KAPHA W.S.R. TO MUCUS GLANDS SECRETION AND LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
Authors: Shukla Megha , Sharma Rajesh Kumar , Sharma Dinesh Chandra
Published: October 2021

Basic concept of Ayurveda is based on tridosha. “vayu pittam kaphashchoktah shariro dosha sangraha...” [Ch.su. 1/57]. The three dosha viz vata-pitta-kapha are the main factors of the development, nourishment, and maintenance of the body as well as the main pathogenic factors responsible for different types of dis-ease. The wrong utilization of food regimen and activity (mithya ahara vihar) etc. vitiated these dosha. As per ayurveda principles their balance makes a healthy body, on the other hand their imbalance cause dis-ease. These dosha are directly descendants of panchamahabhuta [five elements]; two remain passive as background scenario and three are active. Out of them, Kapha is principally a combination of Earth and Water and is the energy that forms the body’s structure and provides the “glue” or cohesion that holds the cells together. It lubricates joints, moisturizes the skin and maintains immunity. In balance, kapha is ex-pressed as love, calmness, and forgiveness. Out of balance, it leads to attachment, greed, possessiveness, and congestive disorders. In the modern medical science, the Kapha or Shleshma dosha can be co-relate with lymphatic system.

Published: October 2021

Ayurveda classics have many effective herbs to be evaluated for its own identity. In order to have a perfect understanding of the medicinal plants it is therefore most essential to be familiar with the branch of Ayur-vedic Pharmacology i.e. “Dravyaguna Vigyan” which provides the scientific knowledge of the fundamen-tals of Ayurvedic medicinal properties with their pharmacological action. Ayurvedic history can be divided into three time periods – Vedic period, Samhita period, Nighantu period. The Nighantu period is the golden period of the Ayurvedic Materia Medica literature. Many Nighantus or lexicons were written after the sam-hita period. Initially the Ayurvedic Nighantus are based on different samhitas containing only the syno-nyms which communicated the prevalent names, morphological characters, and properties, actions of drugs, habitat and relevant information. As time passed many species enters in India from their native plac-es for economical and medicinal importance. Many of them were added in various lexicons on the basis of their pharmacological or therapeutic properties. Mainly the literature of Dravyaguna is available in two forms one is texts which describe only synonyms of drugs e.g. Ashtanga Nighantu, Paryaya Ratnamala, Hridaya Deepaka Nighantu, Nighantu Sesha, etc., and second is texts which explain synonyms along with properties, Indications and actions e.g. Dhanwantari Nighantu, Sodhala Nighantu, Madanpal Nighantu etc. Sodhala Nighantu is written by Acharya Sodhala in 12th century. In the introductory verses Sodhala ex-press his view that students of Ayurveda in his time are facing great difficulty as the list of drugs, proper classification, nomenclature etc. are not available. Therefore, he composed this work after consulting earli-er works of Agnivesa, Sushruta and mainly the author of Ashtang - Vagabhattacharya. He claims that this text will solve controversies among various texts.
A CASE REPORT ON THE MANAGEMENT OF DUCHENNE’S MUSCULAR
DYSTROPHY (DMD) WITH MATRA BASTI
Authors: Kachole Sharayu , Rao Niranjan , C Padmakiran
Published: October 2021

Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common x-linked disorder in children presenting in early childhood due to recessive mutation of the dystrophin gene. It is characterized by progressive weak-ness in hip and shoulder girdle muscles beginning by age 5. Although there is no absolute cure for DMD, therapies can delay the onset or slow down the progression of disease. Survival beyond the age of 30 years is rare due to the severe chronic complication involving multiple systems. Serum Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) level determination is the most specific objective parameter for the diagnosis and assessment of se-verity of Muscular Dystrophy (MD). Based on the presentation of DMD, it can be diagnosed as Mamsavru-ta Vatal leading to Mamsa Dhatu Upashoshana which is the consequence of Beejabhagavikruti. There will be continuous destruction of Dhatu leading to Vataprakopa again. Hence, the line of management is con-trolling the Vata and preventing the destruction. The best treatment for it which has this dual action is Mat-ra Basti. With this basic concept, a male child of 10 years diagnosed as Mamsavruta Vata was treated with Matra Basti using Dhanwantara Taila 10 ml/day for about 9 months. As there was associated Sama Do-shavastha, Agnichikitsa Lepa was advised for 7 days initially. The treatment showed significant reduction in the level of CPK tested before and after the treatment. Hence, the treatment protocol followed can be taken up for further research and can prove with evidence that, it can be effectively practiced in the man-agement of DMD. The long-term benefit, improvement in disease, quality of life can be accessed through the research with long term follow-ups.

CONCEPTUAL STUDY OF INDRIYA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO VAGENDRI-YA - A REVIEW
Authors: Gopal Bansal , Kumar Dwivedi Ashok , K.V. Mini
Published: October 2021

Sense organs of human body can be undertaken as essential aspects of human life. Our world is alive with stimuli, all the objects and events that surround us. Sensation and perception are the processes that allow us to detect and understand various stimuli. We do not actually experience these stimuli directly, rather, our senses allow us to get information about aspects of our environment, and we then take that information and form a perception of world. Sensation is the processes of receiving stimulus energies from external envi-ronment and transforming those energies into neural energy. Physical energy such as light, sound, heat is detected by physical receptors cells in the sense organs-eyes, ears, skin, nose and tongue. When the recep-tor cells register a stimulus, the energy is converted to an electrochemical impulse or action potential that relays information about stimulus through the nervous system to brain. An action potential is brief wave of electric charge that sweeps down the axon of a neuron for possible transmission to another neuron. When it reaches the brain, the information travels to the appropriate area of cerebral cortex. The brain gives mean-ing to sensation through perception. Perception is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory infor-mation so that it makes sense. Every species is adapted to sense and perceive stimuli that matter to that spe-cies ability to survive in its environment. Ayurved says that Indriyas able to pertain knowledge of Vishayas - Sabda, Sparsa, Rupa, Rasa and Gandha. The production of speech is pertained by the help of Vagendri-ya. Acharya Charak said that knowledge is obtained by conjoint action of Aatma, Indriya, Mana and Vishayas.

ÇALIŞMA YAŞAMINDA BİR AYRIMCILIK TÜRÜ OLARAK MOBBİNG VE SİBER BOYUTU
Authors: ATATANIR Hicran
Published: October 2021

Teknolojinin toplumsal yaşamı ve ilişkileri baş döndürücü bir hızla değiştirdiği çağımızda, çalışma yaşamı ve içinde barındırdığı sorunlar da değişmektedir. Sanayileşmeyle birlikte gelişen işyeri olgusunu bugün, başat olarak kullanılan üretim teknolojisi tanımlar hale gelmiştir. İşyerleri farklılaşıyor, iş ilişkileri değişiyor olsa da evirilen çalışma yaşamının doğasında görece “yeni” sorunlar da şekil değiştirerek yaşanmaya devam etmektedir. İnsanların bir kişiye ya da bir gruba diğerlerinden farklı muamele etmesi ve bu farklı muameleyi zihnindeki ayrımcı kodlar üzerinden meşrulaştırması yeni bir olgu değildir. “İşyerinde yıldırma” kavramı ile 6701 sayılı Türkiye İnsan Hakları ve Eşitlik Kurumu Kanununda düzenlenen mobbing sorunu esasen bir ayrımcılık türüdür. Bu ayrımcılık türü, dijitalleşen çalışma yaşamında kendisini “siber mobbing” davranışları olarak ortaya koymaktadır. Teknolojinin mobbing davranışları üzerindeki dönüştürücü etkisinin bir yansıması olarak “siber mobbing”, etki alanı geniş, etki gücü yüksek ve etki süresi uzun bir mobbing türü olarak mağdurların iş yaşamları üzerinde yıkıcı sonuçlar doğurmaktadır. Onurlu çalışma hakkının dijitalleşen iş yaşamında da korunması için çalışanların güçlendirilmesi ve baş etme kapasitelerinin geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Sanal işyerlerinin, ofislerin ve iş ilişkilerinin iş yaşamına hâkim olmaya başladığı dünyamızda siber mobbing ile etkin bir mücadele hem bugünün hem de geleceğin çalışma yaşamına ve siber etiğine yön vermek anlamına gelmektedir.
Amaç: Mobbing olgusunun bir ayrımcılık türü olarak ortaya konulması ve dijitalleşen çalışma yaşamında iletişim ve bilişim teknolojileri aracılığıyla kabuk dönüştüren bu olgunun siber boyutu ile tartışmaya açılması amaçlanmaktadır.
Yaklaşım: Mobbing, onurlu çalışma hakkının ihlali olarak hak temelli bir yaklaşımla ele alınmaktadır. Bu yaklaşım temelinde ayrımcılık karşıtlığı ve eşitlik prensibi esas alınarak mobbing sürecinin iş yaşamında maruz kalınan farklı muamele örgüsünden oluştuğuna ve bu örgünün dijitalleştiğine dikkat çekilmektedir.
Bulgular: Siber mobbingle mücadele için geliştirilebilecek çözümlerin sosyal taraflarla birlikte geliştirilmesi ve değerlendirilmesi gerektiği, geleneksel örgütlenme stratejileri ve yeni iletişim teknolojilerini buluşturan bir dijital sivil toplum hareketiyle özellikle siber mobbing gibi “yeni” sorunlarla, yaşandığı mecrada mücadele edebilmenin yollarının inşa edilebilir olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
Özgünlük: Çalışma %89,9 oranında özgün bir çalışmadır.
OKUL MÜDÜRLERİNİN ÖĞRETMENLERE VERDİKLERİ DİSİPLİN CEZALARINA İLİŞKİN GÖRÜŞLER
Authors: YILDIRIM Gülnur , LEVENT Faruk
Published: October 2021

Okul müdürleri, okulda çalışan öğretmenlere istenmeyen davranışlar karşısında 657 sayılı Devlet Memurları Kanunu’nun 126. maddesine göre uyarma, kınama ve aylıktan kesme cezalarını verebilir. Okul müdürlerinin; okulun düzenini korumak, verimli bir çalışma ortamı hazırlamak, çalışanların huzurunu sağlamak, çatışmaların yönetimi ve sorunların çözümü için bu yaptırımları uygulama yetkisi vardır.
Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, okul müdürlerinin öğretmenlere verdiği disiplin cezalarına ilişkin okul müdürlerinin görüşlerinin incelenmesidir.
Yöntem: Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum deseni ile gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada, amaçlı ölçüt örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiş muhakkiklik yapan 34 okul müdürü ile yüz yüze görüşmeler yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Katılımcı okul müdürlerinden elde edilen bulgulara göre okul yöneticiliğinin ek bir görev olarak icra edilmesinin disiplin soruşturmalarında karar alma sürecini olumsuz yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. Katılımcı okul müdürleri, disiplin cezalarının uygulanması sonucu yönetici-öğretmen ilişkilerinde sorunlara neden olduğunu belirtmekle birlikte sadece gerekli durumlarda disiplin cezalarının uygulanması gerektiğini ifade etmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcılar, disiplin cezalarıyla ilgili uygulanan politikaların gözden geçirilmesi ve bu görevin daha çok kendileri dışında konunun uzmanları tarafından yapılması gerektiğini belirtmişlerdir.
Özgünlük: Literatür incelendiğinde, Türkiye’de eğitim alanında müfettişlerin soruşturma görevine ilişkin birçok çalışma yapılmış olmasına karşın okul müdürlerinin öğretmenlere verdiği disiplin cezalarına ilişkin az sayıda çalışmanın olduğu görülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın eğitim yönetimi ve denetimi literatürüne katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
