Frank Lloyd Wright’s works are great testimonies of architecture being true to itself. Wright deployed natural materials like stone and slate and the whole picture came together as a prodigious depiction of what the architect and the building set out to achieve. A study of his approach to design will reveal lessons in understanding the relationship between Man, Nature and Ar. Lalichan Zacharias Ar. Gita Balakrishnan Architecture. To commemorate Wright’s birthday which was on 8 June, we are delighted to present an essay by Ar. Prem Chandavarkar as a feature in this issue. As Architect Buckminister Fuller said, Integrity or Honesty is the Essence of everything Successful. Ar. Brijesh Saijal Dr. Shilpa Sharma It’s very important that as architects, we should be trusted by our clients and all the different stakeholders that we interact with. And that trust is the foundation for the relationship between the different role players. Being honest and true to our profession, playing by the rules to succeed in 7 our professional life are tools and important building blocks to build a career that we can be proud of. Let us create a Practice which gains respect from all and can be emulated by others. The theme for the month is HONESTY. Ar. Manguesh R. Ar. Mukul Goyal Prabhugaonker We are happy to include a dialogue between Ar. Christopher Benninger and Ar. Kaiwan Mehta in this issue. The Journal would like to carry good practices, issues and challenges in the newly introduced section for Education. We also call upon members who work in various government, semi-public or private offices to contribute articles on their experiences, challenges and opportunities in those sectors. We invite members to submit features on Dr. Pratheek Ar.

K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • District Disaster Management Plan- Udupi
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN- UDUPI UDUPI DISTRICT 2015-16 -1- -2- Executive Summary The District Disaster Management Plan is a key part of an emergency management. It will play a significant role to address the unexpected disasters that occur in the district effectively. The information available in DDMP is valuable in terms of its use during disaster. Based on the history of various disasters that occur in the district, the plan has been so designed as an action plan rather than a resource book. Utmost attention has been paid to make it handy, precise rather than bulky one. This plan has been prepared which is based on the guidelines from the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM). While preparing this plan, most of the issues, relevant to crisis management, have been carefully dealt with. During the time of disaster there will be a delay before outside help arrives. At first, self-help is essential and depends on a prepared community which is alert and informed. Efforts have been made to collect and develop this plan to make it more applicable and effective to handle any type of disaster. The DDMP developed touch upon some significant issues like Incident Command System (ICS), In fact, the response mechanism, an important part of the plan is designed with the ICS. It is obvious that the ICS, a good model of crisis management has been included in the response part for the first time. It has been the most significant tool for the response manager to deal with the crisis within the limited period and to make optimum use of the available resources.

    Mahsheena KM, J Cytol Histol 2018, Volume 9 DOI: 10.4172/2157-7099-C1-014 4th International Conference on Cytopathology & Histopathology August 29-30, 2018 | Boston, USA The validity of immunocytochemistry in differentiating between benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms pre-operatively Mahsheena KM Aster MIMS hospital, India Preface: FNAC is the most commonly used diagnostic modality for the pre-operative assessment of thyroid neoplasms. However, FNAC, when used alone, has its own pitfalls including the inability to differentiate between benign and malignant follicular neoplasms, difficulty in identifying a follicular variant of papillary carcinoma etc. This study addresses the issue of whether preferential overexpression of galectin-3 in thyroid malignancies can serve to make a presurgical diagnosis between benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms on FNAC. The other marker used was TTF-1, to identify the thyroid origin of the neoplastic cells. Objective: To estimate the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of galectin-3 and TTF-1 in detecting malignant neoplasms of the thyroid on FNA smears. Study Sample: FNA smears of solitary thyroid nodules taken at the Cytopathology division in the Department of Pathology, Aster MIMS hospital Calicut a tertiary health care system were analyzed from June 2016 to July 2017. Study Method: Immunocytochemistry was performed with galectin-3 and TTF-1 on fresh FNA smears by the standard protocol. Positive staining for galectin-3 was considered when any single epithelial cell showed cytoplasmic or nucleo- cytoplasmic immunostaining. Positive staining for TTF-1 was considered when any single epithelial cell showed nuclear immunostaining. Postoperative histological diagnosis represented the gold-standard. Results: Out of the total 39 cases Gal-3 positivity was seen in 100% (16/16) cases of malignancy and 9% (2/22) cases of benign thyroid lesions.
