Parikarthika: The Most Misinterpreted Disease of Present Times
Authors: Jayaram Anumarlapudi , Kumar Yarlagadda Narendra
Published: April 2021

In the present day of interdisciplinary references, investigations and patient consultations, it is necessary that any modern equivalent term should depict the exact disease our Acharyas meant it to be, so that all the Ayurvedic practitioners understand the same disease while referring to a modern term and the principles followed accordingly. Unfortunately some diseases are misinterpreted and the treatment followed is not as per Ayurvedic texts but what the modern term means. One such disease is Parikarthika, which is represented as fissure-in-ano but in fact is Proctitis. Here an attempt is made to restrict its use strictly to the disease our Acharyas mentioned and to follow the principles accordingly, for successful propagation of the system.
Bored with school! Bored with life? Well-being characteristics associated with a school boredom mindset
Authors: Furlong Michael , Smith Douglas C. , Springer Tina , Dowdy Erin
Published: April 2021

Students’ experiences of boredom at school are receiving increased research attention. Most inquiries to date have focused on how often students experience boredom in classroom situations and in specific subject areas. Despite its frequency, limited research efforts have explored how students’ boredom experiences might inform positive education initiatives. This paper examines students’ school boredom experiences from a positive education lens through which school mental health professionals can evaluate students’ school boredom experiences systematically. We introduce the School Boredom Mindset (SBM) concept that identifies a subset of high-risk students expressing unfavorable school attitudes. A preliminary analysis of 2,331 California secondary (Grades 7-12) students’ responses on well-being indicators explored the SBM’s viability. The findings show that students with the strongest SBM reported substantially lower well-being than their peers. The discussion offers suggestions for future research needed to evaluate the SBM concept’s meaning and the value of its contribution to positive education. While this research moves forward, we provide practitioners with resources to better evaluate students’ boring feelings at school and consider its meaning within the broader effort of fostering thriving well-being
A Scoping Review of Life Design Intervention Research: Implications for Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice
Authors: Lewis Bradley , Domene José F.
Published: April 2021

The recently developed paradigm in career counselling known as life design has caused a proliferation of new interventions. A scoping study was performed to provide an overview of empirical support for the effectiveness of these interventions. Twelve articles that evaluate the efficacy of eight interventions were found. Interventions included individual and group forms of the Career Construction Interview and My Career Story. Others were group-based life design interventions, the Career Construction Genogram, an online-based life design intervention, and a classroom intervention designed for elementary children. Career adaptability was the most commonly evaluated outcome and participants were most commonly from Italy, with no study using North American participants. Experimental or quasi-experimental research designs were most frequently used, while several articles reported on case studies. The authors recommend that future research balance case studies and experimental designs and that further research should validate findings with Canadian populations. This article notes the synergistic potential of engaging with social constructionist approaches in the broader field of counselling and psychotherapy for developing new interventions.

Authors: Araújo Sousa Francisco das Chagas
Published: April 2021

A Educação Física, assim como diversas áreas da ciência que produzem ou não literatura científica, parte de diversos construtos já fundamentados nas Ciências Naturais e/ou Humanas para construir conhecimento, métodos e intervenções. Assim podemos definir a Educação Física como uma ciência “Multi” ou “Inter” disciplinar. Justificando afirmação que a Educação Física é “colonizada” epistemologicamente por outras áreas do conhecimento. Nesse sentido, pesquisas na área de saúde com uma plural abordagem frente ao movimento humano, tem sido o principal foco dessa área do conhecimento. Pesquisas nessa direção são importantes ferramentas para o entendimento mais amplo dos benefícios e possibilidades do movimento humano em prol da saúde, em seu conceito mais amplo. Adicionalmente, é fundamental para identificação de problemas e direcionamentos para as múltiplas abordagens frente a sua resolubilidade, de modo mais específico, como uma tomada de decisão em um dia de trabalho em sua prática profissional, ou mais amplos, como, os direcionamentos de políticas públicas de saúde. Com isso, tem se verificado um crescimento exponencial de pesquisas na perspectiva de movimento humano e seus impactos a saúde. Ademais, é observado uma mobilização de promoção do Exercício Físico, por meio dos mais diversos meios de comunicação.

Authors: Ammulu Dr K.
Published: April 2021

Agriculture is playing vital role for the survival of mankind but due to lack of knowledge and decision support will leading us toward less production in our country. Data are analyzed and got clustered according to the requirement of the user which predict the better scenario for the production of the respective crop. Artificial Intelligence (AI) entered into Indian Agriculture and it is affecting our society at large. Even though machine learning (which is a subset of AI) has been used for classifications and prediction purposes for, to cite a few, food grading and crop yield forecasting, recently, the new set of deep learning and data science algorithms shows that the possibilities of taking the research and applications of AI to much higher levels and with much more accuracy. In the same way, other AI techniques are showing ways in all areas including agriculture. AI will help the common man and also transform his thoughts, attitude and mind set towards the benefits that it may bring, there are some disadvantages of such sophisticated technologies as well. In this paper, we will discuss about using modern day AI to solve traditional farming problems, life cycle agriculture, challenges faced by farmers by using AI and applications of AI in agriculture.
DDPG Agent to Swing Up and Balance Cart- Pole System
Authors: Pandian V Buvanesh
Published: April 2021

Reinforcement learning is a mathematical framework for agents to interact intelligently with their environment. Unlike supervised learning, where a system learns with the help of labeled data, reinforcement learning agents learn how to act by trial and error only receiving a reward signal from their environments. A field where reinforcement learning has been prominently successful is robotics [3]. However, real-world control problems are also particularly challenging because of the noise and high- dimensionality of input data (e.g., visual input). In recent years, in the field of supervised learning, deep neural networks have been successfully used to extract meaning from this kind of data. Building on these advances, deep reinforcement learning was used to solve complex problems like Atari games and Go. Mnih et al. [1] built a system with fixed hyper parameters able to learn to play 49 different Atari games only from raw pixel inputs. However, in order to apply the same methods to real-world control problems, deep reinforcement learning has to be able to deal with continuous action spaces. Discretizing continuous action spaces would scale poorly, since the number of discrete actions grows exponentially with the dimensionality of the action. Furthermore, having a parametrized policy can be advantageous because it can generalize in the action space. Therefore with this thesis we study state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning algorithm, Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients. We provide a theoretical comparison to other popular methods, an evaluation of its performance, identify its limitations and investigate future directions of research.
The remainder of the thesis is organized as follows. We start by introducing the field of interest, machine learning, focusing our attention of deep learning and reinforcement learning. We continue by describing in details the two main algorithms, core of this study, namely Deep Q-Network (DQN) and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients (DDPG). We then provide implementatory details of DDPG and our test environment, followed by a description of benchmark test cases. Finally, we discuss the results of our evaluation, identifying limitations of the current approach and proposing future avenues of research.

Authors: A. Almalki Faris.
Published: April 2021

In this digital era, Internet of Everything (IoE) has a potential to bring out drastic changes to how we live today, where billions of people and devices require wireless connectivity. Where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles contribute positively in paving the way for IoE and Fifth Generation technologies, and tackle some of their comms challenges. Thus, this paper aims to provide an adaptive approach using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique by combining indoor and outdoor propagation models to enhance aerial vehicle-to-everything wireless connectivity. The proposed adaptive approach uses a GA multi-objective function that yield optimum values of UAV altitude, elevation angles, and type of building for indoor environment. The proposed GA optimization technique has met the demand of a typical dense-populated urban environment, as well as empowering the IoE with greater coverage footprint, high Quality of Service benchmark, and line-of-sight adaptability. The output results emphasized that the proposed adaptive approach using the GA technique can help in smart decision-making and selecting a proper setup and find the optimum parameters to provide seamless wireless connections from aerial vehicle-to-everything.
Enablers and Inhibitors of E-tax System Use:The Perspective of Dual-Factor Concepts
Authors: Rahman Md. Faridur , Talukder Md. Shamim , Lanrong Yang
Published: April 2021

The aim of this study is to investigate the acceptance and rejection behavior of electronic tax system at the same time. This study applied a conceptual framework focused on the dual-factor concepts of "enablers" and "inhibitors" to illustrate users' desire to exercise the e-tax system. In the dual model the Theory of Consumption Value (TCV) and Status Quo Bias (SQB) have been used to describe the reason behind consumers' accepting or rejecting the e-tax system through perceived enablers and deliberate inhibitors. A survey has been conducted in Bangladesh to collect data from 422 taxpayers, and the structural equation model was used to validate the proposed model. We find that functional value, social value, and emotional value are seen to have positive and direct impacts on the user's preference to use the e-tax system, while user’s resistance to use adversely impacts the use of the e-tax system. The results also signify that the user's resistance to using the e-tax is due to switching costs, inertia, and perceived risk. Several suggestions are provided for the practitioners to implement the e-tax system successfully by eliminating resistance factors.

Diagnosis and treatment of patients with heat-related illnesses
Authors: Ryu Ji Ho , Min Mun Ki
Published: April 2021

Heat stress disorders or heat-related illnesses are a kind of physiological damage that occurs when the body cannot dissipate enough heat due to its thermoregulatory dysfunction. This paper aims to summarize the latest information on the diagnosis and treatment of heat-related illnesses. Heat stress disorders come in a variety of forms including heat edema, heat rash, heat cramps, heat syncope, heat tetany, severe heat exhaustion, and life-threatening heatstroke. Major risk factors may include excessive exercise, continuous exposure to high temperatures or humid environments, lack of acclimation, excessive clothing or protective equipment, obesity, and dehydration. Additional risk factors may include the patientʼs existing medical condition, environmental and personal factors, and the use of various drugs. Mild heat-related illnesses can be treated only by supportive care such as moving patients to a cool place and laying them in a supine position while elevating their legs and loosening their clothes. However, in the case of heatstroke, quickly lowering the body temperature is an essential in reducing the mortality rate. The most effective cooling method is to immerse the entire body in ice cold water.

El emprendimiento, junto a la innovación, son dos de los valores más demandados por las empresas en la actualidad y por ello las competencias asociadas son potenciadas en los grados con un claro enfoque hacia el emprendimiento. El objetivo es que el alumnado que salga de sus aulas sea capaz de emprender, y no solo en el sentido de crear una empresa, sino que tenga la capacidad de innovar en todas aquellas tareas que su desempeño profesional requiera. Sin embargo, a pesar de la clara necesidad de potenciar el emprendimiento, existen pocos ejemplos prácticos de cómo enseñar esta competencia. En este artículo presentamos una experiencia docente basada en el marco teórico proporcionado por el Modelo de la Triple Hélice, según el cual las sinergias en el emprendimiento se multiplican cuando confluyen tres ejes en la tarea de emprender: institucional, universitario y empresarial. Su objetivo ha sido acompañar al alumnado desde la idea de negocio hasta la creación de una empresa de base tecnológica, como una forma de potenciar su capacidad emprendedora y de innovación. Para llevarla a cabo se ha creado un grupo de trabajo multidisciplinar en el cual, a nivel del eje universitario, se han coordinado asignaturas de diferentes ámbitos de conocimiento: ingeniería, ciencias sociales y humanidades.

Authors: Jassim Khalid Mohammed
Published: April 2021

The study of the unrestricted interests has its importance and position, and this importance and prestige also derives from the challenges of the current era and its various requirements and incidents. It has been decided that a transfer and work, past and present, of the sending interests is an effective importance in understanding the rulings, carrying out the costs, drawing up the method of jurisprudence and applying it in all areas of life, conditions، issues and demands. It has been learned that the legal policy is the jurisprudence of interests that are required by the conditions of the nation at every time and place, and since the rules of the legal policy work in what has a special text and what is not in it, and the unrestricted interest works in what is not stipulated in it, so it is a wide field to consider the provisions of the legitimate policy and ijtihad in Its points of view in order to clarify the public interests in which the guardian works. This research shows one of the sources of deduction dependent on Islamic legislation, which is the unrestricted interest in its capacity to deal with emerging issues, which comes out of the womb of ijtihad based on looking at the purposes of the Sharia, and this is the science of Sharia policy based on interest.

SHORTFALL OF CURRENT GLOBAL EDUCATION SYSTEMS
Authors: Amunga Hellen
Published: April 2021

The permeation of information communication technology (ICT) in the educational sector cannot be underestimated. Currently, ICT integration in education is moving away from the traditional use of computers for administrative work and typing assignments to mobile learning, collaborative learning, fast sharing of information and gamification. In ideal educational set-ups at either elementary or tertiary levels, the benefits that come with ICT integration are enormous. On the other hand, the traditional challenges to quality education have never been dealt with in many educational institutions all over the world. The persistent challenge of teacher shortages, capacity and infrastructural inadequacies have ensured some educational institutions the world over churn out students who are illiterate or unable to favorably compete in the global job markets with those whose institutions are better endowed.The argument is that the above challenges can easily be solved by respective countries through public-private-people partnerships so long as there is political good will for the concerned governments. The single most current shortfall to education and the innovation in education is the lack of information ethics. This paper strives to highlight the issues surrounding this challenge as well as some suggestions on how it can be solved.

Pakistan is the world’s fifth most populous country with an estimated population of 220 million as of 20201. With an increase in societal awareness and much needed de-stigmatization in recent years, increasing numbers of people are seeking help for common mental illnesses and the few studies that have been done in Pakistan have documented a much higher prevalence of mental health issues in Pakistan compared to Western countries. There are an estimated six million drug addicts in the country. Serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia are estimated to have a prevalence rate of 1.5% in the population2.

Robótica e biomimética: a tecnologia aliada à natureza
Authors: Salvi dos Reis Ney Robinson , Ramos de Souza Lucia Helena
Published: April 2021

A robótica e a biomimética, campos da ciência e das técnicas, cada vez mais se interdisciplinam. E inspiradas na natureza, por imitação ou sugestão, várias invenções são pensadas e desenvolvidas. Estudando seus princípios, modelos e processos,  problemas  são solucionados, outro novo olhar é lançado sobre o estabelecido. E para pegar emprestado da natureza sua solução, há os mecanismos, as programações - para gerar materialidade sobre o já observado. Dois robôs foram desenvolvidos a partir de observações da natureza e do desenvolvimento mecânico de suas soluções. Os robôs GIRINO e Chico Mendes – ambos criados e desenvolvidos para atender demandas ambientais. A natureza emprestando e recebendo de volta, pela ciência e pela técnica, o devido cuidado.
Inquisição, imperialismo e xenofobia: repensando a postura científica na Era da Pós-verdade
Authors: Rocha Bichara Marcelo Raphael , Koehler Carlos B. G.
Published: April 2021

Este artigo propõe uma mudança de postura na forma de pensar e divulgar a ciência, diante do cenário atual de pós-verdade. Amparados na psicologia analítica de C.G. Jung, analisamos o presente contexto como uma resposta natural do inconsciente coletivo à violência epistêmica da modernidade. O racionalismo setorial de Bachelard será contraposto ao modelo epistemológico de Kuhn de paradigmas e revoluções, para pensar a questão do terraplanismo, eleito como caso ilustrativo da pós-verdade. Relacionando esses autores com a crítica à ciência de Bruno Latour, iremos propor um princípio de Gestalt para pensar a transdiciplinaridade na ciência, que não esteja mais baseada na dicotomia moral (certo-errado), mas que funcione de forma integrativa, pondo em diálogo o relativismo natural de Latour e a realidade psíquica de Jung.

Deficiência e tecnologia assistiva: um olhar para a sociedade
Authors: Oliveira Denise Cristina Alvares , Borges José Antônio dos Santos , Alves Flavia Ernesto de Oliveira da Silva
Published: April 2021

Este artigo pretende apresentar uma reflexão sobre o conceito de deficiência através da perspectiva da normalidade, apresentando a evolução dos modelos usados para classificar as pessoas com deficiência no Brasil. Estes tendem a se afastar da perspectiva biomédica, substituindo-a por uma visão puramente social. Alguns pontos frágeis desta abordagem são enfatizados aqui. O uso intensivo de Tecnologia Assistiva traz à tona algumas variáveis que indicam a necessidade de criação de novos modelos para classificação funcional e social da deficiência.
