Authors: Голубцова Ксения Ивановна
Published: August 2021

Статья посвящена рассмотрению правового и организационного аспектов деятельности общественных формирований, которые осуществляют контроль за обеспечением прав, свобод, законных интересов лиц, содержащихся в учреждениях уголовно-исполнительной системы. Изучение специальной литературы позволило выявить, что актуальность выбранной нами темы исследования обусловлена возрастающим значением общественных формирований в непосредственном контроле за деятельностью учреждений и органов уголовно-исполнительной системы в сфере обеспечения прав человека. В последние годы непосредственное участие граждан в государственной деятельности приобрело повсеместный характер, что, безусловно, свидетельствует о том, что в России процветает партиципаторная демократия. Особый интерес общественности вызывает контроль вышеуказанными объединениями деятельности государственных учреждений за соблюдением прав лиц, содержащихся в местах лишения свободы. Также в данной статье приведены результаты проведенного социологического опроса о деятельности общественных наблюдательных комиссий в учреждениях УИС среди сотрудников ФКУ ИК-8 УФСИН России по Оренбургской области в форме анкетирования, в котором приняли участие 78 сотрудников и 120 осужденных ИК.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the legal and organizational aspects of the public formations activities that exercise control over the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of persons in custody. The study of specialized literature revealed that the relevance of the chosen research topic is due to the increasing importance of public formations in the direct control of the penal system activities in the field of ensuring human rights. In recent years, the direct participation of citizens in state activities has become widespread, which, of course, indicates that a participatory democracy is flourishing in Russia. Of particular public interest is the monitoring by the above-mentioned associations of the activities of State institutions for the observance of the rights of persons held in places of deprivation of liberty. This article also presents the results of a survey conducted on the activities of public monitoring commissions in the institutions of the penal system among the employees of the Federal Penitentiary Institution «IK-8» of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Orenburg region in the form of a questionnaire, which was attended by 78 employees and 120 convicts.

Authors: Кутаков Николай Николаевич
Published: August 2021

В статье представлен анализ судебной практики о преступлениях против чести и достоинства сотрудников исправительных учреждений, на основе которого дана характеристика объектов, субъектов данных преступлений и наказаний, избранных в отношении виновных. Отдельное внимание автором уделено раскрытию мотивов оскорблений, совершаемых осужденными. Приведена практика привлечения лингвистов к проведению экспертизы оскорблений, высказанных в адрес сотрудников. На основе научных трудов и материалов судебной практики подвергнут анализу признак публичности оскорбления представителя власти. Освещен институт компенсации морального вреда применительно к уголовному судопроизводству как мера, дополняющая уголовную ответственность за совершение преступлений против чести и достоинства сотрудников исправительных учреждений. Сделан акцент на оценке законности действий сотрудника исправительного учреждения при исполнении им своих должностных обязанностей как обязательного требования при рассмотрении уголовных дел об оскорблении представителя власти. Представленные в работе статистические данные позволяют сформировать представления об оскорблениях, совершаемых в отношении сотрудников исправительных учреждений, а материалы судебной практики подтверждают действенность уголовно-правового механизма защиты их чести и достоинства.

The article presents an analysis of judicial practice on crimes against the honor and dignity of correctional officers, on the basis of which the characteristics of the objects, subjects of these crimes, and the punishments chosen against the perpetrators are given. Special attention is paid to the disclosure of the motives of insults committed by convicts. The article describes the practice of involving linguists in the examination of insults addressed to employees. On the basis of scientific works and materials of judicial practice, the sign of the publicity of insulting a representative of the authorities is analyzed. The article highlights the institution of compensation for non-pecuniary damage in relation to criminal proceedings as a measure that complements criminal liability for committing crimes against the honor and dignity of correctional officers. The emphasis is placed on the assessment of the legality of the actions of a correctional institution employee in the performance of their official duties, as a mandatory requirement when considering criminal cases of insulting a representative of the authorities. The statistical data presented in the work allow us to form ideas about insults committed against correctional officers, and the materials of judicial practice confirm the effectiveness of the criminal law mechanism for protecting their honor and dignity.
SOME PROBLEMS OF THE QUALIFICATION OF INSULTS TO A PENAL OFFICER AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AUTHORITIES
Authors: Кулаков Андрей Владимирович , Родионова Ольга Рениславовна
Published: August 2021

Эффективное выполнение сотрудниками уголовно-исполнительной системы своих функциональных обязанностей невозможно без должного отношения к ним со стороны спецконтингента. Однако данные официальной статистики не внушают оптимизма - с 2017 г. происходит неизменный рост уголовно-правовых деликтов против чести и достоинства (ст. 319 УК РФ), совершенных в отношении сотрудников УИС, достигший к 2020 г. 11,5 % от общего количества преступлений, совершенных в местах лишения свободы. Оскорбление сотрудников уголовно-исполнительной системы чаще всего происходит на фоне возникающих конфликтных ситуаций с осужденными, недовольными проводимыми в отношении их оперативно-режимными и надзорными мероприятиями, либо с целью дискредитировать сотрудника в глазах осужденных или сослуживцев, либо с помощью публичного оскорбления повысить свой авторитет среди осужденных. При данных обстоятельствах обеспечение безопасности персонала, в том числе защита их чести и достоинства, уголовно-правовыми средствами приобретает особую актуальность. В статье авторы указывают на такие проблемные вопросы законодательной регламентации оскорбления сотрудника уголовно-исполнительной системы, как определение неприличной формы выражения, публичность высказывания и форма вины. Данные аспекты, по мнению авторов, требуют дополнительной регламентации

The effective performance of the functional duties by the penal officers is not possible without proper treatment by a special agent. However, the official statistics do not inspire optimism - since 2017, there has been a steady increase in criminal law offenses against honor and dignity (Article 319 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) committed against the penal officers, reaching 11,5 % of the total number of crimes committed in places of liberty deprivation by 2020. Insulting penal officers most often occurs against the background of emerging conflict situations with convicts who are dissatisfied with the operational regime and supervisory measures carried out against them, either with the aim of discrediting the employee in plain view of convicts or colleagues, or by using public insults to increase their authority among convicts. In these circumstances, ensuring the safety of personnel, including the protection of their honor and dignity, by criminal legal means becomes particularly relevant. In the article, the author points out such problematic issues of the legislative regulation of insulting a penal officer as determining the indecent form of expression, the publicity of the statement and the form of guilt. These aspects, in our opinion, require additional regulation.
SOME ISSUES OF SENTENCE EXECUTION IN THE FORM OF FORCED LABOR
Authors: Попова Лилия Наиловна
Published: August 2021

В статье рассматривается проблема недостаточного количества рабочих мест для трудоустройства осужденных к наказанию в виде принудительных работ: из-за ограниченного количества вакансий для данных осужденных отдельные территориальные органы испытывают трудности, так как возможность их трудоустройства напрямую связана с местом размещения исправительного центра. С учетом того что рабочих мест, предоставляемых органами местного самоуправления, не всегда достаточно, необходимо взаимодействие органов и учреждений ФСИН России с организациями различной правовой формы. Однако не каждая организация согласится трудоустраивать осужденных, так как возникает обязанность контроля за работающими осужденными. Автором предлагается правовой механизм предоставления льгот по финансовым обязательствам для коммерческих организаций, трудоустраивающих осужденных к принудительным работам. Реализация льгот позволит привлечь к сотрудничеству дополнительное количество коммерческих организаций и будет способствовать квотированию рабочих мест.

The article deals with the problem of insufficient number of jobs for the employment of convicts sentenced to forced labor: due to the limited number of vacancies for these convicts, individual territorial bodies are experiencing difficulties, since the possibility of their employment is directly related to the location of the correctional center. Taking into account the fact that the jobs provided by local self-government bodies are not always enough, it is necessary to interact with the bodies and institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia with organizations of various legal forms. However, not every organization will agree to employ convicts, as there is a duty to monitor the working convicts. The author proposes a legal mechanism for providing benefits for financial obligations for commercial organizations that employ convicts to forced labor. The implementation of the benefits will attract an additional number of commercial organizations to cooperate and will contribute to the quota of jobs.

Clay mineralogy of the Upper Paleocene and Eocene clay sediments in Denmark
Authors: Deyu Zhang
Published: August 2021

The clay mineralogy of the Upper Paleocene and Eocene "plastic clay" sediments has been investigated from a new borehole in the Great Belt of Denmark. Predominant smectite, with small amounts of illite, kaolinite and, in the Holmehus Fm., chlorite, have been identified in the Upper Paleocene sediments. Abundant smectite and increased amounts of kaolinite and illite, with little chlorite, are present in the Eocene sediments. The Tertiary section of the borehole has been divided into two zones; one dominated by smectite with trace amount of kaolinite, including the Upper Paleocene and the Rl-R3 Beds of R!llsnres Clay Fm.; another characterized by the distinct increase of kaolinite and the relative decrease of smectite, including the R4-R6 and the Ll-lA Beds of Eocene sediments. Regionally, smectite content decreases, while kaolinite and illite increase from the north to the south and southeast in the Eocene sediments. No clear trend has been recognized in the Upper Paleocene sediments.
The effect of material source, palaeoclimate and depositional environment on clay mineral distribution is discussed. The high content of smectite is considered to be mainly attributed to the alteration and/or weathering of volcanic material, contributions of smectitic clay from carbonate terrains and far trans­ported suspended matter from north-northwest. The change in climatic conditions may also be of importance. The distinct increase in kaolinite content of the Eocene sediments is thought to be related to a elastic source to the south and southeast and to the warmer climatic conditions.
Late Weichselian and Holocene biostratigraphy in borings southeast of Frederikshavn, Denmark.
Authors: Knudsen K.L. , Nordberg K.
Published: August 2021

Foraminifera, pollen, and molluscs have been investigated in marine Late Weichselian and Holocene deposits from borings southeast of Frederikshavn. The results from the different biostratigraphical methods are co-ordinated.
At least 14 m of sediments seem to be represented from the Younger Dryas Chronozone, and the thickness of the Holocene varies from 9 to 14 m in the three borings. The base of the Holocene occurs between 23.5 and 28.5 m below present day sea-level. A thin unit from the Boreal or possibly the Preboreal Chronozone seems to exist in two of the borings, but a considerable hiatus occurs between this and marine Subboreal and Subatlantic deposits in the study area.

A 53 year old male diagnosed with HIV, SARS-CoV-2 and Kaposi sarcoma developed a purple-brown maculopapular rash on the left calf approximately 6 months before hospitalization and was diagnosed with venous ulcer. The lesions grew in size, spread on the whole body and also appeared on the palate. During this time the patient did not ask for a second opinion and was not monitored by a medical specialist. In December 2020, he developed a severe form of COVID-19 with acute respiratory failure and was admitted to the hospital. He was simultaneously diagnosed with HIV and severe immunosuppression. The skin biopsy confirmed Kaposi sarcoma in the nodular stage. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) was initiated and the patient later received liposomal doxorubicin chemotherapy. The patient slowly recovered whilst showing improvement of his clinical condition and immunological status.

Introduction. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) are two major causes of death worldwide. These two viruses share routes of transmission, and therefore, HIV–HBV coinfection is common and is associated with low plasma levels of CD4 T lymphocytes and accelerated liver disease progression. Maternal HIV and HBV infections have been individually associated with preterm birth and low birth weight. Case presentation. We describe the case of a 28-year-old patient, 14 weeks pregnant, asymptomatic, who performed Elisa-HIV 1,2 test within prenatal screening, with a positive result, in 2018. From the medical history, we mention that the patient is known for about 5 years with HBV-hepatitis D virus coinfection, for which she underwent interferon treatment for a year. ART was initiated after one month with lamivudine / zidovudine + lopinavir / ritonavir. The patient was adherent to ART (adherence ≥ 95%) during pregnancy. Before birth, the immunovirological evaluation revealed the suppression of maternal HIV viral load, a moderate degree of immunosuppression and undetectable HBV-DNA. The patient gave birth by caesarean section to a female child, with a gestational age of 36 weeks, birth weight of 1730 g, lenght = 43 cm, head circumference = 30 cm, APGAR score = 8 points. The child received antiretroviral prophylaxis with retrovir+epivir, human hepatitis B immunoglobulin and was vaccinated against hepatitis B. The newborn was not vertically infected with HIV and HBV. Conclusions. Good adherence to ART during pregnancy has been associated with HIV viral load and HBV-DNA suppression and it led to the birth of a child who has not been infected with HIV or HBV. Maternal HIV-HBV coinfection was a significant risk factor for preterm birth and low birth weight.

Prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of malignancy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a nationwide cohort study from Korea
Authors: Ko Kyung Min , Moon Su-Jin
Published: August 2021

Background/Aims: This study aims to evaluate the incidence of malignancy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to investigate risk factors for such in a nationwide, population-based cohort.Methods: In a large, prospective, observational cohort study, 5,077 patients with RA were enrolled from July 2009 to December 2011 and followed until February 2017. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) for malignancy were calculated using age- and sex-specific cancer rates in the Korean general population. Poisson regression was used to identify the risk of incident malignancy.Results: The cohort included 5,023 participants with RA contributing 16,689 person-years of follow-up. A total of 148 malignancies were recorded. The risks of stomach cancer (SIR, 0.41; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.21 to 0.74), colon cancer (SIR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.37), and lung cancer (SIR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.14 to 0.72) were lower in RA patients than in the general population. Poisson regression modeling demonstrated that the malignancy risk was more than two-fold greater in patients with thyroid disease than in those without thyroid disease. Hydroxychloroquine therapy was associated with a reduced risk (relative risk, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.189 to 0.801) of malignancy development.Conclusions: The overall risk of malignancy in patients with RA is decreased relative to in the general population. In particular, stomach, colon, and lung cancers in Korean RA patients are less common, while brain and central nervous system cancers in male RA patients are more frequent. The patients with thyroid disease and longer RA disease duration were at increased risk for developing malignancy, while hydroxychloroquine users were at lower risk.

In the present study, matrix perturbation bounds on the eigenvalues and on the invariant subspaces found by principal component analysis is investigated, for the case in which the data matrix on which principal component analysis is performed is a convex combination of two data matrices. The application of the theoretical analysis to multi-objective optimization problems – e.g., those arising in the design of mechanical metamaterial filters – is also discussed, together with possible extensions.
In Principio Erat Verbum
Authors: Vaz de Almeida Cristina
Published: August 2021

This chapter discusses the origins of the various models used as a basis for health communication through a literature review. Models seek to represent reality and are dynamic constructs that evolve as the world's own needs and discoveries are made. Particularly in health, a territory for a long time dominated by the biomedical model and a passive view of its recipients, the models have brought a breath of fresh air to the true human dimension. Among the various models that have been defended based on a biopsychosocial perspective, the cognitive, behavioral, emotional components of the human being are reflected, as well as their context and environment in which they move, namely the social, economic, cultural, political, and other dimensions. It is also the determinants of health that influence the whole and that make the interpersonal relationship in health richer and representative of the complex human dimension seen in a holistic way.

Authors: De Uña-Álvarez Elena , Villarino-Pérez Montserrat
Published: August 2021

Inland territories hold a great diversity of ecocultural resources, increasingly constituted in tourist products for local development. Their role in improving the socioeconomic conditions and wellness of local communities, as well as in promoting tourism and sustainability, depends on the involvement of public and private actors. The relationships and the collaboration of local actors are essential in that regard. The study of aforementioned processes takes place in the inland territory of Galicia (NW Spain). The methodology of research relied on in-depth interviews. Due to the key role of the local actors, the interviews focused on their professional and life experiences. The analysis of the answers establishes the definition and the appraisal of the main resources, attached to territorial identity, and highlights the engagement and involvement of the actors in the territorial dynamics that foster the promotion of the ecocultural resources for tourism.

Slow Tourism in Low-Density Territories
Authors: Marques Mafalda , Reis João
Published: August 2021

This research focuses on slow tourism in low-density areas of Beiras and Serra da Estrela, Portugal, and explores how these genuine and authentic spaces can become attractive for tourism development. Compared to visitors who travel to a destination to visit as many attractions as possible in the shortest time, slow tourists refuse to be treated as a number and seek to receive from and give to their destination in the same proportion. Their involvement in a host community, practiced in a personalized, deep, and informed way, contributes to their well-being. The community's inhabitants recognize that their cultural identity is valued, feel motivated to serve as ambassadors, and note that tourist activities can lead to improvements in their quality of life. This research includes the results of interviews, a benchmarking in Italy, and an analysis of a village tourism. The findings reveal the opportunities they hold for slow tourism, with very positive effects for local development.
Slow Tourism in the Sustainability of Local Culture
Authors: Çokal Zeynep , Demirel Nilgün
Published: August 2021

The essence of slow tourism is the sustainability of the locals. Slow tourism includes tourism activities by visiting slow cities, tasting slow food, and enjoying the moment, avoiding the worry of uploading photos to social media accounts while experiencing all these. Slow tourism is based on the need to experience travel within the framework of sustainability and to prioritize the locals during these travels. What is important in this tourism activity is not how long a destination is spent or how many destinations are visited, but how productive time is spent at the destination and the emotions that emerge afterward. In addition to these, many practices are carried out to ensure the sustainability of local culture, especially in slow cities, within the scope of slow tourism. Practices such as the continuation of local handicrafts, ensuring the continuity of local life under the influence of ancient civilizations, and sustainability of the local architectural style are included in slow city destinations. The essence of all this is to ensure the continuity of the local culture.

Published: August 2021

With the meteoric development of the big data, internet of things (IoT), the very first question is about how to scout the massive volume of data from heterogeneous data sources. The modern tools and techniques commonly used in successful transmuting of well-structured data into business intelligence (BI) clearly don't work when started on unlabeled data. It is needed to have effective and efficient mapping processes to transform unstructured text data to structured text data with assigned categories to make rapid decisions. With the support of modern automatic text mining tools, the decision-making process can now be done efficiently and cost-effectively. The deep learning concept has attained state-of-the-art results. The mapping operation of unstructured text data to classified structured text data will symbolize unstructured data as renewable assets that are well arranged, useful, and meaningful to serve organizational operations. This chapter presented a comparison of conventional and deep learning methods for unstructured text data classification and its challenges.
Exploring Critical Success Factors Towards Adoption of M-Government Services in Tanzania
Authors: Ishengoma Fredrick
Published: August 2021

Recently, the Tanzanian government has started making m-government initiatives. However, little is known about the factors and conditions surrounding m-government adoption in Tanzania. Consequently, some m-government services have been successfully adopted while others are still struggling (having a low level of adoption). This study investigates critical success factors (CSFs) that led m-government services belonging to the same family to have varying degrees of adoption level. The study employs a set of web analytics tools that monitored and analyzed the traffic data of the selected three m-government services. The results show that inspecting the web analytics data from multiple viewpoints and varying levels of detail gives insights on the CSFs towards the adoption of m-government services. The findings suggest that perceived usefulness, user needs, and usability favor the adoption of one m-government service over the other.

Authors: Gross Esther S. , Crawford Jenifer A.
Published: August 2021

Teachers and students in TESOL confront persistent racial, linguistic, economic, and social inequities in English language education. Many universities are striving to enact inclusive teaching that serves their diverse student body. This chapter offers a balanced approach that synthesizes language teaching research, theories, and practices to offer equitable strategies and tools for planning TESOL lessons and an exemplar university English as a Foreign Language lesson. These strategies, tools, and examples provide support for teachers to plan to explore inequities in the sociopolitical and raciolinguistic conditions of language and language learning with their students through lessons that integrate language skills, practices, and content. There is significant research on critical approaches to language education, but this chapter contributes to critical praxis in TESOL by providing detailed guidance for teachers on integrated lesson planning for adult EFL classes.
Achieving Praxis for TESOL Educators
Authors: Jungheim Samantha , Vega López Jacqueline
Published: August 2021

Shifting educational landscapes have revealed a need for structured critical reflection. While research on culturally responsive teaching practices and critical reflection prompts exist, there is little in the way of short, synthesized resources for busy educators who desire to change systems of inequity. The authors of this chapter have developed the TESOL educator reflective self-checklist (TERS) for on ground and online educators that utilizes recent research on motivation to activate critical reflection and further culturally sustaining classroom practices. This chapter expands on the evidence and development of this reflective checklist, implementation of the checklist, and provides vignettes of the checklist in use.
Making Educator Professional Development More Accessible and Inclusive With Mobile Teacher
Authors: Guevara Katherine
Published: August 2021

This chapter describes how curious and reflective TESOL educators can engage in ongoing appreciative inquiry by participating in a unique global community of practice facilitated through an app called Mobile Teacher that also works offline. With the aim of recognizing and sharing the expertise of non-native English speaker TESOL educators who are primarily BIPOC and women working in the majority world, teachers are encouraged to watch short videos of colleagues' effective teaching practices, try out the practices with their students, and in turn share videos describing or demonstrating their own proven techniques. Through a case study of using Mobile Teacher with teachers in Ecuador, the author provides a self and group reflection guide based on the 4D appreciative inquiry framework to establish a definition and examples of effective teaching practice, and a video script template to complete in preparation for recording and sharing an effective teaching practice.

Published: August 2021

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious disease caused by a dangerous virus named SARS-CoV-2. The most important symptoms are fever, cough, fatigue, and breathing problems. In the most serious forms of the disease, the appearance of an acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by the virus can be deadly, especially when people are fragile due to their age or in case of comorbidities. The exacerbated innate immune response could be another deadly complication. Different strategies of treatments are proposed for COVID-19 such as inhibition of virus entry by blocking ACE2 receptor used by COVID-19, inhibition of virus replication by using replication inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents to stimulate a strong immune response against COVID-19, and by using vaccines as an effective method for a long-term strategy for prevention of COVID-19.
Quality Management System and Risk Analysis
Authors: Boudiaf Abdelghani , Zahir Mustapha
Published: August 2021

Many business leaders believe that a comprehensive risk management system provides an essential foundation for maintaining competitive advantages. Moreover, the company is today in the need to set up this device since its environment is unstable and it is constantly changing. In the current circumstances of the virulent pandemic COVID-19, risk management is gaining importance. The majority of Moroccan companies, especially SMEs, are still in an embryonic stage with regard to the practice of risk management. It should be noted that certain SMEs have set up, in particular in the food industry, a food risk management system since this is of a regulatory nature. The results of empirical research have shown that the implementation of a quality management system or an integrated quality and food safety system in the companies promotes risk management. The risk approach is a transversal approach that allows companies to improve their operation and be resilient.
An Overview of Mindfulness and Its Implications for Children and Adolescents
Authors: Venkatesan Srinivasan
Published: August 2021

Mindfulness is focusing on the present moment while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's thoughts, feelings, and body sensations as they are. The use of mindfulness practices on children and adolescents is burgeoning. This chapter covers the meaning and elements of mindfulness, their measurement, the various techniques, and exercises exclusive for children. Such techniques are typically individualized, tailor-made, personalized, contextualized, play-based, activity-oriented, reward-oriented, and maintained at the child's developmental level. Mindfulness parenting is vital. A mindful parent is aware of one's thoughts and feelings; is responsive to the child's needs, thoughts, and feelings; is better at regulating own emotions; is less critical of oneself or the child; is better at standing back from situations and avoiding an impulsive reaction. Issues related to professionalism, formal institutions for training mindfulness, and ongoing research on this theme, their achievements, and setbacks are listed before providing future directions for work in this area.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions and Parent-Child Relationship in Parents of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Iyer Kamlam Gopalkrishnan
Published: August 2021

Mindfulness has been noticed in the domain of psychology and neuroscience for the last two decades. With the plethora of studies based on interventional benefits of mindfulness-based techniques in various populations, the present review assesses if parent-child relationship studies effectively use mindfulness-based interventions on parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The children are in the age group of below 5 years. The aspects of ASD, mindfulness techniques, and parent-child relationship importance are explored, albeit briefly. One study could be reviewed and was assessed for its treatment fidelity. The conclusion was based on the need to conduct more mindfulness-based intervention studies for the parent population of children in the younger ages and with ASD. This review recommends such replication of studies on the parents of the Indian subcontinent as well.

Meditators' subjective experiences mostly focus on the psychological and physiological benefits the practice offers. While most investigations understand meditation to have commonly induced a meditative state, the bioplasmic experiences are vital in sensitizing the practitioner to the subtle changes in the body that are often overlooked, and Meditation on Twin Hearts serves as a platform to highlight these experiences. The present study aims to understand the bioplasmic experiences and other sensations of the participants during Meditation on Twin Hearts in a two-hour session. Using an exploratory study design, 24 participants', aged between 28 to 59 years, responses were analyzed, and results were drawn using thematic analysis. The results indicate that 70.8% of participants experienced bioplasmic energy in novel forms. Further, it can be elucidated that in the meditation process, one's awareness of the subtle bioplasmic or transcendental changes is also enhanced.
