Classification of Dyslexia Subtypes Based on Cognitive Processing and Language Skills: An Application of Latent Profile Analysis
Authors:   The Korea Learning Disabilities Association, Kim Bobae
Published: May 2024

This study classified Korean dyslexia into subtypes based on cognitive processing and language skills and examined the relationships between the strengths and weaknesses of the classified subtypes and reading achievement. The study participants were 206 children with dyslexia in grades 1-3 of an elementary school. The following variables were measured to classify dyslexia into subtypes: phonological awareness, letter knowledge, rapid naming, phonological memory, sentence memory, receptive vocabulary, and listening comprehension skills. Furthermore, the groups were compared in three reading achievement variables: word reading, reading fluency, and reading comprehension. The latent profile analysis identified four subtypes of dyslexia, including the “overall defect group” with overall difficulty in cognitive processing and language skills; “processing speed dominant group” showing strength in letter knowledge and rapid naming; “working memory dominant group” showing strength in phonological and sentence memory abilities; and “receptive language dominant group” with receptive vocabulary and listening comprehension abilities. The comparison of reading achievement between groups revealed that the “overall defect group” was characterized as having lower word reading and reading fluency than the other three groups, whereas the “receptive language dominant group” had strengths in reading comprehension. This is the first study in Korea in which an empirical and exploratory attempt has been made to classify dyslexia into subtypes beyond the limits of the theoretical framework. Moreover, the study results promoted an understanding of the heterogeneity of dyslexia through the strengths and weaknesses of subtypes based on cognitive processing and language skills and had implications for intervention.

Authors:   The Korea Learning Disabilities Association, Na Kyong-Eun , Heo Yu-Sung , Seo You-Jin
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to derive priorities by investigating the awareness of AI⋅digital competencies for pre-service special education teachers and analyzing the importance and performance of each AI⋅digital sub-competence. To achieve the purpose of the study, a survey was conducted on 95 pre-service special education teachers using the AI⋅digital competence system of pre-service and in-service teachers developed through the AIEDAP project. IPA analysis was performed for data analysis, Borich needs analysis was calculated, and LF model analysis was performed. Results were as follows; First, the AI⋅digital competencies of pre-service special education teachers were shown to be at the beginner or intermediate level, and the competencies in the areas of teaching performance were somewhat low. Second, as a result of the LF model analysis, there were 8 required competencies in the highest priority group that were located in the HH quadrant and showed high Borich needs. Third, high-priority competencies mainly corresponded to education practice areas, especially, the areas of education-context analysis and teaching performance. The implications of the research results were discussed focusing on the diagnosis of the AI⋅digital competencies of pre-service special education teachers, the necessity of programs to enhance AI⋅digital competencies, and considerations when constructing programs. The limitations of the study and suggestions for future research were discussed.

Published: May 2024

Remittance inflow is one of the major sources of foreign exchange not only to individuals and financial institutions but also to the economy as a whole. The level of remittance to Nigeria has been on the increase, yet the exchange rate has been very unstable with the naira falling against the USD dollars consistently. Despite different literature on the impact of remittance on the Nigerian economy as a whole, limited studies have been carried out on the effects of remittance on the financial sector of the economy. This study investigated the impact of remittance on the financial sector in Nigeria using data between 1986 and 2022. The choice of the period is to capture the effect on the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) on the economy while also considering other macroeconomic factors and shocks in period thereafter. An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) was employed. Evidence from the results revealed a long-run relationship between financial sector output, Remittances (REM), Cost of remittance (CRM), Trade Openness (TRO) and Exchange Rate (EXR). Meanwhile the cost of remittance was found insignificant. The empirical findings from the ARDL result show that there is a positive relationship between financial sector output, remittance inflow, cost of remittance, trade openness and exchange rate in Nigeria. Based on the empirical findings, the study recommended that government should employ policies that will encourage judicious utilization of funds received through remittances by channelling the funds into productive investment as it will encourage more inflow of remittances and make policy measures more stable to attract more remittances.

Authors: Ogba-Amaugo Ijeoma Mercy
Published: May 2024

In today’s dynamic business landscape, the integration of technology in Human Resources Management (HRM) has become imperative for organizations seeking to stay competitive and efficient. However, within the Nigerian context, the extent and implications of technology adoption in HRM remain relatively unexplored. Recognizing this gap, this study delves into the realm of technology in HRM within Nigerian organizations. Its primary objective is to comprehensively assess the current state of technology adoption, identify the opportunities and challenges it presents, understand its impact on employee engagement and satisfaction, and provide actionable recommendations for effective utilization. Drawing upon a thorough review of existing literature, the study unveils the multifaceted potential of technology in HRM. From enhancing operational efficiency to facilitating talent acquisition and fostering employee engagement, technology offers a plethora of benefits for organizational success. Rooted in the Digital HR Revolution theory, the study adopts a theoretical framework that underscores the transformative role of technology in HRM. This framework serves as a guiding compass, illuminating key areas where technology can drive organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study combines literature review with qualitative interviews with HR professionals across Nigerian organizations. Through thematic analysis, patterns and insights emerge, shedding light on the current landscape of technology adoption and its implications. Findings from the study unveil a discrepancy between the recognized potential of HR technology and its current adoption status in Nigerian organizations. Challenges such as infrastructure limitations, implementation costs, and workforce digital literacy hinder widespread adoption. Nonetheless, opportunities abound for streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and improving employee experiences through strategic technology utilization. In response to these findings, the study offers actionable recommendations. These include investments in infrastructure, user-friendly platforms, comprehensive training programs, and robust cybersecurity measures. By heeding these recommendations and leveraging technology strategically, Nigerian organizations can unlock the full potential of HRM practices, driving efficiency, engagement, and success in the digital age.

Authors: Fadhil Daud Mkali , Macha Salvio Elias , Yusuf Salama Yusuf
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the effect of banking sector development measured by domestic credit provided by banks to private sector as percentage of GDP on risk-taking behaviour of the banks in Tanzania, measured in terms of bank capitalization ratio. The relationship was observed using annual country-level and bank-level data from commercial and non-commercial banks operating in Tanzania from 2012 to 2021. A system GMM estimation technique was employed in the investigation. Our results found that the effects of banking sector development on bank risk measured in terms of bank capitalization ratio is homogeneous across commercial and non-commercial banks. This means the development in banking sector measured as credit to the private sector by banks percentage of GDP in Tanzania has significant positive effect on bank capitalization ratio. Hence, reduce bank risk of default. Nonetheless, the findings reveal further that the profitability of bank and bank size factors are significant positive and negative respectively in relation to bank capitalization ratio. The results are further robust to bank ownership status dummy variable (DOSF) and for country of originality of the banks (DCOF) used to investigate whether there will be significant change in the result or not. The results of the robustness test indicate that banking sector development has insignificant effects on capitalization ratio when banks categorized as domestic and foreign banks as well as when banks categorized as private and state-owned banks.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to analyze crime prevention through an environmental design approach in crime prevention policies in Indonesia and to analyze weaknesses in crime prevention through an environmental design approach in reducing the rate of crime in Indonesia. By using normative legal research methods. The results of this research show that crime prevention through an environmental design approach in crime prevention policies in Indonesia, Indonesia has never used the concept of crime prevention through an environmental design approach in crime prevention policies in Indonesia. Because the CPTED concept is a crime prevention concept that is not known in Indonesia. The concept that is often known as Secure Guard Area is a concept that offers an area where crime prevention mechanisms are completely handed over to security officers. Crime prevention in the concept of security officers must have the ability to carry out territorial areas, the ability to carry out surveillance, must be able to have the ability to portray a good image of the environment, so that officers are able to provide comfort and security for the areas in their duties. Then, the weaknesses in the crime prevention approach through environmental design in reducing the rate of crime in Indonesia, in understanding the weaknesses in CPTED, the author divides them into three weaknesses, namely theoretical weaknesses are a process and not a result and in practice the CPTED process often fails to consider the risk of crime in detail. adequate. Juridical weaknesses and practical weaknesses.
Workers' Perceptions Towards the Establishment of Workplace Forums in South African Industries
Authors: Marty Zikhali Prudence
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of workers towards the establishment of workplace forums in South Africa industries. Workplace forums are committees of employees elected by employees for employees in a workplace. These bodies promote the interests of all employees in the workplace, not only of trade union members. In this study, 30 respondents (management and employees of all races and gender) were selected to participate from 230 employees using a simple random technique. The cluster system was used to divide the industry into departments from which the final respondents were selected. The observation method and most of the official records and statistics were also used to collect and solicit the necessary information for this research. The central view held by this study was that workplace forums are very useful in achieving efficiency in the workplace and that they help in improving trade union activities. The critical view of the study was that there are few workplace forums established in South African industries. This showed that, the industries should provide some possible measures for the establishment of the workplace forums to reduce industrial unrest. But the problem is that trade unions did not encourage this because they see workplace forum as a threat to them. Nonetheless, special attention was on workplace forums because it was taken as a second channel of representation which intended to be one of the primary instruments of the Labour Relations Act (LRA) to democratise the workplace. The study recommended that; workplace forums should be established in all industries. Trade unions should be involved in the workplace forums. There should be the prevention of the establishment of other forums within one organisation. Management and workers should work together to prevent impending conflict.

Authors: Rangga Utama Zulfikar , Arba Arba , Risnain Muh
Published: May 2024

This research aims to analyze the process of implementing the acquisition of rights to land resulting from coastal reclamation in the city of Bima and to examine the legal implications of the reclamation activities along the Bima coastline. The study adopts an empirical legal research approach, incorporating statutory, conceptual, and socio-legal perspectives. Both library and field data are utilized in the research process. The findings of the study reveal the procedural intricacies involved in obtaining rights to land resulting from coastal reclamation in Bima City. The acquisition of these rights necessitates alignment with the regional spatial plan (RTRW) and relevant laws and regulations. The implementation unfolds in two stages: initial unauthorized landfilling and subsequent issuance of certificates for reclaimed beaches, constituting an illegal act. The legal implications of such unlawful beach reclamation in Bima City manifest in several ways. Firstly, the Ownership Rights and HGB (building use rights) certificates authorized by the National Land Agency (BPN) may be considered illegitimate. Secondly, the Bima City government faces restrictions in collecting Property Tax (PBB) and Land and Building Acquisition Duty (BPHTB) taxes on land resulting from the illegal reclamation.

Authors: Magdeline Mmako Mphoreng , Plaatjie Maribe Polaki
Published: May 2024

Infrastructure financing in an important source of funding for rural municipalities. The introduction of private financing in the South African region is a significant paradigm from which the rural municipalities pursue infrastructure investments. However, rural municipalities find it increasingly complicated to secure infrastructure funding from the private sector. Infrastructure financing constraints, including those exacerbated by economic, educational, social and political factors, are some of the many accelerating challenges facing rural municipalities in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. This analysis aims to identify and investigate the root cause of the lack of infrastructure financing and the challenges related to infrastructure financing at rural municipalities in South Africa. The challenge is to design ways to manage these constraints with infrastructure development effectively. Rural municipalities in South Africa face a significant infrastructure finance and investment gap. The study adopted a conceptual approach to analyse the effects of infrastructure financing on rural municipalities in the Limpopo Province. A literature study revealed that some of the challenges were linked to infrastructure development and financing mechanisms. Specific constraints include issues of transparency and autonomy and key provincial transitions. This study concludes with the mechanisms that can be applied to raise external funding for infrastructure development.
Three-Dimensional Functional Brand Protection in Indonesia After the Implementation of Law Number 6 of 2023 (Comparison of Regulations in the United States and Japan)
Authors: Putra Sihite Mahdya Isyah , Roisah Kholis
Published: May 2024

Since the entry into force of the Law No. 20 of 2016 on Trademarks and Geographical Indications, Indonesia has officially granted recognition to 3 (three) dimensional trademarks. Nevertheless, this Act only provides provisions concerning the formality requirements for filing applications for registration of 3 (three) dimensional trademarks. Substantially, the Act No. 6 of 2023 on the Establishment of Government Regulations replaced the Law No. 2 of 2022 on the Creation of Works into the Act adding a provision in article 20 of the Act no. 20 of 2016 that forms of a functional nature cannot be registered as trademarks. There is no explanation of the meaning of functional form in this Act. Based on this problem, the author tries to study the implications of the current Copyright Act using grammatical interpretation methods as well as using a comparative approach to the provisions in the United States and Japan. This article explains about the three-dimensional distinctive force, associated with the secondary meaning theory. Based on research in literature, it is known that there is a breakdown between trademarks and patents in the registration of forms of a functional nature. This article also reinforces the argument that a functional form cannot be protected as a trademark.

Published: May 2024

O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os riscos trabalhistas na contratação de prestadores de serviços terceirizados e as soluções alternativas para mitigação dos riscos de responsabilização dos militares estaduais que atuam nas funções de gestor e fiscal de contratos desta natureza. A metodologia utilizada fundamentou-se em elementos bibliográficos, doutrinários e jurisprudenciais. Os resultados alcançados nas pesquisas revelaram a necessidade de ações acautelatórias pela administração pública voltadas à garantia da fiel observância das cláusulas contratuais de obrigações mútuas referentes aos direitos dos trabalhadores, considerando a necessidade da implementação de ações didáticas como principal instrumento capaz de minimizar os atos omissos e falhas de procedimentos referentes à fiscalização de contratos que prevejam mão de obra exclusiva, fornecendo medidas para se evitar a imputação de responsabilização subsidiária à administração militar. Assim, este estudo justificou-se devido à necessidade de se fixar uma base científica de aproveitamento à Corporação para a implementação de ações proativas, a fim de evitar o dano ao erário e a responsabilização subsidiária, e fomentar os debates e discussões a respeito do assunto. Ademais, concluiu-se que o planejamento para a contratação e a qualificação dos militares estaduais designados para função de gestor e fiscal se revelaram como boas práticas da administração pública, que asseguravam aos trabalhadores a justiça social e aos militares estaduais incumbidos de gestionar e fiscalizar os serviços contratados a isenção de penalidades decorrentes da omissão administrativa frente às obrigações trabalhistas.

Authors:   Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (National Research University), Dolgoprudny, Moscow Region, Russia, Remizov A. O.
Published: May 2024

We study solutions of quasi-linear ordinary differential equations of the second order at their singular points, where the coefficient of the second-order derivative vanishes. Either solutions entering a singular point with definite tangential direction (proper solutions) or those without definite tangential direction (oscillating solutions) are considered. It is shown that oscillating solutions generically do not exist, and proper solutions enter a singular point in strictly definite tangential directions. A local representation for proper solutions in a form similar to Newton-Puiseux series is obtained.

Neuromodulación sacral como alternativa terapéutica en las disinergias vésico-esfinterianas de pacientes lesionados medulares
Authors: Zangone Miguel Ángel
Published: May 2024

El objetivo de presente estudio es evaluar la neuromodulación crónica sacral como una alternativa de tratamiento para el paciente portador de lesión medular por encima del área conal de la médula espinal y cuya sintomatología se expresa como síndrome de urgencia-frecuencia o incontinencia urinaria de urgencia.
Se incluyó en el estudio a 8 pacientes con lesión medular crónica de etiología traumática por encima del cono (S2-S4), que fueron tratados con neuroestimulación del plexo sacro con un electrodo cuadripolar colocado a través del foramen S3, una línea de conexión y un generador de pulso modelo InterStim® (Medtronic© Inc., Minneapolis, MN) colocado en el plano subcutáneo abdominal paraumbilical. El estudio se realizó desde 1996 hasta 2006, con un período de seguimiento posoperatorio que duró en promedio 36 meses (2 a 6 años). Se implantó un generador a través del mismo foramen S3 luego de una etapa de estimulación transitoria satisfactoria como prueba terapéutica previa al implante definitivo, para lo cual se introducía al canal raquídeo un electrodo cuadripolar por vía percutánea a través del mismo foramen S3 que se conectaba a un generador de pulso externo el cual permanecía encendido las 24 horas durante 7 a 21 días; para ser considerada satisfactoria la prueba se requería una mejoría de los síntomas mayor o igual al 50%.
La electroestimulación luego de 36 meses restableció el balance y la coordinación del reflejo vésico-medular en los 8 pacientes; su máxima expresión en la mejoría de los síntomas basales se logró después de 6 meses de aplicada y se mantuvo estable en el transcurso de los meses posteriores.
Se comprobó una disminución significativa del 86% (80 a 90 %) en el número de episodios de pérdida o escape en 24 horas, acompañada por la disminución del 80% (70 a 85 %) del volumen de pérdida comprobada mediante la prueba de paños, con aumento paralelo y correlativo del volumen miccional espontáneo en 24 horas según lo reportado en el diario de micción del paciente.
Esta técnica ha generado un importante beneficio para los pacientes con vejiga neurogénica refractaria, secundaria a lesión parcial o total de la médula espinal supraconal y en quienes el tratamiento farmacológico había fracasado; además, significó un escaso riesgo y absoluta reversibilidad.

Authors: Benedetti Juan Carlos
Published: May 2024

Introducción: Presentamos los resultados un estudio retrospectivo de una serie de 60 pacientes epilépticos consecutivos con lesiones cerebrales intraaxiales que fueron operados empleando métodos multimodales: craneotomía y resección volumétrica guiada por estereotaxia, mapeo funcional cortical y despertar intraoperatorio.
Pacientes y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de los pacientes intervenidos quirúrgicamente entre marzo de 1999 y enero de 2007 con métodos estereotáxicos en el Hospital Neurológico de la Liga Colombiana contra la Epilepsia, la Clínica MediHelp, la Clínica Madre Bernarda y el Hospital Bocagrande, en Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Los demás criterios de inclusión fueron: la presencia de lesiones cerebrales intraaxiales situadas en áreas elocuentes, profundas y/o productoras de epilepsia y la utilización de guía estereotáctica continua durante el procedimiento quirúrgico. A todos los pacientes se les aplicó evaluaciones prequirúrgicas de acuerdo al protocolo institucional. Se utilizó en todos los casos un sistema de estereotaxia ZD, el software Stereoplan plus 2.0 y las imágenes de TAC y RM cerebral preoperatorias con contraste. El tipo de técnica anestésica utilizada fue la neuroleptoanestesia. Se practicó el despertar intraoperatorio de los pacientes y el mapeo funcional cortical usando los parámetros de Berger y Ojemann. La craneotomía y resección de la lesión intraaxial se hicieron bajo guía estereotáctica continua.
Resultados: En total fueron intervenidos quirúrgica- mente 216 pacientes con métodos estereotácticos; sólo 60 de ellos, todos con lesiones cerebrales intraaxiales situadas en áreas elocuentes, profundas y/o productoras de epilepsia, fueron sometidos a tratamiento quirúrgico empleando guía estereotáxica continua. 34 eran varones (56.7%) y 26 mujeres (43.3%), con edades comprendidas entre los 14 y 70 años (promedio: 42). Las lesiones relacionadas con la génesis de las crisis epilépticas que fueron en- contradas fueron: neoplásicas, en 46 casos (76.7%), vasculares, en 9 (15 %) y otras (8.3%). Se presentaron complicaciones relacionadas a la cirugía en 10 pacientes (16.7%). No hubo mortalidad alguna.
Conclusiones: El abordaje multimodal, que comprende la craneotomía y resección volumétrica guiada por estereotaxia, el mapeo funcional cortical y el despertar intraoperatorio, permite realizar resecciones totales o subtotales extensas de lesiones cerebrales situadas en áreas elocuentes, profundas y/o productoras de epilepsia, con una tasa menor de morbimortalidad que en los procedimientos convencionales.

Published: May 2024

Ideal theory and base theory of algebraic structures play an important role in studied. In this study, we focus on studying bases of ideals in algebraic structures. The algebraic structure LA-Γ-semihypergroups is very interesting to study. This structure is generalization of many algebraic structures, for example, commutative semigroups, commutative Γ-semigroups, LA-semigroups, LA-Γ-semigroups, commutative semihypergroups, etc. Many results in these algebraic structures were extended to results in LA-Γ-semihypergroups. On the other hand, the results in these structures are the special cases of results in LA-Γ-semihypergroups. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of two-sided base of an LA-Γ-semihypergroup with pure left identity. We prove that every two-sided base of an LA-Γ-semihypergroup with pure left identity is one-element base. Finally, we prove that the compliment of union of all two-sided base of an LA-Γ-semihypergroup with pure left identity is maximal proper Γ-hyperideal.

Authors: Ogbereyivwe O. , Ogumeyo S. A. , Atajeromavwo E. J.
Published: May 2024

An eighth and ninth-order fast convergence iterative structures for determining the solution of nonlinear equations is put forward in this manuscript. The iterative structures are modification of a three-step variants of the Newton method via the use of the divided deference and weight functions. The computational iterative structures possess the advantages that they, do not require evaluation of higher derivative and converge faster than compared iterative structures with same convergence order. The convergence analysis of the iterative structures was established via the method of Taylor series. The computational results obtained with the developed iterative structures are juxtaposed with those obtained from some contemporary existing methods, and they performed better in terms of fast convergence.

Published: May 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o impacto da pandemia da covid-19 na proteção dos direitos da personalidade dos idosos. Nesse sentido, pode-se observar durante a pandemia o aumento do número de violência doméstica contra os idosos e casos de abandono nas instituições de longa permanência. Sendo que, a necessidade de isolamento social foi um dos motivos para estes aumentos. De outro lado, a situação de vulnerabilidade do idoso, não representou necessariamente uma maior proteção aos seus direitos, especialmente os direitos da personalidade da pessoa idosa, ligados à cidadania, à integridade psíquica e à igualdade. Destarte, o que se espera com a pesquisa será responder a seguinte problematização: Como proteger os direitos da personalidade dos idosos em uma situação emergencial de saúde pública? Para subsidiar a presente pesquisa, utilizará o método hipotético-dedutivo e a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica. Assim, pretendeu-se investigar os principais impactos nos direitos da personalidade dos idosos durante a pandemia da Covid-19 e como protegê-los, levando em conta sua especial vulnerabilidade.
Ayurvedic Management of Shushkakshipaka w.s.r. To Dry Eye Syndrome - A Single Case Study
Authors: Devi Poonam , Vinaik Ashu , Tanwar Manoj
Published: May 2024

Eyes are one of the most powerful tools that anyone can have; hence, all efforts should be made to protect the eyes. In  today’s era, people depend more on machines like computers in all sectors of life. These cause some heat and radiation  which certainly causes ill effects on the eyes. Tear (Ashru) secretion is an integral component of the ocular surface  physiology; when compromised (quantitatively or qualitatively) leads to shushkakshipaka (dry eye syndrome) with  various ocular discomfort symptoms and ultimately the patient may land in corneal blindness. Local, systemic, and  environmental factors majorly affect its pathogenesis. Vata and Pitta/Rakta vitiation as per Ayurvedic viewpoint are  the major contributing pathological factors in its manifestation. A 28-year-old female patient approached Shalakya  OPD of SKGAC and H, Kurukshetra, complaining of irritation, foreign body sensation, eye fatigue, and pain in  the periorbital region along with a feeling of dryness for 1 year. The patient had slight symptomatic relief but when  medications were discontinued the condition used to reoccur, so she turned to Ayurvedic treatment for relief. In  Ayurveda classics, specific treatment has been mentioned for Shushkakshipaka such as Snehana (~in-take of Ghee),  Tarpana (~retention of ghee over eyes), Nasya (~Nasal medication), and Pariseka (~ocular irrigation). A patient  of shushkakshipaka was treated with such treatment protocol, is presented as a case study in this article. Contrary  to the available modern medical treatment Ayurveda propounds a systematic approach in the treatment of dry eye  syndrome.
Ayurvedic Management of Cholelithiasis (Pittashmari) – A CaseStudy
Authors: Gupta Aman , Gupta Monika
Published: May 2024

Gallstone formation, or cholelithiasis, is caused by a number of factors, including supersaturation of bile with  cholesterol, accelerated nucleation of cholesterol monohydrate in bile, bile stasis, or delayed gallbladder emptying  due to impaired gallbladder motility. After carefully rewriting Ayurvedic scriptures, we find that, because of its  resemblance in location and function, the bile secreted from the gallbladder can be compared to the Accha Pitta stated  in Ayurveda. We report that a case of cholelithiasis (Pittashmari) in a 31-year-old female patient had been complaining  of severe abdominal pain, distension of the abdomen, and vomiting. Oral medications such as Arogyavardhini vati,  tablet Trikatu, Kashaya of Trivrit, Katuki, Sanaya, Arghvad, and Daruharidra were administered to the patient  for 3 months. A significant response was observed over clinical symptoms and USG reports. Ayurvedic remedies  were used to treat the patient for 3 months. This case study demonstrates the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment for  cholelithiasis (Pittashmari). The study reached the conclusion that Ayurvedic therapy was significantly effective in  the treatment of cholelithiasis (Pittashmari).
A COMPARATIVE PHARMACOGNOSTIC EVALUATION OF THE LEAVES OF TULSI (OCIMUM BASALICUM) AND (OCIMUM SANCTUM)
Authors: Kushwaha Sonal Singh , Gupta Priya , Panwar Suman
Published: May 2024

The pharmacognostic evaluation of Ocimum basilicum (Sweet Basil) and Ocimum sanctum (Holy Basil) involved detailed macroscopic and microscopic analyses of their leaves. Ocimum basilicum leaves typically measure 4-8 cm in length, displaying an elliptic ovate shape, whereas Ocimum sanctum leaves are relatively smaller, measuring about 2-2.5 cm in length and exhibiting an ovate shape. Microscopic examination further distinguished between the two species: O. sanctum displayed a square-shaped epidermis characterized by parenchymatous cells and sclerenchyma patches, whereas O. basilicum showcased a dorsiventral mesophyll structure with stomata and glandular trichomes. These distinctive features contribute significantly to the standardization, authentication, and quality control processes essential for ensuring the efficacy and safety of herbal medicine formulations containing Ocimum basilicum and Ocimum sanctum.

Published: May 2024

Kerala physicians have made significant contributions to Ayurvedic literature by documenting their clinical experiences. Many of these texts emphasize Panchakarma and its preparatory stages, crucial components of Ayurvedic treatment. This publication aims to promote the practice of Panchakarma in Kerala, offering detailed explanations of unique Kerala therapies like Pizhichil, Navara kizhi, Sirovasti, Siraseka, along with dietary recommendations. The book also addresses challenges encountered during Keraleeya kriya kramas. Delving into various Keraleeya kriya krama procedures such as Pindasweda, Annalepanam, Kayasekam/Pizhichil, Sirovasthi, Sirosekam/Dhara, and Sirolepanam, it draws from personal experiences to elucidate concepts like diet and daily routines during and after treatment. Additionally, the book discusses the instruments used and provides relevant formulations.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has significantly impacted global health. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment modalities of COVID-19. The clinical presentation of COVID-19 varies widely, ranging from asymptomatic or mild symptoms to severe respiratory distress and multiorgan failure. Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, and dyspnea, with less frequent symptoms such as anosmia, ageusia, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Diagnosis primarily relies on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing of respiratory specimens. However, imaging modalities such as chest X-ray and Antibody Test Antigen test in diagnosis, especially in cases with atypical presentations. Treatment strategies include supportive care, antiviral therapy, and, in severe cases, and other intensive care measures. The development and distribution of vaccines have been pivotal in controlling the spread of the virus. Despite significant progress in understanding and managing COVID-19, ongoing research is crucial to refine diagnostic strategies, develop effective therapies, and improve patient outcomes. Antiviral drugs, such as remdesivir, poxolovid, molonupiravir, have been widely used to inhibit viral replication and reduce the severity and duration of symptoms. Immunomodulators, including tocilizumab have been used to target specific pathways involved in the hyperinflammatory response seen in severe COVID-19. Monoclonal antibodies, such as casirivimab/imdevimab and sotrovimab, have been employed for passive immunization to neutralize the virus and reduce the risk of severe disease progression

The primary objective is to develop a Household waste Decomposer that not only composting thee kitchen waste but also ensures quick decomposition while minimizing odors. Our design integrates innovative features, such as a compact and user-friendly composting unit, utilizing a controlled aeration system to accelerate the composting process. This aeration system promotes optimal conditions for microbial activity, enhancing the breakdown of organic matter Another one method added to using decomposer sand. Decomposition sand is a biological process that includes the physical breakdown and biochemical transformation of complex organic molecules of dead material into simpler organic and inorganic molecules. There are two effective system used in Household waste Decomposer. This composting process create a bad smell , so that we are using high suction power exhaust fan. In this suction fans is pull a Odorant particles throw out to the atmospheric air Food waste and decomposer sand ismixed well before pouring in top of the hopper. Food waste and decomposer mixer breakdown the particles like (leaf and tomato and other kitchen veg, waste food) using grinding method Traditional composting methods are slow decomposing and high level of odor form. Now odor free decomposer and quick decomposer at a same time cost effective home decomposing.Household waste Decomposer suitable for trace garden

Mobility as a Service: an Italian MaaS pilot at regional level with public governance
Authors: Caballini Claudia
Published: May 2024

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is the new mobility challenge. In Italy, the Piedmont Region has been implementing the BIPforMaaS, the first Italian regional MaaS project with public governance, aimed at creating a framework of rules for the full deployment of MaaS in the urban and metropolitan area of Turin and in the whole Piedmont Region. Public governance guarantees fair and non-discriminatory competition, while providing a more effective service for end users. This paper presents the results of the BIPforMaaS pilot project, which involved 67 active users, with the goal of field-testing the use of a MaaS app that allows users to book various mobility services. The results showed that the proposed MaaS system can effectively integrate multiple mobility services while ensuring flexibility and efficiency. An environmental analysis is also presented in order to show how MaaS can contribute to a more sustainable mobility system by reducing CO2 emissions.
Which factors are related to crossing speed and road violations? A virtual reality study on young people’s crossing behavior.
Authors: Baldassa Andrea
Published: May 2024

In the literature, numerous studies examined pedestrian behavior within road environments, aiming to contribute to injury prevention. Nevertheless, significant gaps remain, particularly concerning the behavior of young individuals. The present Virtual Reality experiment aimed at two main objectives: (1) understanding the factors associated with the likelihood of young people violating traffic laws and (2) identifying factors influencing their crossing speed, who faced various pedestrian crossing scenarios designed to induce violations are administered to 63 participants aged 11-17. Three main factors are considered in the analysis: socio-economic characteristics, travel patterns, and behavioral tendencies while walking. The results reveal that students who commute on foot and those residing in larger cities are less inclined to violate traffic laws. Furthermore, individuals who report frequent real-life misconduct are more likely to disregard red lights when crossing a signalized crosswalk in the virtual environment. Differences in average crossing speeds are observed between middle school and high school students, as well as between one-lane and two-lane crossing speeds.

Published: May 2024

O presente estudo buscou analisar o impacto da comparação social on-line, do materialismo, da interação social e do desejo de popularidade no consumo conspícuo on-line. Realizou-se um estudo quantitativo, a partir do método Survey, tendo como amostra 317 usuários do Instagram. Os dados foram analisados utilizando a Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, por estimativa Partial Least Squares (PLS). Identificou-se o impacto direto da comparação social on-line no consumo materialista, que, por sua vez, influencia positivamente o consumo conspícuo on-line. Do mesmo modo, verificou-se que as variáveis comparação social on-line e uso da rede social Instagram em razão da Interação Social impactam diretamente o desenvolvimento do consumo conspícuo On-line, explicando 30,8% deste comportamento. Sinaliza-se que as redes sociais podem impactar negativamente no comportamento do consumidor, tornando-se propulsoras de percepções e sentimentos negativos que podem desencadear problemas decorrentes das atividades de consumo. Este estudo pode inspirar o desenvolvimento de ações que visem aumentar o bem-estar dos consumidores tanto no ambiente On-line, quanto no off-line, estimulando atividades que possam atenuar os malefícios gerados pelo consumo excessivo.
