marcus, & McNulty, 2013).
Active listening, structured dialogue, appreciative inquiry, and positive deviance should become tools for resolving the conflict that arose in a healthcare setting. Active listening should be incorporated into the physician's practice so that he understands the perspective of nurses. Conflicting parties must engage in a conversation and encourage the sharing of thoughts and feelings through a structured dialogue supported by the facility's management. Appreciative inquiry implies learning from the experiences of others (Sigut, 2013); therefore, a physician should look at the everyday responsibilities nurses have to gain respect for their work. A nursing leader should also be involved in conflict resolution and participate in positive deviance, which is an approach targeted at finding best mitigation practices in other healthcare facilities and promoting their adoption (Sigut, 2013).Conflict Resolution in a Healthcare Setting
The experience of the conflict between a physician and nurses in a hospital setting shed light on the fact that some people in a profession can consider the work of others invaluable when in fact such work brings tremendous benefit to patients. Resolving conflicts that arise from disrespect and the lack of understanding for the efforts of others is an important issue to address in a healthcare setting. Moreover, the fact that the physician appealed to his superiority to justify his actions only contributed to the development of the conflict. In future situations, it will be best to address the issue immediately with the help of the mentioned tools and strategies instead of ignoring the problem and acting as if nothing is happening.

"A survey of community engagement in Australian local government" by Bligh Grant, Brian Dollery et al.
Grant, B, Dollery, B, Kortt, MA & Blackwell, B 2012, 'A survey of community engagement in Australian local government', Journal of African & Asian Local Government Studies, vol. 1, no. 4, pp. 1-29.
In the quest for both enhanced local democracy (Aulich 2009) and increased economic prosperity founded in 'place-based' policy-making (Lyons 2007), community engagement has become an established technique of Australian local government planning and decision-making. While several commentators have considered the normative validity of community engagement strategies (see, for example, Grant and Dollery 2011) and others have conducted detailed studies of particular jurisdictional contexts (Prior and Herriman 2010; Wiseman 2006), to date a comparative study of the different Australian local government systems has not been forthcoming. As an initial step toward undertaking this comprehensive empirical task, this paper examines the legislative and regulatory frameworks for community engagement in Australian local government jurisdictions. It is argued that the characteristics of Australia's federal system are played out in this policy arena, such that differences between the state and territory frameworks enable the promise of place-based policy making to be felt at the local community level.


Retinal imaging uses special cameras and scanners to make magnified images, or pictures, of the back of your eye. This includes the retina. It's the part of the eye that's most responsible for your vision.
Color and black-and-white photography. A camera magnifies the back of your eye and makes pictures.
Optical coherence tomography, or OCT. A scanner uses light waves to form an image of the retina on a computer screen.
Ultrasound.This test uses sound waves to form the image.
Angiogram. A dye is injected into your arm. It flows through your blood to the blood vessels in your eye. The dye makes the blood vessels in your eye easier to see as your doctor looks at your eyes through the camera.
A test called fundus autofluorescence is sometimes used. Special lighting lets the doctor see microscopic changes in your eye that are caused by certain conditions.
These tests help doctors find and treat eye problems. Doctors can see if a disease is getting worse or if treatment is working.
You have diabetes or diabetic retinopathy. These conditions can lead to poor vision and even blindness. A test can help your doctor see if treatment is working.
Your doctor thinks you have wet macular degeneration. It can lead to vision loss. Tests can help find leaky blood vessels in your eye or blood vessels that are not normal, which are part of this disease.
Your vision is getting worse and your doctor wants to find out why.
Eye exams, including retinal imaging, may help your doctor find a problem before it has a chance to get worse. And this gives you a better chance of protecting your vision. Retinal imaging should not take the place of a complete eye exam.
If you know that the doctor will use drops to widen, or dilate, your pupils, think about having someone else drive you home. The drops make your eyes very sensitive to light. You may not be able to see well for a few hours. If you have sunglasses, take them with you to wear on the way home.
If you wear contact lenses, you may want to take your eyeglasses with you.
You are or might be pregnant or are breastfeeding. The dye used in an angiogram may harm the fetus. The dye also can pass to a baby in breast milk.
You have any health problems, including glaucoma.
You are taking any medicines, including over-the-counter medicines and herbs or other supplements.
You are allergic to any medicines, including dilating eyedrops.
Retinal imaging tests are done in a hospital or doctor's office by an ophthalmologist or optometrist.
For some tests, the doctor will first use eyedrops to widen, or dilate, your pupils. You'll sit and wait for about half an hour for the drops to take effect.
For most tests, you'll sit in a chair facing the camera. You'll place your chin on a chin rest. And you'll brace your forehead against a bar to keep it still.
Keep your mouth closed, open your eyes as wide as you can, and stare straight ahead. You can breathe and blink normally while the camera photographs or scans your eyes.
It only takes a few minutes to take the pictures.
Before an angiogram, a dye is injected into your vein.
An IV needle is placed in a vein in your arm, and the dye is injected. It takes only a few seconds for the dye to be visible in the blood vessels in your eyes.
Photos are taken as the dye enters the eyes.
This test usually takes about 30 minutes.
Eyes closed: You sit in a chair with your eyes closed. The doctor puts ultrasound gel on your eyelid. Then he or she gently moves a small ultrasound wand against your eyelid.
Eyes open:Eyedrops are used to numb your eyes. The doctor moves the ultrasound wand against the front surface of your eye.
The tests themselves don't cause pain or discomfort. For some tests, very bright light may shine in your eye.
If your eyes have been dilated, they will be very sensitive to light for several hours. Your vision may be a little blurry.
The dye used in an angiogram may cause a metallic taste in your mouth. You may also have mild nausea and a brief feeling of warmth. Your urine may be orange for a day or two.
In some people, the dilating eyedrops can cause an allergic reaction.
The dye used in an angiogram may upset your stomach. You may feel flushed. These symptoms pass quickly. If you're pregnant, talk to your doctor about possible risks to your baby.
Some people are allergic to the dye. Tell your doctor if you feel lightheaded, need to vomit, or feel itchy after the dye is injected. Very rarely, a person may have a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) and need emergency care.
The pictures from retinal imaging tests help your doctor look for problems and decide on treatment.
There is a mole, cyst, or some other problem on the back of the eye.
There are blocked or leaking blood vessels in the eye.
The layer of nerves called the retinal nerve fiber layer is injured or getting thin.
There are changes in the natural coloring of the back of the eye.
The dilating drops don't widen your pupils enough.
You aren't able to keep your eyes wide open and to stare straight ahead during the test.
You aren't able to hold still during the test.
The dyes used in angiograms can be passed on through breast milk. This means that moms will need to stop breastfeeding for a day or two after the test. Use a breast pump to empty your breasts and get rid of the milk until it's safe to start breastfeeding again.

Address on Flag Day
By Woodrow Wilson
dodwnload
In this address on June 14, 1916, two weeks after his presidential proclamation regarding Flag Day, President Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924) celebrated the first national Flag Day at a ceremony held near the Washington Monument. Earlier in the day, he led a "Preparedness Parade" in which some 66,000 marchers took part.
What is the purpose of this speech? What, according to the speech, is the purpose of this Flag Day? What threats does Wilson seek to address? What sentiments and deeds does he seek to mobilize against them? What does Wilson now take to be the significance of the flag? How are the ideas and ideals he here associates with the flag connected to those about which he spoke a year earlier?
Mr. Secretary, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have not come here this afternoon with the purpose of delivering to you an elaborate address. It seems to me that the day is sufficiently eloquent already with the meaning which it should convey to us. The spectacle of the morning has been a very moving spectacle indeed—an almost unpremeditated outpouring of thousands of sober citizens to manifest their interest in the safety of the country and the sacredness of the flag which is its emblem.
I need not remind you how much sentiment has been poured out in honor of the flag of the United States. Sometimes we have been charged with being a very sentimental people, fond of expressing in general rhetorical phrases principles not sufficiently defined in action, and I dare say there have been times of happy and careless ease in this country when all that it has been necessary to do for the honor of the flag was to put our sentiments into poetic expressions, into the words that for the time being satisfied our hearts.
But this is not a day of sentiment. Sentiment is a propulsive power, but it does not propel in the way that is serviceable to the Nation, unless it have a definite purpose before it. This is not merely a day of sentiment. This is a day of purpose.
It is an eloquent symbol of the unity of our history that upon this monument which commemorates the man who did most to establish the American Union we should have hoisted those stars that have so multiplied since his time, associated with those lines of red and white, which mean all that is pure in our purpose and all that is red in our blood in the service of a Nation whose history has been full of inspiration because of his example.
But Washington was one of the least sentimental men that America has ever produced. The thing that thrills me about Washington is that he is impatient of any sentiment that has not got definite purpose in it. His letters run along the lines of action, not merely along the mere lines of sentiment, and the most inspiring times that this Nation has ever seen have been the times when sentiment had to be translated into action.
Apparently this Nation is again and again and again to be tested, and always tested in the same way. The last supreme test this nation went through was the test of the Civil War.
You know how deep that cut. You know what exigent issues of life were at issue in that struggle. You know how two great sections of this Union seemed to be moving in opposite directions, and for a long time it was questionable whether that flag represented any one united purpose in America. And you know how deep that struggle cut into the sentiments of this people and how there came a whole generation following that great struggle when men's hearts were bitter and sore and memories hurt as well as exalted, and how it seemed as if a rift had come in the hearts of the people of America.
And you know how that ended. While it seemed a tune of terror, it has turned out a proof of the validity of our hope. Where are now the divisions of sentiment which cut us asunder at the time of the Civil War? Did you not see the Blue and the Gray mingled this morning in the procession? Did not you see the sons of a subsequent generation walking together in happy comradeship? Was there any contradiction of feeling or division of sentiment evident there for a moment?
Nothing cuts so deep as a civil war, and yet all the wounds of that war have been healed not only, but the very passion of that war seems to have contributed to the strength of national feeling which now moves us as a single body politic.
And yet again the test is applied, my fellow countrymen, a new sort of division of feeling has sprung up among us. You know that we are derived in our citizenship from every nation in the world. It is not singular that sentiment should be disturbed by what is going on the other side of the water, but while sentiment may be disturbed, loyalty ought not to be.
I want to be scrupulously just, my fellow citizens, in assessing the circumstances of this day, and I am sure that you wish with me to deal out with an even hand the praise and the blame of this day of test.
I believe that the vast majority of those men whose lineage is directly derived from the nations now at war are just as loyal to the flag of the United States as any native citizen of this beloved land, but there are some men of that extraction who are not; and they, not only in past months, but at the present time, are doing their best to undermine the influence of the Government of the United States in the interest of matters which are foreign to us and which are not derived from the questions of our own politics.
There is disloyalty active in the United States, and it must be absolutely crushed. It proceeds from a minority, a very small minority, but a very active and subtle minority. It works underground, but it also shows its ugly head where we can see it; and there are those at this moment who are trying to levy a species of political blackmail, saying, "Do what we wish in the interest of foreign sentiment or we will wreak our vengeance at the polls."
That is the sort of thing against which the American Nation will turn with a might and triumph of sentiment which will teach these gentlemen once for all that loyalty to this flag is the first test of tolerance in the United States.
That is the lesson that I have come to remind you of on this day—no mere sentiment. It runs into your daily life and conversation. Are you going yourselves, individually and collectively, to see to it that no man is tolerated who does not do honor to that flag?
It is not a matter of force. It is not a matter, that is to say, of physical force. It is a matter of a greater force than that which is physical. It is a matter of spiritual force. It is to be achieved as we think, as we purpose, as we believe, and when the world finally learns that America is indivisible, then the world will learn how truly and profoundly great and powerful America is.
I realize personally, my fellow citizens, the peculiar significance of the flag of the United States at this time, because there was a day not many years ago when, although I thought I knew what the flag stood for, it had not penetrated my whole consciousness as it has now.
If you could have gone with me through the space of the last two years, and could have felt the subtle impact of intrigue and sedition and have realized with me that those to whom you have intrusted authority are trustees not only of the power, but of the very spirit and purpose of the United States, you would realize with me the solemnity with which I look upon the sublime symbol of our unity and power.
I want you to share that consciousness with me. I want you to realize that in what I am saying I am merely your spokesman, merely trying to interpret your thoughts, merely trying to put into inadequate words the purpose that is in your hearts. I regard this day as a day of rededication to all the ideals of the United States.
I took the liberty a few weeks ago to ask our fellow citizens all over the United States to gather together in celebration of this day, the anniversary of the adoption of our present flag as the emblem of the Nation. I had no legal right to declare it a holiday, I had no legal right to ask for the cessation of business, but when you read the papers tomorrow morning, I think you will see that authority was not necessary; that the people of the country were waiting for an opportunity to cease their ordinary business and gather together in united demonstration of their feeling as a Nation.
It was a very happy thought that led the committee of gentlemen who had charge of the demonstration of the forenoon to choose the 14th of June for the parade which most of us have witnessed. It is a tiresome thing, my fellow citizens, to stand for hours and see a parade go by, but I want to take you into this secret: It was not half as tiresome as the inauguration parade.
The inauguration parade is a very interesting thing, but it is painfully interesting to the man who is being inaugurated, because there then lie ahead of him the four years of responsibility whose horoscope cannot be cast by any man.
But to-day was interesting because the inauguration parade of the day of my inauguration is more than three years gone by. I have gone through deep waters with you in the meantime.
This parade was not a demonstration in honor of any man. It was an outpouring of people to demonstrate a great national sentiment. I was not the object of it. I was one citizen among millions whose heart beat in unison with it.
I felt caught up and buoyed along by the great stream of human purpose which seemed to flow there in front of me by the stand by the White House, and I shall go away from this meeting, as I came away from that parade, with all the deepest purposes of my heart renewed, and as I see the winds lovingly unfold the beautiful lines of our great flag I shall seem to see a hand pointing the way of duty no matter how hard, no matter how long, which we shall tread while we vindicate the glory and honor of the United States.
Return to The Meaning of Flag Day.

Screen is a multimedia artist book by Arthur Fouray. Its title embodies his artistic process which spreads here across two main formats: painting/serigraphy on cushions and a printed material.
The publication sets a comprehensive entry point into a research Arthur Fouray began in 2015 with his solo show "Spectre" at Espace Quark, Geneva. Through art and decoration history, he questions the shift between painting before the industrial revolution and the cinematographic experience. He proposes to the onlooker an art experience which teases the unsaid.
Published following Arthur Fouray's exhibition "Spectre" at Quark, Geneva, from November 13 to December 21, 2015.
Arthur Fouray (born 1990) is a French artist. His practice analyses through paintings the exhibition format. He is also curator at DOC Paris, France. In 2015, he co-founded the artist-run space Silicon Malley in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP)'s Ethical Consideration
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) editorial policy is in accordance with code of conduct and best practices by COPE. RJP follows the declaration of Helsinki (2013) regarding researches involving humans.
For animal or human studies, adequate statistics must be presented and the details of approvals of the research ethical committee including the code and date of approval should be indicated in the experimental section. The letter of approval of the Ethics Committee should also be uploaded during online submission in case of human studies.
While preparing the manuscript, every related literature should be cited properly and the manuscripts must be devoid of any kind of plagiarism. The submitted manuscript will be checked for plagiarism by Plagscan.
In the cover letter, the authors should clearly mention the type of their manuscripts (original article, short communication,... ), state that the work has not been submitted elsewhere and mention if there is any conflict of interest; also any conflict of interest should be stated before the reference section in the manuscript.
The articles published in Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. The copyright of the articles retains to the authors and authors are free to reproduce and disseminate their work.
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) is committed to apply ethics of publication, based on the COPE's Core Practices. Also in psychological studies, ethics of research, based on American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. In addition, in medical studies, RJP has engaged to apply ethics of research, based on Declaration of Helsinki: Statement of Ethical Principles for Medical Research. So, the research's ethical considerations must be addressed in the Materials and Methods section. For more information on the journal's ethical Principles, please refer to following title:
Ethical Principles for Medical Research
APA's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct
In medical studies, Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) as a Publication of Iranian Society of Pharmacognosy, is committed to apply ethics of research, based on Declaration of Helsinki: Statement of Ethical Principles for Medical Research and ICMJE's Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals. You may find the journal's Ethical Principles for Medical Research, here.
Protection of Human Subjects and Animals in Research
(Prepared Based on ICMJE's Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals)
In Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP), when reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2013. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study. When reporting experiments on animals, authors should indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
Informed Consent in Patients and Study Participants
In Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP), patients have a right to privacy that should not be violated without informed consent. Identifying information, including names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, or pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that an identifiable patient be shown the manuscript to be published. Authors should disclose to these patients whether any potential identifiable material might be available via the Internet as well as in print after publication. Patient consent should be written and archived either with the journal, the authors, or both, as dictated by local regulations or laws.
Nonessential identifying details should be omitted. Informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt that anonymity can be maintained. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance, and editors should so note, that such alterations do not distort scientific meaning. When informed consent has been obtained, it should be indicated in the published article.
Declaration of Helsinki: Statement of Ethical Principles for Medical Research
1.The World Medical Association (WMA) has developed the Declaration of Helsinki as a statement of ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects, including research on identifiable human material and data.
The Declaration is intended to be read as a whole and each of its constituent paragraphs should be applied with consideration of all other relevant paragraphs.
2.Consistent with the mandate of the WMA, the Declaration is addressed primarily to physicians. The WMA encourages others who are involved in medical research involving human subjects to adopt these principles.
3.The Declaration of Geneva of the WMA binds the physician with the words, "The health of my patient will be my first consideration," and the International Code of Medical Ethics declares that, "A physician shall act in the patient's best interest when providing medical care."
4.It is the duty of the physician to promote and safeguard the health, well-being and rights of patients, including those who are involved in medical research. The physician's knowledge and conscience are dedicated to the fulfilment of this duty.
5.Medical progress is based on research that ultimately must include studies involving human subjects.
6.The primary purpose of medical research involving human subjects is to understand the causes, development and effects of diseases and improve preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions (methods, procedures and treatments). Even the best proven interventions must be evaluated continually through research for their safety, effectiveness, efficiency, accessibility and quality.
7.Medical research is subject to ethical standards that promote and ensure respect for all human subjects and protect their health and rights.
8.While the primary purpose of medical research is to generate new knowledge, this goal can never take precedence over the rights and interests of individual research subjects.
9.It is the duty of physicians who are involved in medical research to protect the life, health, dignity, integrity, right to self-determination, privacy, and confidentiality of personal information of research subjects. The responsibility for the protection of research subjects must always rest with the physician or other health care professionals and never with the research subjects, even though they have given consent.
10.Physicians must consider the ethical, legal and regulatory norms and standards for research involving human subjects in their own countries as well as applicable international norms and standards. No national or international ethical, legal or regulatory requirement should reduce or eliminate any of the protections for research subjects set forth in this Declaration.
11.Medical research should be conducted in a manner that minimizes possible harm to the environment.
12.Medical research involving human subjects must be conducted only by individuals with the appropriate ethics and scientific education, training and qualifications. Research on patients or healthy volunteers requires the supervision of a competent and appropriately qualified physician or other health care professional.
13.Groups that are underrepresented in medical research should be provided appropriate access to participation in research.
14.Physicians who combine medical research with medical care should involve their patients in research only to the extent that this is justified by its potential preventive, diagnostic or therapeutic value and if the physician has good reason to believe that participation in the research study will not adversely affect the health of the patients who serve as research subjects.
15.Appropriate compensation and treatment for subjects who are harmed as a result of participating in research must be ensured.
Risks, Burdens and Benefits
16.In medical practice and in medical research, most interventions involve risks and burdens.
Medical research involving human subjects may only be conducted if the importance of the objective outweighs the risks and burdens to the research subjects.
17.All medical research involving human subjects must be preceded by careful assessment of predictable risks and burdens to the individuals and groups involved in the research in comparison with foreseeable benefits to them and to other individuals or groups affected by the condition under investigation.
Measures to minimize the risks must be implemented. The risks must be continuously monitored, assessed and documented by the researcher.
18.Physicians may not be involved in a research study involving human subjects unless they are confident that the risks have been adequately assessed and can be satisfactorily managed.
When the risks are found to outweigh the potential benefits or when there is conclusive proof of definitive outcomes, physicians must assess whether to continue, modify or immediately stop the study.
Vulnerable Groups and Individuals
19.Some groups and individuals are particularly vulnerable and may have an increased likelihood of being wronged or of incurring additional harm.
All vulnerable groups and individuals should receive specifically considered protection.
20.Medical research with a vulnerable group is only justified if the research is responsive to the health needs or priorities of this group and the research cannot be carried out in a non-vulnerable group. In addition, this group should stand to benefit from the knowledge, practices or interventions that result from the research.
Scientific Requirements and Research Protocols
21.Medical research involving human subjects must conform to generally accepted scientific principles, be based on a thorough knowledge of the scientific literature, other relevant sources of information, and adequate laboratory and, as appropriate, animal experimentation. The welfare of animals used for research must be respected.
22.The design and performance of each research study involving human subjects must be clearly described and justified in a research protocol.
The protocol should contain a statement of the ethical considerations involved and should indicate how the principles in this Declaration have been addressed. The protocol should include information regarding funding, sponsors, institutional affiliations, potential conflicts of interest, incentives for subjects and information regarding provisions for treating and/or compensating subjects who are harmed as a consequence of participation in the research study.
In clinical trials, the protocol must also describe appropriate arrangements for post-trial provisions.
23.The research protocol must be submitted for consideration, comment, guidance and approval to the concerned research ethics committee before the study begins. This committee must be transparent in its functioning, must be independent of the researcher, the sponsor and any other undue influence and must be duly qualified. It must take into consideration the laws and regulations of the country or countries in which the research is to be performed as well as applicable international norms and standards but these must not be allowed to reduce or eliminate any of the protections for research subjects set forth in this Declaration.
The committee must have the right to monitor ongoing studies. The researcher must provide monitoring information to the committee, especially information about any serious adverse events. No amendment to the protocol may be made without consideration and approval by the committee. After the end of the study, the researchers must submit a final report to the committee containing a summary of the study's findings and conclusions.
24.Every precaution must be taken to protect the privacy of research subjects and the confidentiality of their personal information.
25.Participation by individuals capable of giving informed consent as subjects in medical research must be voluntary. Although it may be appropriate to consult family members or community leaders, no individual capable of giving informed consent may be enrolled in a research study unless he or she freely agrees.
26.In medical research involving human subjects capable of giving informed consent, each potential subject must be adequately informed of the aims, methods, sources of funding, any possible conflicts of interest, institutional affiliations of the researcher, the anticipated benefits and potential risks of the study and the discomfort it may entail, post-study provisions and any other relevant aspects of the study. The potential subject must be informed of the right to refuse to participate in the study or to withdraw consent to participate at any time without reprisal. Special attention should be given to the specific information needs of individual potential subjects as well as to the methods used to deliver the information.
After ensuring that the potential subject has understood the information, the physician or another appropriately qualified individual must then seek the potential subject's freely-given informed consent, preferably in writing. If the consent cannot be expressed in writing, the non-written consent must be formally documented and witnessed.
All medical research subjects should be given the option of being informed about the general outcome and results of the study.
27.When seeking informed consent for participation in a research study the physician must be particularly cautious if the potential subject is in a dependent relationship with the physician or may consent under duress. In such situations the informed consent must be sought by an appropriately qualified individual who is completely independent of this relationship.
28.For a potential research subject who is incapable of giving informed consent, the physician must seek informed consent from the legally authorized representative. These individuals must not be included in a research study that has no likelihood of benefit for them unless it is intended to promote the health of the group represented by the potential subject, the research cannot instead be performed with persons capable of providing informed consent, and the research entails only minimal risk and minimal burden.
29.When a potential research subject who is deemed incapable of giving informed consent is able to give assent to decisions about participation in research, the physician must seek that assent in addition to the consent of the legally authorized representative. The potential subject's dissent should be respected.
30.Research involving subjects who are physically or mentally incapable of giving consent, for example, unconscious patients, may be done only if the physical or mental condition that prevents giving informed consent is a necessary characteristic of the research group. In such circumstances the physician must seek informed consent from the legally authorized representative. If no such representative is available and if the research cannot be delayed, the study may proceed without informed consent provided that the specific reasons for involving subjects with a condition that renders them unable to give informed consent have been stated in the research protocol and the study has been approved by a research ethics committee. Consent to remain in the research must be obtained as soon as possible from the subject or a legally authorized representative.
31.The physician must fully inform the patient which aspects of their care are related to the research. The refusal of a patient to participate in a study or the patient's decision to withdraw from the study must never adversely affect the patient-physician relationship.
32.For medical research using identifiable human material or data, such as research on material or data contained in biobanks or similar repositories, physicians must seek informed consent for its collection, storage and/or reuse. There may be exceptional situations where consent would be impossible or impracticable to obtain for such research. In such situations the research may be done only after consideration and approval of a research ethics committee.
Use of Placebo
33.The benefits, risks, burdens and effectiveness of a new intervention must be tested against those of the best proven intervention(s), except in the following circumstances:
Where no proven intervention exists, the use of placebo, or no intervention, is acceptable; or
Where for compelling and scientifically sound methodological reasons the use of any intervention less effective than the best proven one, the use of placebo, or no intervention is necessary to determine the efficacy or safety of an intervention and the patients who receive any intervention less effective than the best proven one, placebo, or no intervention will not be subject to additional risks of serious or irreversible harm as a result of not receiving the best proven intervention.
Extreme care must be taken to avoid abuse of this option.
Post-Trial Provisions
34.In advance of a clinical trial, sponsors, researchers and host country governments should make provisions for post-trial access for all participants who still need an intervention identified as beneficial in the trial. This information must also be disclosed to participants during the informed consent process.
Research Registration and Publication and Dissemination of Results
35.Every research study involving human subjects must be registered in a publicly accessible database before recruitment of the first subject.
36.Researchers, authors, sponsors, editors and publishers all have ethical obligations with regard to the publication and dissemination of the results of research. Researchers have a duty to make publicly available the results of their research on human subjects and are accountable for the completeness and accuracy of their reports. All parties should adhere to accepted guidelines for ethical reporting. Negative and inconclusive as well as positive results must be published or otherwise made publicly available. Sources of funding, institutional affiliations and conflicts of interest must be declared in the publication. Reports of research not in accordance with the principles of this Declaration should not be accepted for publication.
Unproven Interventions in Clinical Practice
37.In the treatment of an individual patient, where proven interventions do not exist or other known interventions have been ineffective, the physician, after seeking expert advice, with informed consent from the patient or a legally authorized representative, may use an unproven intervention if in the physician's judgement it offers hope of saving life, re-establishing health or alleviating suffering. This intervention should subsequently be made the object of research, designed to evaluate its safety and efficacy. In all cases, new information must be recorded and, where appropriate, made publicly available.

2. APA's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) as a publication of Iranian Society of Pharmacognosy, is committed to apply ethics of research, based on American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, in psychological studies. You may find the journal's Ethical Principles for Psychological Research, here.
3. Conflict of Interest
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) as a publication of Iranian Society of Pharmacognosy, is committed to apply ICMJE recommendation on "Author Responsibilities-Conflicts of Interest" in authors' conflict of interest issues.
Authors should disclose, at the time of submission, information on financial conflicts of interest or other interests that may influence the manuscript. Authors should declare sources of funding for the work undertaken, too. Therefore, completion and signing the ICMJE Form for Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest is necessary for all authors and the articles submission won't be accepted without filling this form.
Conflicts of Interest Policy in Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP)
Public trust in the peer-review process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how well conflict of interest is handled during writing, peer review, and editorial decision making. Conflict of interest exists when an author (or the author's institution), reviewer, or editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influence (bias) his or her actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or competing loyalties). These relationships vary from negligible to great potential for influencing judgment. Not all relationships represent true conflict of interest. On the other hand, the potential for conflict of interest can exist regardless of whether an individual believes that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment. Financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, and paid expert testimony) are the most easily identifiable conflicts of interest and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and of science itself. However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as personal relationships, academic competition, and intellectual passion.
All participants in Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP)'s peer-review and publication process must disclose all relationships that could be viewed as potential conflicts of interest. Disclosure of such relationships is also important in connection with editorials and review articles, because it can be more difficult to detect bias in these types of publications than in reports of original research. Editors may use information disclosed in conflict-of-interest and financial interest statements as a basis for editorial decisions. The Journal editors should publish this information if they believe it is important in judging the manuscript.
1. Potential Conflicts of Interest Related to Individual Authors' Commitments
When authors submit a manuscript, whether an article or a letter, they are responsible for disclosing all financial and personal relationships that might bias their work. To prevent ambiguity, authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist. Authors should do so in the manuscript on a conflict-of-interest notification page that follows the title page, providing additional detail, if necessary, in a cover letter that accompanies the manuscript.
Authors should identify Individuals who provide writing or other assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance. Investigators must disclose potential conflicts to study participants and should state in the manuscript whether they have done so. Editors also need to decide whether to publish information disclosed by authors about potential conflicts. If doubt exists, it is best to err on the side of publication.
2. Potential Conflicts of Interest Related to Project Support
Increasingly, individual studies receive funding from commercial firms, private foundations, and government. The conditions of this funding have the potential to bias and otherwise discredit the research.
Scientists have an ethical obligation to submit creditable research results for publication. Moreover, as the persons directly responsible for their work, researchers should not enter into agreements that interfere with their access to the data and their ability to analyze them independently, and to prepare and publish manuscripts. Authors should describe the role of the study sponsor, if any, in study design; collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; writing the report; and the decision to submit the report for publication. If the supporting source had no such involvement, the authors should so state. Biases potentially introduced when sponsors are directly involved in research are analogous to methodological biases. In such cases, therefore, Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) editors choose to include information in the Methods section about the sponsor's involvement.
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) editors may request that authors of a study funded by an agency with a proprietary or financial interest in the outcome sign a statement, such as "I had full access to all of the data in this study and I take complete responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis." The editors will review copies of the protocol and/or contracts associated with project-specific studies before accepting such studies for publication. The journal's editors may choose not to consider an article if a sponsor has asserted control over the authors' right to publish.
3. Potential Conflicts of Interest Related to Commitments of Editors, Journal Staff, or Reviewers
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) editors avoid selecting external peer reviewers with obvious potential conflicts of interest, for example, those who work in the same department or institution as any of the authors. Authors often provide editors with the names of persons they feel should not be asked to review a manuscript because of potential, usually professional, conflicts of interest. When possible, authors may be asked to explain or justify their concerns; that information is important to editors in deciding whether to honor such requests.
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) reviewers must disclose to the journal editors any conflicts of interest that could bias their opinions of the manuscript, and they should recuse themselves from reviewing specific manuscripts if the potential for bias exists. As in the case of authors, silence on the part of reviewers concerning potential conflicts may mean either that conflicts exist and the reviewer has failed to disclose them or conflicts do not exist. Reviewers must therefore also be asked to state explicitly whether conflicts do or do not exist. Reviewers must not use knowledge of the work, before its publication, to further their own interests.
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy (RJP) editors who make final decisions about manuscripts must have no personal, professional, or financial involvement in any of the issues they might judge. Other members of the editorial staff, if they participate in editorial decisions, must provide editors with a current description of their financial interests (as they might relate to editorial judgments) and recuse themselves from any decisions in which a conflict of interest exists. Editorial staff must not use information gained through working with manuscripts for private gain. The journal editors should publish regular disclosure statements about potential conflicts of interests related to the commitments of journal staff.


I_Site is the fleet management system developed by Toyota over 10 years ago, with currently around 70.000 forklifts online. I_Site hardware consists of a telematics unit and additional onboard sensors on forklifts. This allows your fleet to be connected to your back office via an ERP system, and to the Toyota back office systems.
And you can collect all this information by accessing the web portal on your laptop or other mobile devices.
By connecting all trucks within a fleet, and transferring the data from the forklift to a telematics platform, you get a fleet management solution. Within this solution, you get access to a fleet list of all the trucks within your operations, and thanks to the data coming from the hardware on the trucks, the activity of these trucks can be monitored and analysed.
Fleet management is a unique way to effectively manage material handling operations by monitoring all truck activities. Fleet management allows you to focus on different aspects of your operations such as safety, operator standards and utilisation levels. Then you can decide to take steps such as additional training, sharing of information with drivers or better truck availability planning to improve efficiency and reduce cost in your operations.
With a fleet management system accurately measuring performance levels in your warehouse, data can be collected to help you to understand what is actually happening on your warehouse floor.
One example of further innovations can be fleet benchmarking, which will enable operators to compare, for example, utilisation and shock performance levels with those of other fleet users.
What is the fleet management solution from Toyota, I_Site?
I_Site is the fleet management system first developed by Toyota over 10 years ago, with currently more than 70,000 forklifts online. I_Site hardware consists of a telematics unit and additional onboard sensors on forklifts. This allows your fleet to be connected to your back office via an ERP system, and to the Toyota back office systems.
We have already built a population of more than 70,000 smart trucks in operation, with approximately 250,000 operators on its I_Site platform. The Toyota group is using over 16,500 trucks in more than 650 factories worldwide – so we share the same challenges and opportunities that our customers face. We believe in leading by example.
Information from connected or Smart Trucks via I_Site technology can be used to monitor and improve all aspects of logistics operations, such as safety, energy and service. The data is available via the I_Site web portal or mobile app where a wide range of information can be accessed. You can access information about truck utilisation levels, battery charge status, and several other factors that give a complete overview of your operations.
The possibility to access the data online anytime is perfect when you are on the move or working remotely.
What does the truck fleet management solution cost and how do I upgrade to I_Site?
Since the telematics hardware is built into warehouse trucks from Toyota as standard, these machines are available as smart trucks at no extra cost. This means you will have an overview of all forklifts in your operations, as well as their operating hours.
If you wish to get the most out of your smart trucks and access all the information the telematics system is able to provide you, then upgrading is an option. With a small monthly subscription you can access the full functionality of I_Site fleet management, without any additional installation of hardware.
When upgrading, an activation charge per truck and subscription rate per truck per month is included.
- MyFleet package: a summary report with your machines' performance, based on telematics and Toyota internal systems.
Which areas of my business will a Toyota smart truck improve?
With a smart truck from Toyota you will be able to improve you productivity, your health and safety, the safety for your driver and it will give your forklift longer machine life. A smart truck will give you control and be able to lower your cost.
Improved machine utilisation: Toyota's existing I_Site data, derived from all connected smart trucks already in operation, shows that most companies can eliminate substantial waste in resource by improving utilisation levels. This will probably result in fewer truck requirement levels for many of our customers, as they start to use data to improve truck planning, but we recognise this to be the responsible route to take as resource suppliers and business partners.
Smart benchmarking to assess and compare truck performance across different sites.
Risk prevention: You can control the speed of your truck, and make sure trucks are temporarily disabled after a collision, to prevent accidents from happening and keep your drivers from being injured.
Shock monitoring: Thanks to the shock sensors you can have an overview of the impacts registered, when and where they happened, and at which speed. You can make sure trucks go into creep speed after an impact, only able to perform at full capacity again after being reset by authorised personnel.
Longer machine lifetime: by optimising operational efficiency of the trucks.
Energy efficiency: thanks to the possibility to monitor and optimise battery use, for longer battery lifetime.
Limit operational cost with the possibility to track utilisation and optimise fleet size where necessary.
Avoid damage cost thanks to the safety features.
Lower maintenance cost by monitoring the way equipment is being handled.
Lower insurance cost by preventing accidents.
How does integrated telematics on a smart truck contribute to a better service?
Via I_Site you are able to directly request a service via the app. You can get in direct contact with a service team, and even add a picture and/or a message. Service cost data is also available, connecting to Toyota's service data systems.
Telematics can also be used to prepare and support technicians in a better way. Our focus is on how innovation and connectivity can improve service for our customers as well as our technicians.
Among the benefits is the possibility to connect it with Toyota's new mobile service platform for technicians, T-Stream. This service tool can integrate the data from connected trucks to the service technician, improving service efficiency. Allowing streamlined servicing of connected trucks, with remote updates and activity-based maintenance, resulting in lower downtime and overall cost.
Field technicians who are armed with real-time insights can ensure factory equipment operates correctly and efficiently, which results in lower repair costs. Soon, smart trucks will provide technicians with the possibility to service equipment before a customer even knows they need it. By identifying technical issues before they even happen customers will experience higher machine utilisation and elimination of downtime.
In the future, we will be able to change our business model completely in function of the customer needs, to advise and support you in the best way thanks to data provided by telematics. Connected trucks will also allow Toyota to move towards predictive service, repairing your trucks before anything can happen, aiming for zero breakdowns.
You can manage operational costs, utilisation of your trucks and damage cost.
You can analyse reports to optimise your operations.
I_Site contributes to safety compliance and risk prevention with access control and shock sensors.
You can optimise the utilisation of your truck and batteries, as well as their lifetime.


Last month, David Reich and colleagues Reich:Denisova:2011 reported on estimates of Denisovan ancestry for island and mainland Asian populations. Their most memorable conclusion was that they could find no substantial sign of Denisovan ancestry anywhere on the Asian mainland, or indeed on any island that had ever been connected by land to Asia.
Notice the apparent lack of Denisovan ancestry in anyone who lives anywhere that was once connected by land with mainland Asia. I say "apparent" deliberately: Abi-Rached and colleagues reported last month on the widespread distribution of Denisovan HLA types among today's Asian populations, and those may well be products of Denisovan genes that were later selected. I've already identified a handful of other loci that seem to reflect Denisovan ancestry in mainland Asian people. According to the comparisons by Reich and colleagues, such loci must be exceptions.
Abi-Rached and colleagues Abi-Rached:2011 had argued that HLA alleles found in the Denisovan genome are presently common in some parts of Asia, and likely reflect local adaptive introgression. Substantial introgression of a small number of genes would not be enough to create a strong genome-wide appearance of Denisovan ancestry. Still, it was a little odd that the first genes anybody looked closely at would provide strong evidence of introgression.
Now, Pontus Skoglund and Mattias Jakobsson Skoglund:Jakobsson:2011 say that Denisovan ancestry is widespread across China and Southeast Asia.
That conclusion contradicts Reich and colleagues, so why do the studies come to such different results?
Skoglund and Jakobsson suggest that they have succeeded in finding introgression where others failed because their model accounts for ascertainment bias in the available datasets. SNP data come from genotyping chips, which have been designed using known polymorphisms. Five years ago, we knew much more about polymorphisms in Europe than other parts of the world, and so the HGDP, and HapMap to a lesser extent, do a good job of sampling rare alleles in Europe but miss many rare alleles in Africa and other populations. This is the ascertainment bias.
Some of the most obvious signs of introgression today are cases where rare alleles are shared with an archaic genome. If ascertainment bias causes you to miss the rare alleles, you'll miss the introgression.
But that explanation isn't really sufficient to explain the differences between these papers. For one thing, Reich and colleagues Reich:Denisova:2011 also worked hard to account for ascertainment biases in their SNP samples. For another, whole genome comparisons between East Asian samples and the Denisova genome have not yielded evidence of Denisovan ancestry, even though whole genomes have no ascertainment bias. The number of whole genomes so far compared is very small, and so the statistical ability to detect introgression is lower, but Skoglund and Jakobsson actually replicate that null result in their current paper.
Quantitative estimation of the precise fraction of Denisova-related ancestry in Southeast Asian populations based on genotype data are unfortunately sensitive to ascertainment bias and genetic drift, and such estimates will require genome sequence data that are currently unavailable. However, both the PCA results (Fig. 1B) and the approximately six times lower absolute values of the D statistic in tests between Northeast Asians and Southeast Asians compared with tests between Northeast Asians and Oceanians (Table S4) indicate a relatively low fraction of Denisova-related ancestry. Thus, the fraction is likely to be smaller than both the ~5% fraction of Denisova-related ancestry present in Oceanians and the ~2.5% fraction of Neandertal ancestry present in non-Africans (23, 24), perhaps around 1%.
One percent is an amount that whole genome comparisons at present do not rule out, and I think it's a reasonable guess. I would not have thought we could rule out a one percent contribution from other, non-Denisovan archaic people, for example. We aren't very far from a more definitive answer of this question, as the data continue to accumulate every day. What I find interesting is the way that models can generate these 1% differences in ancestry proportions, depending on sampling and the pattern of migration assumed to have happened in the past. Two estimates that differ by less than a percent are not really different. This paper provides the suggestion of a more widespread Denisovan legacy, and I accept that as a possibility. I should mention: less than one percent of a half billion people is still a very large number, added to five percent of the indigenous population of New Guinea and Australia, and smaller fractions of other island populations. The total amount of Denisovan legacy present in living people probably exceeds the population of Earth at the time the Denisovans lived.


Home » Bollywood News » Ajay Devgn VS Sidharth Malhotra: De De Pyaar De Or Jabariya Jodi? A Comical War At The Box Office!
Only time will tell which out of the two will roar with its laughter harder at the box office, and we can't wait for this clash to happen!
With multiple movies releasing on the same date, Bollywood in recent has witnessed a lot of clashes at the box office. Another addition to the tug of war is between our Singham Ajay Devgn & The student (of the year), Sidharth Malhotra as De De Pyaar De and Jabariya Jodi are slated for a release on the same date, May 17.
While we have seen biopics like (Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi – Thackeray), movies having a touch of patriotism (Gold – Satyameva Jayate) in recent that released and flourished together but this one's going to be extra special as the audience will witness a comical war.
On one hand, we have De De Pyaar De, which along with Ajay Devgn, stars Rakul Preet as the female lead and Tabu in a pivotal role. It is a rom-com which is set in an urban space. Being a Luv Ranjan production (the director-producer who's tickled our funny bones with some amazing work in movies like Pyaar Ka Punchnama & Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety), with the combination of a terrific actor like Ajay, we're dead sure to be laughing our hearts out in this one, and there's no doubt in it!
Meanwhile, the other side is no less. Jabariya Jodi will witness sizzling chemistry between Sidharth Malhotra & Parineeti Chopra. The movie is set in a rural area and will explore the concept of forced marriage practices. We all know how desi Parineeti can get, plus we have Ekta Kapoor backing the project. So this one is going to be quite unique yet interesting too!
Only time will tell which out of the two will roar with its laughter harder at the box office, and we can't wait for this clash to happen! Are y'all excited?

Michael Fallon resigns as defence secretary as new sleaze claims emerge
No 10 fears more ministers may be forced out by growing scandal
Francis Elliott, Political Editor | Sam Coates | Deborah Haynes
November 2 2017, 12:01am, The Times
Allies said that Sir Michael feared more allegations would emergeTolga Akemn/AFP/Getty Images
Sir Michael Fallon resigned as defence secretary last night amid suggestions of inappropriate behaviour towards female journalists.
The sexual harassment scandal engulfing Westminster claimed its first cabinet casualty when Sir Michael, 65, admitted that his personal conduct had "fallen below the high standards we require of the armed forces". He stood down with immediate effect.
He appeared to have weathered an apology issued this week for repeatedly putting his hand on the journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer's knee during a party conference in 2002. Ms Hartley-Brewer, 49, had dismissed the incident as "mildly amusing" and said that she did not think he should resign.
Allies of the former defence secretary said that he had resigned because he was unable to guarantee that there would not be more…
