    Abstract This article illuminates the patterns and processes of institutional work during the creation and implementation of the FRA 2006, even as state agencies consistently resist changes in legal institutions, and continue to retain control over forestry matters through non-statutory institutions - a strategy to subvert local people’s control over the valued forest resources.The study demonstrates how ‘institutional work’ proceeded through different stages of drafting of the Act, revolving around competing demands of entitlements, leading to creation of a new institutional mechanism. Although non-state actors such as civil society organisations were actively engaged in crafting the law, their role has weakened as implementation has progressed. The state’s increasing activity frustrates reform implementation, as the reforms challenge the foresters’ bureaucratic culture and threaten their politico-economic interests. It concludes with insights for theoretical understanding on how and why institutions change, or are maintained, in case of multi-actor and multi-layered forest governance systems.

    Abstract In a recent paper Das et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 147, 164102 (2017)JCPSA60021-960610.1063/1.4999408] proposed the Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) for the Brownian harmonic oscillator in the presence of a magnetic field and the non-Markovian thermal bath, respectively. This system has been studied very recently by Hidalgo-Gonzalez and Jiménez-Aquino [Phys. Rev. E 100, 062102 (2019)PREHBM2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.100.062102] and the Fokker-Planck equation was derived using the characteristic function. It includes a few extra terms in the FPE and the authors conclude that their method is accurate compared to the calculation by Das et al. Then we reexamine our calculation and which is present in this comment. The revised calculation shows that both methods give the same result.

    Abstract This paper critically assesses the institutional structure of the Benefit Sharing Mechanism (BSM) under the Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in the global south, managing forest sustainably to conserve carbon (REDD+) in India. Moreover, this paper examines the problems and prospects of livelihood enhancement of the local community. The findings of the study indicate that the intervention of the carbon market promotes the neoliberal capitalist agenda which can adversely impact the livelihood of local communities through forest grabbing. The proposed top-down centralized model of BSM can hinder its effectiveness and increase leakage. At the local level, the existing institution of Joint Forest Management (JFM) in India failed to achieve sustainability and decentralized right-based forest management systems. Our work has led us to conclude without safeguarding the rights of local communities and securing basic necessities for local forest-dependent communities, livelihood enhancement would not be possible.

    Abstract Introduction: Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of acquiring the COVID-19 disease, if there is a breach in the personal protection while managing patients.
    Objectives: 1. To estimate the pattern of risk exposure among healthcare workers exposed to confirmed cases of COVID-19 working in non-COVID zones of a Teaching Hospital, North-East India. 2. To determine the association between pattern of exposure with their COVID-19 status.
    Materials and method: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted among all HCWs who had occupational exposure to laboratory confirmed COVID-19 cases between July and September 2020 in-non COVID zones of a major tertiary care hospital in Tripura.
    Results: The present study showed that 215 HCWs were exposed to confirmed cases of COVID-19 while working in non-COVID zones of the hospital. Among the exposed, 39.5% of HCWs had high-risk exposure and 8.8% of HCWs were detected as COVID-19 positive. A majority of the study subjects experienced exposure in the hospital wards (66.0%), in surgical departments (19.5%), had close contact (less than one meter distance) with positive COVID-19 cases (73.5%), and had an exposure of more than 15 minutes (51.2%). The COVID status of the exposed HCWs was significantly associated with no source control (
    Conclusion: Strict enforcement of the infection control measures like universal precautions should be practiced by HCWs to prevent hospital-acquired infections.

    Abstract Background: Since its detection in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China, the COVID-19 pandemic has grappled the world. Laboratories have been central in the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic monitoring of COVID-19 patients. With this pandemic spreading, laboratory personnel have become vital in the efforts to halt the advance of the virus. Aims and Objective: In this article, we will address various concerns in all the three phases of testing of the COVID-19 blood and serum samples in a clinical chemistry laboratory and discuss the issues pertaining to a resource-limited setting. Materials and Methods: International, national and regional guidelines on bio-safety and operational management available at the time of preparation of this manuscript were analyzed. Additionally, literature search through PubMed was done on the keywords “bio-safety”, “pre-analytical”, “analytical”, “post-analytical” and “COVID-19”. Results: The pre-analytical, analytical, post analytical, general management problems we faced in our laboratory and the best practices that we followed to address the same has been included in this paper. Conclusion: Some unprecedented challenges the laboratories have encountered during this outbreak are maintaining the lab safety of highest standards, management of human resource while sustaining the quality of testing. Laboratories will have to constantly innovate in order to meet the demands of this outbreak.

    Abstract Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the ampulla of Vater are extremely rare. Here, we discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and treatment options of a recently experienced case of NET of the ampulla of Vater in light of the literature. A 56-year-old woman presented with recurrent upper abdominal pain. Ultrasonography (USG) of the whole abdomen showed multiple gallstones along with a dilated common bile duct (CBD). For evaluating the dilated CBD, a magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was performed, which revealed the double-duct sign. Subsequently, an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a bulged-out ampulla of the Vater. Biopsy and histopathological examination of the growth yielded the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. A Whipple procedure was performed. Macroscopically, a 2 cm growth was noted involving the ampulla of Vater, and microscopic findings were consistent with a well-differentiated NET, grade 1 (low grade). The diagnosis was further confirmed by immunohistochemical staining (pan-cytokeratin positive, synaptophysin positive, and focally chromogranin positive). Her postoperative course was uneventful except for delayed gastric emptying. A detailed evaluation and a high index of suspicion are required for the diagnosis of this rare tumor. Treatment is relatively easier after a proper diagnosis.

    Abstract Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a rare pancreatic tumor, usually affecting young females. It is categorized as a low-grade malignant tumor without any specific epithelial differentiation, which can occur anywhere in the pancreas.
    Case presentation: Here, we present the case of a 35-year-old lady who presented to us with abdominal pain and a pancreatic mass. She had a prior laparotomy at a different center without any specific intervention for the lump. After presenting to our center, she was managed through proper evaluation and adequate preparation for surgery. The diagnosis was challenging, and so was the surgery. We had enucleated the lesion completely. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of SPN. There are no signs of recurrence after two years.
    Discussion: Patients are either asymptomatic or usually present with abdominal pain, a large abdominal lump, or some vague symptoms. A high index of suspicion is the key to diagnosis. Complete resection is the gold standard of treatment. Enucleation is also a good option in difficult cases. The prognosis after surgery is excellent.
    Conclusion: Total enucleation of the SPN of the pancreas is a reasonable alternative in selected cases when performed by experienced hepatobiliary-pancreatic surgeons.

    Abstract Mechanochromic luminescent materials, exhibiting a change in luminescence behavior under external stimuli have emerged as one of the promising candidates for upcoming efficient OLEDs. Recently mechanochromic luminescence was reported in a donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) triad featuring two phenothiazine units separated by a dibenzo[a,j]phenazine motif. The triad follows different emissive routes ranging from phosphorescence to TADF based on the conformational switching of the D units. In this article, we investigate such conformation-dependent photophysical behavior of this triad through theoretical calculations. By analyzing the nature of ground state, excited state and factors determining the reverse ISC crossing rates associated with the relative orientation of the D and A units, we delineate the effect of the conformational changes on their photophysical properties. Our findings reveal that axial orientation of both the donor groups enhances the overlap between HOMO and LUMO leading to a large singlet-triplet gap (
