Authors: Ramanathan Indhra , Padmanabhan Prabeesh , Paul Princy , Muthualagu  , Rahul  , Gokulapriyan
Published: January 2025

Aim:

The study aims to compare and evaluate the remaining dentin thickness of lower premolars with different rotary file systems using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials and Methods:

A total of 75 noncarious mandibular premolar teeth were collected and decoronated at the level of cementoenamel junction with a diamond disc. All specimens were randomly divided into five groups namely Group 1—ProTaper Next file system, Group 2—Mtwo file system, Group 3—RaCe file system, Group 4—GenEndo file system, and Group 5—Control group, with 15 specimens each. After mounting the samples in a U-shaped wax sheet, preoperative CBCT scans were taken at three different levels 3, 5, and 7 mm. Cleaning and shaping of canals were done following the assigned protocol of manufacturers. Postoperative CBCT scans were taken at the same three levels, which were compared with preoperative scans, and the remaining dentin thickness was evaluated for mesiodistal and buccolingual directions. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 software. Difference among the groups was analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. Difference among the multiple groups was analyzed by Bonferroni. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all tests. Variables were expressed as means ± standard deviation.

Results:

The ProTaper Next file system showed a significantly higher mean value of removed dentin at 7 mm, whereas the RaCe file system showed less mean value of removed dentin at 3 and 7 mm. The Mtwo file system showed a significantly higher mean value of removed dentin at 5 mm. GenEndo system showed a lower mean value at 5 mm both in mesiodistal and buccolingual directions.

Conclusion:

The RaCe file system showed the lowest mean value of removed dentin compared with other file systems at apical and coronal levels in mesiodistal and buccolingual directions. GenEndo file system showed the lowest mean value of removed dentin compared with other file systems in the middle in mesiodistal and buccolingual directions.

Introduction:

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a well-established risk factor for erectile dysfunction (ED); the precise impact of glycemic control on male sexual function, including hormonal profiles, remains to be fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the specific relationship between the degree of glycemic control in T2DM patients and the severity of both hormonal imbalances and ED.

Methodology:

A comparative study between two arms – relatively controlled and uncontrolled type 2 diabetic men. We considered a relatively controlled diabetes mellitus (DM), patient with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 7.9 mmol/L or less. Laboratory results for type 2 diabetic men presenting with ED were studied after stratifying them into the two groups – relatively controlled DM (HBA1c of 7.9 mmol/L or less) and uncontrolled DM (HBA1c equal to or more than 8 mmol/L). Retrieved data include patient’s demographics, body mass index (BMI), hormonal profile, Complete Blood Count (CBC), lipid profile, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), urate, Vitamin D level, and the severity of ED as assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scores. Statistical analysis was done to compare between the two groups using SPSS version 20. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

This study found a significant association between poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥8%) and ED in diabetic men (P < 0.0001). Longer diabetes duration correlated with both ED and poor glycemic control, suggesting a potential causal link. Well-controlled diabetics had lower BMI (P = 0.001), higher free testosterone (FT) (P = 0.0002), lower sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) (P = 0.0001), and higher IIEF scores (P < 0.0001) compared to the poorly controlled group, indicating better erectile function and potential benefits of weight management and improved testosterone availability. While follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels were not significantly affected, Vitamin D levels were higher in the well-controlled group (P = 0.0002), suggesting a potential role for Vitamin D in ED, although further investigation is needed. Cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, PSA, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and T4 levels did not show significant differences but might warrant further exploration.

Conclusion:

This study demonstrates an association between poor glycemic control and impaired erectile function in diabetic men. Lower FT levels, elevated SHBG, and increased BMI were observed in the poorly controlled group, potentially contributing to ED. Conversely, good glycemic control correlated with improved erectile function, potentially due to higher FT availability and Vitamin D levels.

Background:

Kidney stones can significantly impact individuals, but existing literature often overlooks the comprehensive effects by not considering the various factors such as stone size, presence of obstruction, and treatment methods, among those with and without diabetes. This study seeks to explore the relationship between diabetes and kidney stone formation, addressing these gaps in research.

Methodology:

This cross-sectional study assesses the diverse impacts of kidney stones on adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nondiabetic adults from 2019 to 2022 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Institutional review board approval was secured for this research. Data collection occurred from December 1, 2022, to March 1, 2023, and the analysis was performed using SPSS software.

Results:

The study included 254 adults diagnosed with kidney stones, 127 with type 2 diabetes, and 127 nondiabetics. Our study showed that the individuals with diabetes were more likely to have larger kidney stones than those without diabetes (13.12 mm vs. 10.53 mm, P = 0.03). Moreover, individuals with hypertension and dyslipidemia also had significantly larger stones. However, no significant difference was found between the two groups regarding the presence of obstruction and the treatment modality.

Conclusion:

This study revealed that in Saudi Arabia, individuals with diabetes who also suffer from kidney stones tend to develop larger stones. In addition, these individuals frequently exhibit other comorbid conditions, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and renal disease. The significance of these findings may inform future strategies for both primary and secondary prevention of kidney stones in diabetic patients.
Harnessing multi-omics approaches to elucidate the role of Chinese herbal compounds in chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal damage
Authors: Qiao Chang , Zhang Hao-Xiang , Tian Xiao-Tong , Zhang Yan-Jing , Li De-Hui
Published: January 2025

In this editorial, we discuss the findings reported by Wang et al in the latest issue of the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology . Various research methodologies, including microbiome analysis, assert that the Tzu-Chi Cancer-Antagonizing and Life-Protecting II Decoction of Chinese herbal compounds mitigates inflammatory responses by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway. This action helps maintain the dynamic equilibrium of the intestinal microecology and lessens chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal damage. The efficacy of these compounds is intimately linked to the composition of intestinal microbes. These compounds regulate intestinal microecology by virtue of their specific compatibility and effectiveness, thereby enhancing the overall therapeutic outcomes of cancer chemotherapy. Nonetheless, the exact mechanisms underlying these effects warrant further investigation. Multi-omics technologies offer a systematic approach to elucidate the mechanisms and effectiveness of Chinese herbal compounds in vivo. This manuscript reviews the application of multi-omics technologies to Chinese herbal compounds and explores their potential role in modulating the gastrointestinal microenvironment following cancer chemotherapy, thus providing a theoretical foundation for their continued use in adjunct cancer treatment.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) within Integrated Behavioral Healthcare (IBH) to explore its impact on patient outcomes, particularly mental health and chronic disease management. CoCM works via a team approach with a focus on providing holistic care, and physical, and mental health care. The study synthesizing quantitative data from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials demonstrated the successful utilization of CoCM in removing depressive, anxious, and PTSD symptoms, enhancing treatment compliance; and increasing quality of life. Reflecting on the observed primary outcomes: depressive symptoms decreased by 50%, and the results revealed effective chronic illness self-management including diabetes and hypertension. CoCM also shows cost savings by improving resource utilization and curtailing hospitalization costs. Furthermore, it leads to heightened patient satisfaction and better access to the best and needed behavioral health. However, some challenges still exist as to its more extensive incorporation. These issues are elements of cost drivers such as infrastructure, human resources and differences in insurance. These barriers can be eliminated only through policy changes, improved training activities, and the application of technology to foster better implementation within limited resource environments. CoCM provides a feasible solution for enhancing the effectiveness of mental health and chronic illness treatments and decreasing the costs of service provision. Extending its use to the global setting primarily LMICs requires addressing system barriers and collective strategies that lead to fair and sustainable solutions in the delivery of health care.
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF PSORIASIS W.S.R TO THE COMPARISON OF EK
KUSHTHA, CHARMAKUSHTHA, KITIBHA AND VAIPADIKA WITH DIFFERENT
TYPES OF PSORIASIS
Authors: Balpande Kanchan , Sangewar Janhvi
Published: January 2025

In Ayurveda, psoriasis is compared with Kshudra Kushtha. Kshudra Kushtha is one of the two types of Kushtha,
the other one being Mahakushtha. Kushtha suggests skin discolouration, which mainly involves the three Doshas
and Twacha, Rakta, Mamsa and Lasika as the pathogenic agents. The treatment for any Kushtha includes both
Shodhana and Shamana, which can only be proceeded by assessing the Dosha predominance at the particular
stage of Shatkriyakala or pathogenesis. The treatments include Snehapana for Vata, Vamana for Kapha, Rakta
Mokshana and Virechana for Pitta.
The four types of Kshudra Kushtha, namely, Charmakushtha, Ek Kushtha, Vaipadika and Kitibha, that are being
compared to different types of Psoriasis, are all Vata-Kapha Pradhana diseases. The common symptoms of these
types of Kushtha are scaling (patches), itching, roughness, pigmentation, etc. And others being the specific symptoms. Since the diseases mentioned above are Vata-Kapha Pradhana, with Vata being dominant, Panchatikta
Ghritapana is used as a treatment. Ghritapana is considered the best treatment for treating Vata-dominant diseases. In the case of Psoriasis, it reduces the dryness caused by Vata, which further stops the itching caused by
Kapha and, hence, breaks down the pathophysiology of Psoriasis.
EFFICACY OF STHANIKA BASTI IN MANAGEMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL
DISORDERS – META-ANALYSIS
Authors: Kumari Kavita , Kumar Bhatted Santosh , Pandey Pulak Mohan
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Musculoskeletal diseases are the most prevailing ailment in India and one of the leading causes of functional impairment and disability affecting the quality of life. The World Health Organization (WHO) rec-ommends boosting the use of Ayurveda medicine’s medicinal systems along with the usual mode of treatment. Diminution and regulation of the vata (aggravated principle of kinetic force) is the basis of Ayurvedic treatment comprising individually tailored interventions, including medication, purification measures, lifestyle and nutri-tional advice, and dietary supplements. Sthanik Basti includes both Snehana, i.e. oleation and Swedana, i.e. su-dation, so it is more effective in the acute management of pain and associated symptoms of musculoskeletal dis-orders. Material and method: The study aims to evaluate and compare Ayurveda interventions' efficacy in managing musculoskeletal disorders, i.e Vatavyadhi, and to assess the effect of Ayurveda Interventions on pain, stiffness and range of movement. This systemic review was conducted according to the Cochrane Handbook of Systemic Review of Interventions guidelines and is reported following the Preferred Reporting Guideline for Systemic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines (PRISMA). Result: All study groups showed significant p val-ues within the group and insignificant p values in the fixed random effect model. Though the p-value is negligi-ble between the groups, one group among the three shows better results in the fixed effect model. In all three outcomes (pain, stiffness and range of movement), group 1, i.e., a group including only Sthanik Basti, showed better results than other groups. Conclusion: Based on this review, few policies or treatment protocols can be hypothesised for managing Musculoskeletal disorders at the national level. The Ayurveda intervention combina-tions have worked better because they work on multiple etiological factors and biological variations of the indi-viduals.

-A healthy community is the true wealth of a nation. Social, economic, and educational status depends on public
health. Communicable diseases are one of the significant threats in the current scenario. In Ayurveda, these diseases come under Aupasargikaroga. Even though it is a different classification, they strongly connect with
Aganthujvara. The vitiation of Tridosha in Aganthujvara is influenced by several factors such as Ahara, Vihara,
Desa, Kala, Vyadhikshamatwa, and Bhuta Prabhava. Understanding the role of Tridosha in Aganthujvara provides a fresh perspective on diagnosing communicable diseases. This article explores the Ayurvedic approach to
communicable diseases and their connection with Aganthujvara by understanding the involvement of Tridosha.

Ayurveda, the ancient system of medicine, has been considered very important for ages and has grown over the
years. It has been thoroughly looking after the world's healthcare since time immemorial. Samskara, in Ayurveda,
is a process of transformation of inherent properties of a substance. Ghrita is one of the Chaturvidha Sneha explained in Ayurveda and widely used as Ahara and Aushadha. Ghrita can perform multiple actions if appropriately processed. Based on this, many Samskaras are performed for Ghrita, and various pharmacological actions are
subsequently noted. Shata Dhauta Ghrita and Sahasra Dhauta Ghrita are also the outcome of those keen observations; It is prepared by washing cow’s ghee with cold water about a hundred times and a thousand times, respectively. It is considered the best Dahashamaka, Vranaropaka, and a light cream that profoundly penetrates all seven
layers of skin to heal it from within and moisturise it.
MANAGEMENT OF SAWARBHEDA THROUGH PANCHAKARMA- A CASE STUDY
Authors: Chaudhary Anita , S Desai Anant
Published: January 2025

Vocal cord paralysis is a voice disorder when one or both vocal cords do not open or close correctly. In most
cases, no underlying cause for the condition can be found. Symptoms of vocal cord paralysis include changes in
the voice, such as hoarseness or a breathy voice, ineffective coughing, pain in the throat when speaking,
dysphagia, sore throat, aspiration, etc. In Ayurveda, it can be correlated with Swarakshaya based on clinical
presentations. It is a condition where voice alteration is brought about, as seen during speech and announcing with
high or low pitch, inaudible or distinct sound. Due to various Nidana like Athyuchabhashana (speak in a loud
voice), Abhighata (injury), Soka (grief), etc., the aggravated Dosha invades and localizes in the Sabdavahisira
(vocal cords) and leads to changes in the functions of the voice box and causing Swarakshaya. Here, a case report
of 32- a 32-year-old female presenting with symptoms of difficulty speaking and a low-pitched voice, diagnosed
with vocal cord paralysis with respect to Swarakshaya, is narrated. The patient underwent Panchakarma
procedures like Nasya for 7 days with Yashtimadhu taila, followed by ksheera dhooma, Gandoosha with
Yashtimadhu taila and selected Samana medicines (Jivantyadi gritha). The study shows a satisfactory outcome,
particularly in the quality and loudness of voice.

Authors: Surendran Silpa , G Harikrishnan
Published: January 2025

Dyslipidemia is an important modifiable risk factor for the onset of Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular disease.
According to the World Health Organization, Dyslipidemia contributes to over 50% of global ischemic heart disease cases and results in more than 4 million deaths annually. Approximately 80% of lipid disorders are linked to
diet and lifestyle, while the remaining cases are hereditary.
In Ayurveda, symptoms of Dyslipidemia correspond to Medodushti, a condition related to Kapha Dosha and Agnimandya at the level of Dhathu. It is seen as an antecedent stage of Medoroga. Sthoulyahara chikitsa can be implemented for Dyslipidemia, encompassing Deepana, Pachana, Lekhana, Rookshana, Vathanulomana, and
Kapha Medohara karmas.
A LITERARY REVIEW ARTICLE OF AMAVATA W.S.R RHEUMATOID ARTHRI-TIS
Authors: Ahari Manisha , Sharma Ravi , Zahir Ruhi
Published: January 2025

Amavatais currently the most prevalent disease, affecting a significant portion of the elderly population. The term
Amavata comes from the words Ama and Vata. The state known as Ama is when different illnesses within the body
have a harmful influence. Painful illness is the outcome of the Ama occupying Shleshmasthana (Asthisandhi) and
combining it with Vatadosha.
The clinical presentation ofAmavata closely mimics the unique variety of Rheumatological disorders called Rheumatoid Arthritis by their similarities in clinical features like pain, swelling, stiffness, fever, redness, general debility,
and fatigue are almost identical to that of Amavata. Rheumatological disorder is a group of diseases with no specific
medical management in any therapeutics.
Amavata is one of the most challenging diseases for clinicians due to its chronicity, incurability, complications, and
morbidity. Allopathic treatment provides symptomatic relief, but the underlined pathology remains untreated due
to the absence of effective therapy. This gives rise to many side effects, toxic symptoms, adverse reactions, and
more serious complications, such as organic lesions. The treatment procedures described are Langhan, Swedan,
Tikta-Katu, Deepana, Virechana, Basti, etc. So, the present study deals with a systemic review of Amavata from all
the classics of Ayurveda and its management.
TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION: THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TOOLS IN HOLIS-TIC HEALTH
Authors: Mathur Apoorav , Arora Ashish , Chaudhary Vijay
Published: January 2025

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, emphasises personalised care through Prakriti (individual constitution) and Dosha (physiological energies). The integration of modern technology has led to Digital Ayurveda,
combining traditional wisdom with tools like artificial intelligence (AI), telemedicine, wearable devices, and mobile
applications.
Key findings reveal that telemedicine democratizes access to Ayurvedic care, particularly in underserved areas,
while AI enhances diagnostics and provides personalised health recommendations. Wearable devices monitor realtime health metrics aligned with Dosha balances, such as heart rate variability and sleep patterns, helping identify
imbalances early. Mobile apps offer holistic health guidance, including dietary suggestions, yoga, and meditation
practices, empowering individuals to engage proactively with Ayurveda.
This technological integration improves accessibility, precision, and preventive healthcare while preserving Ayurveda’s core principles. However, data privacy, authenticity, and regulation must be addressed. Digital Ayurveda
represents a transformative step toward modern, holistic healthcare.
A REVIEW OF DASHVIDH PAAPKARMA
Authors: sharma Vaishali , Singh yadav Prashant
Published: January 2025

Ayurveda is not only medical practice but a science of life. In Ayurveda scriptures, along with getting rid of diseases, this subject has also been described many times to prevent the occurrence of diseases. Besides the above
topics, Ayurveda describes civilised society, positive thoughts, good values, etc. Acharya Vagbhata, in the second
chapter of the Sutrasthana in the Ashtanga Hridaya, describes the actions that are not done or abandoned by body,
speech, and mind; their number is ten. These are called Dashavidha sinful.
These tenfold sinful acts are 1. Himsa (violence),2. Steya (stealing), 3. Anyathakama(adultery), 4. Paishunya
(Backbiting), 5. Parusha vachana, 6. Anrut vachana (Lying talk), 7. Sambhinna Aalapa (Double talk), 8. Vyapada
(Malicious intent), 9. Abhidya, and 10. Drukviparyaya. These are categorised into three groups: Kaayika (Physical), Vaachika (Vocal), and Maanasika (Psychological).

Authors: Priya R Krishna , Srikanth Babu P.
Published: January 2025

Low back ache is a common complaint in the present era irrespective of age and gender. It can be correlated with
the Katigraha concept in Ayurveda. The patient feels pain and stiffness in the lumbar region, which affects the
person's everyday activities. The causes for this are postural irregularities and nutritional deficiency. A 42-yearold male patient working as a restaurant employee has complained of backache and stiffness for three months. He
had taken allopathic medications, but the result was unsatisfactory. This case was diagnosed as Katigraha and was
treated with Erandamooladi Niruha Vasti 1 in Yoga vasti2 pattern and Agnikarma3
, three sittings with a three-day
gap. The result of the treatment was encouraging. Hence, the study concluded that Katigraha can be managed with
Erandamooladi Niruha Vasti and Agni karma.
AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO MANAGEMENT OF REACTIVE ARTHRITIS WITH RESPECT TO VATARAKTA - A CASE REPORT
Authors: A. Gargote Aishwarya , Jibi Varghese , Khan Almas , Mathew Manna
Published: January 2025

"Reactive arthritis” manifests as a sudden, non-infectious inflammatory joint condition triggered by a preceding
infection that originates elsewhere in the body. This condition frequently implicates pathogens associated with the
genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems, including Chlamydia, Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, and Yersinia, particularly affecting individuals susceptible to such triggers. Recognition of this association may be complicated by the non-specific presentation of diarrhoea, the interval between gastrointestinal and arthritic symptoms, and the wide differential in mono- and oligo-arthritis. An ayurvedic approach to such cases can be correlated with diseases such as vatarakta or Amavata. A 46-year-old female patient recently treated for gastrointestinal
infection developed sudden, non-traumatic, bilateral knee pain and swelling. She was diagnosed with vatarakta
and treated with Panchakarma procedures like Snehana, Swedana and Ksheera basti along with Shaman
aushadi’s (oral medications) and Physiotherapy. The treatment outcome is summarised in terms of a reduction in
the signs and symptoms of reactive arthritis concerning vatarakta, along with an improvement in the quality of
life.
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF SWITRA ROGA: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Sudhakaran Keerthi
Published: January 2025

Skin is the largest organ of the human body. Skin complaints affect people of all ages, from the neonate to the
elderly, and cause harm in several ways, such as discomfort, disfigurement, disability and even death. The condition can lead to a decline in quality of life and self-esteem as it tarnishes the beauty of the human body. Vitiligo is
a common autoimmune pigmentary disorder of great socio-medical importance. It is characterised by white spots
appearing on the skin due to melanocyte deficiency. Vitiligo is a condition presenting with whitish discolouration
of the skin. It is an acquired condition in which circumscribed de-pigmented patches can be seen. The destruction
of melanocytes, pigment-forming cells, causes a lack of melanin and colouring pigment, which leads to this condition. It affects 1-2% of the population worldwide. Onset is usually in childhood, and females are mostly affected. In Ayurveda, the science of life, the " Shwitra " disease can be correlated to vitiligo.
The present study aims to evaluate the action of Ayurvedic medications on Shwitra roga. Due to side effects and
limitations of contemporary science, some harmless and effective medicines are expected from Alternative medical sciences. Ayurveda has excellent potential to treat such autoimmune skin diseases. Here, a case of acute vitiligo treated with Ayurvedic management is recorded. Here, I am presenting a case of 26 a 26-year-old girl who
came to OPD with c/o white patches over the left side behind the neck region, and a notable improvement in the
condition has been observed in this case.
AN AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF TUBAL BLOCKAGE BY CLASSICAL
VIRECHANA W.S.R. TO TUBAL BLOCKAGE – CASE REPORT
Authors: S. Baghel Manoj , Nargave Shubham , Patidar Rachana
Published: January 2025

Nowadays, Vandhyatva (Infertility) is a burning issue with many etiological factors like disturbed lifestyle, stress,
genetic comorbidities, smoking, alcohol consumption, PCOS, hormonal derangement etc. In modern counterparts,
many treatment procedures like IUI, IVF, and hormonal therapies are in practice, but they are costly and also no
surety of results is guaranteed; one of the major causes of infertility is tubal blockage with its high prevalence.
There is no specific treatment protocol for tubal blockage. In this context, the Ayurvedic line of management has
the upper hand, and it has been observed that a single classical Virechana has completely cleared tubal blockage.

Published: January 2025

The paper analyzes the formation of poetics and the unique poetic sensibility of Dušan
Vasiljev from the perspective of the entire poetry book Clouds (1982), published more than
half a century after the author’s death. The goal of such a reading is to show how the modernist
subject of Vasiliev’s poetry develops and forms. From the first to the last cycle of the Clouds
there are different stages of the formation of the modernist voice resonating most strongly after
the war. We look at the question of poetics as the ultimate question of post-war writing from
the point of view of the relationship towards all those categories essentially threatened and
irreversibly “damaged” after the Great War - the relationship with God, an attitude towards
the state, tradition and, what is especially important in the genealogical sense, the relationship
with the mother.
O KLJUČNOM MESTU RAZLIKE MATEJEVE I LUKINE VARIJANTE MOLITVE OČENAŠ
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Serbia, Đurđević Đorđe
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we examine the relationship between two variants of the Lord’s Prayer from
the Gospel of Matthew (69–13) and the Gospel of Luke (112–4). Although both versions of the
Lord’s Prayer are essentially the same or similar, they still outline significant differences. We

base our research on one of the given dissimilarities, which refers to Matthew’s specific under-
standing of the relationship between Heaven and Earth, and the importance of Heaven in his
Christian conception of the world. This is evident primarily in the fact that prayer petitions
or parts of petitions that refer to the Heavens/Heaven are not found in Luke’s version of the

Lord’s Prayer, while in Matthew’s they represent one of its focal points. Semantically re-signi-
fying the source material, Matthew creates a variant of the Lord’s Prayer on the relationship
of opposites, tension, and the ultimate reconciliation of Heaven and Earth, on their current
separation and future wholeness.
PREVODILAČKA POETIKA JOVANA SIMEONOVIĆA ČOKIĆA
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia, Pasula Milica M.
Published: January 2025

Jovan Simeonović Čokić was one of the most prominent residents of Sremski Karlovci, a
local guardian of culture, and a highly respected scholar of his time. Today, his name is rarely
familiar, forgotten not only by readership, but also by academics. His literary engagements
include numerous original poems, as well as translations from German and other European
languages, which were published in the leading Serbian literary journals of his time.
This paper focuses on the selected text corpus: Gottfried Keller’s novella Romeo und
Julia auf dem Dorfe and poems of German poets Heinrich Heine, Ferdinand Freiligrath and
Adelbert von Chamisso, as well as Austrian poets Stephan Milow and Robert Hamerling, with
regards to the translation of Jovan Jovanović Zmaj’s Pod prozorom into German. It analyzes
Simeonović Čokić’s translations with special attention to aspects such as personal names and
toponyms, reductions and expansions, substitutions and cultural-specific lexis. The analysis
shows that his translational poetics is a product of cultural and historical context, and should be perceived not only as an individual contribution, but also as a reflection of the contempo-
rary literary trends.
THE ROLE OF ARTISTIC PRACTICES AND COMMUNICATIVE MEMORY IN PRESERVING DESTROYED BRIDGES OF NOVI SAD AS CULTURAL HERITAGE
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Jankov Sonja R.
Published: January 2025

This paper is a close analysis of contemporary artistic actions related to the destroyed bridges of Novi Sad that are here for the first time collected and selected – actions by association Scenatoria, Igor Friedrich Petković, association Apsolutno, collective Led Art/ Art Clinic/Shock Commune, Dragan Živančević and Andrej Tišma. These actions are in the paper related to the concept of communica- tive memory, as described by scholars Jan Assmann, Astrid Erll, Jeffrey Olick, Harald Welzer, Jay Winter, David Manier, and William Hirst. The author concludes how these artistic actions connect people of several generations in sharing memories about recent history and bridges that exist no longer, on the sites or nearby the remains of the bridges. As such, they apply a very different approach to those by cultural memory, yet they also help remember those bridges as cultural heritage and important sites for the memory of the city.

INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL USE OF PLANT-BASED COMPOUNDS AS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR CONTROLLING ROOT KNOT NEMATODES IN CABBAGE CROPS
Authors: BABA Halimat Shola , APALOWO Oluropo Ayotunde
Published: January 2025

Vegetables are infected by root knot nematodes, especially Meloidogyne incognita, which results in both quantitative and qualitative losses. This study’s objective was to assess the effectiveness of plant extracts from Senna alata and Tamarindus indica in controlling cabbage-infecting root knot nematodes. The experiment was carried out to determine the effect of aqueous and powdered extracts of T. indica and S. alata on the control of root knot nematodes in two cabbage varieties. The test plants underwent phytochemical screening. Data were gathered on plant height, shoot weight, root weight, yield and soil nematode populations. All numerical data were subjected to analysis of variance using the GENSTAT statistical programme. Treating F1 Majesty and F1 Minotaur with powdered T. indica extract resulted in a significantly better (p>0.05) growth and yield (62.77 cm and 53.77 cm) than the other treatments. Significant variations were found between the shoot, root and yield weights of treated plants and their control counterparts. The positive control had the highest number of galled roots in both varieties (6.25 and 8.27). The treated plants performed much better than the control plants. The experiment also revealed some compounds, such as hexadecanoic, butyric and octadecadienoic acid. Based on this study’s findings, it is advisable to make use of these botanicals (T. indica and S. alata) on root knot-infested farms, as they are cheap, available and eco-friendly alternatives to chemical nematicides, which are expensive and not environmentally friendly.
Aristotelian Dramatic Theory Embodied: a Study of Hamartia, Anagorisis and Catharsis in Selected Shakespearian Tragedies
Authors: Alwazaify Sondos Ahmed Khalil
Published: January 2025

Objective: This research aims to explain the terms 'Hamartia', 'Anagorisis', and 'Catharsis' through the analysis of Shakespearian dramas, including examples from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, to make it more relevant for readers. Additionally.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research also offers an important perspective on each topic discussed, providing a comprehensive understanding of these critical literary concepts.
 
Method: This term paper explores the variability of 'Hamartia', 'Anagnorisis', and 'Catharsis' and their various aspects.
 
Results and Discussion: The accepted outcome is that readers will understand the manifestations and instances of those Aristotle's concepts in poetic works. Furthermore, this study poses a question, of whether "Anagnorisis" can be diversified, or if it is just a result of one state of feeling.
 
Research Implications: Aristotle was a student of Plato’s who joined his academy at the age of 18 and contributed massively and abundantly in several fields, such as humanities, theatrical poetics. StudioBinder states that 'Aristotle’s Poetics is a foundational work of dramatic theory that outlines the fundamental principles of effective storytelling. Through his study of Greek tragedies, Aristotle identified key features as essential elements to evoke emotion within an audience and achieve a cathartic experience. By understanding Aristotle’s ideas on poetics, writers can create powerful stories that move and inspire audiences.
 
Originality/Value: This term paper explains sufficiently the multiple aspects that Hamartia, Anagnorisis and Catharsis could be seen through. In addition, since Shakespearean tragedies are written in the renaissance era, fate has its main role in putting the characters under its influence.
