Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is characterised by the loss of pigmented neurones in the substantia nigra, leading to reduced tyrosine hydroxylase activity and depletion of dopamine. Treatments attempt to correct this deficit by the use of levodopa and inhibitors of dopamine metabolising enzymes such as catechol-O-methytransferase (COMT). A common amino-acid polymorphism in COMT, valine-108-methionine, results in a low activity form of the enzyme which we hypothesised may influence susceptibility to IPD. We examined this polymorphism in 139 Caucasian subjects with IPD and 173 control subjects, using a PCR-RFLP and a novel Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS) assay. Allele and genotype frequencies were similar in the affected and control subjects, indicating that variation of COMT activity is not an aetiological factor in IPD. We have also characterised a new polymorphism, 256C/G, which is not associated with IPD. However it remains possible that allelic variation in COMT influences severity, type of pathology or treatment response to levodopa or COMT inhibitors. ᭧

Information Technology had great impact on different industries; tourism is not exempted from that. In almost all the countries had adopted new technologies for attracting tourists. Kerala is also travelling in the same way. The Kerala Government Tourism Department have offer several tourism services through on-line and government claim that they offer better services than the others. So it is very important to know whether the tourists are satisfied or not. In this research focuses on the tourists perception towards the Kerala Tourism website services as well as to know the Information technology has any significant role in Kerala tourism industry. The study has two objectives i.e., to study the perception of tourist towards the technological 1

Objective: To analyse rugby athletes' judgement knowledge and decisions-made where there is the potential to minimise error and prevent injury. Material and methods: A prospective cohort of 300 rugby athletes participated in the Division 2A Senior Rugby All-Ireland Championships in the period of 2010 – 2011. The athletes came from the Dublin University Football Club and opposing Clubs, ten match fixtures videoed, injury data were collated with informed consent obtained. Results: Time durations for the scrum had a mean throw in – clearance of 3.128s (SD 2.109), the tackle, mean clearance time 4.135s (SD 3.0320) and the lineout, mean throw in – clearance 4.072s (SD 3.2584). On space dimensions the scrum, short-arm binding was preferred, Fisher's exact test: p-value = 0.094 and variations in alignment, p-value = 0.056. Of the injury data a Chi-squared test, confirmed significant differences p < 0.05 with the hooker compared to the locks in the scrum 33.156 for cervical and lumbar spinal injuries respectively. In open play, loose forwards sustained cervical injuries, p < 0.05 due to the tackle compared to midfield backs 28.917 with lower limb injuries attributed to running and being tackled. Conclusion: Judgement analysis on the scrum, tackle, and lineout showed consistent delays in recovery and completion from ball clearances respectively. Variations in alignments occurred with inconsistencies at the post-set in the scrum. In contrast applying Judgement knowledge with reference to the Laws of the Game there is the potential to minimise error and prevent injury.

Automotive infotainment devices are referred to equipment which provides entertainment and information including systems for connectivity, navigation, fuel efficiency, safety and audio. Earlier information related to weather and news radio was provided in cars, advancements in electronics and telecommunication industry have led to emergence of automotive infotainment devices which address customer priorities based on navigation, maintenance, and safety among the others.
