Authors: Johny Jisma , Benedict P Benedict , Aneesh S Aneesh
Published: January 2025

Background: Renal stones are a common health problem, affecting approximately 8-10% of the global population. If left untreated or not treated properly, renal calculi can significantly impair kidney  function, and recurrence is also common. Many formulations with asmari bhedaka property have been mentioned in ayurveda literature which are cost effective, devoid of complications and provide wide scope for the successful treatment of mootrasmari. Aim - To evaluate the effect of sringaveradi choorna in reducing the size, signs and symptoms of renal calculi.Materials and methods: the study was a pre and post clinical trial with 23 participants in a single group selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were given 2g sringaveradi choorna twice daily, before food with dadhimanda as anupana for a period of 30 days. Assessment was done on 0th , 15th and 31st day for subjective parameters (pain and tenderness over renal angle, burning micturition ,dysuria) and objective parameters(hematuria, puscells in urine). Renal calculi size and number were assessed before and after the treatment by taking USG(Abd&pelvis). Results: Both subjective and objective parameters were statistically significant with P <0.0001. Size and number of calculi showed significance with p<0.001.Conclusion: On analysing the results it can be concluded that Sringaveradi choorna is effective in reducing the size and number as well as signs and symptoms of renal calculi.

Published: January 2025

The father of surgery, Acharya Susrutha has mentioned different Parasurgical methods and agnikarma is one among them. Agnikarma is an asset of ayurveda which has been used widely in the clinical practise since ancient times. Agnikarma has been considered as superior than other parasurgical procedures since diseases treated with agnikarma never reoccurs, as well as it gives instant pain relief.  Acharya susruta has indicated agnikarma as a chief parasurgical procedure which is an effective treatment in conditions of severe pain in twak, mamsa, sira, snayu, sandhi, asthi.[1] Acharya has mentioned different materials for agnikarma like pippali, ajasakruth, godanta, sara, salaka, jambavaushta, madhu, guda, sneha etc based on its specific heat retension and transmission capacity on specific tissues.[2] In sira, snayu, asthigata vikaras acharya susruta has mentioned snigdha dravyas like kshoudra, guda, sneha.[2] Snayugata Vata is described within the context of Vatavyadhi. As agni has ushna, Sukshma, theekshna, aashukari guna which are the opposites of vata and kapha doshas, agnikarma is thought to be the best therapy for vata and kapha doshas by eliminating the srotorodha(obstruction) and rectifying the amavastha. Eventhough kshoudra has mentioned for agnikarma it was not used widely, so this article explains the action of kshoudra as dahanopakarana in snayugata roga.
A narrative review on Prathisaraneeya Kshara Karma in second degree internal haemorrhoids
Authors: Arya M S , Benedict P , Deepa M S
Published: January 2025

The ancient Ayurvedic procedure of Kshara Karma has been recognized by Acharyas as a valuable treatment option for effectively managing hemorrhoids (Arshas). Kshara Karma is a para-surgical procedure in Ayurveda that utilizes caustic alkaline substances to manage anorectal conditions. Acharya Sushruta outlines Kshara Karma  under arsho chikitsa adhyaya. Arsho chikitsa incorporates a four-part treatment modality, comprising medication (bheshaja), caustic alkaline therapy (kshara), thermal cauterization (agni), and surgical intervention (sastra). Prathisaraneeya kshara treatment is indicated for hemorrhoids characterized by being soft, extensive, deep-seated, and protruding. Kshara is a potent alkaline caustic substance derived from the ash of specific medicinal plants. It is the most crucial instrument among shastra and anusastra, as it performs functions like excision, cutting and scraping. It also effectively balances all three doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha). Moreover, Kşhara requires specialized techniques for its application.  Also studies proves that prathisaraneeya kshara effectively treats hemorrhoids through its corrosive properties.

A Kantian Analysis of the Fallibility of Moral Intuition
Authors: Wei Zichen (Alex)
Published: January 2025

This study evaluates the reliability of moral intuition in ethical reasoning, juxtaposing its spontaneous, subjective nature against the universal, rational framework of Kantian morality. Drawing on perspectives from ethical intuitionism, empirical psychology, and Kantian philosophy, it examines how moral intuitions are shaped by experience, susceptible to external influences, and prone to inconsistency. Through analyses of moral dilemmas, including the trolley problem and the impact of framing effects, the investigation highlights the variability of intuition. In contrast, Kant's categorical imperative establishes a priori, universal principles as the foundation of ethical truth, rejecting intuition as a dependable moral guide. While intuition may often align with moral outcomes, its inherent susceptibility to error undermines its credibility. Conversely, reasoned deliberations should be advocated as the path to achieving moral certainty.

The primary research questions investigate the essential listening comprehension skills that students should master and whether significant differences exist between the two groups in acquiring these skills, specifically in skimming, scanning, and critical listening. The findings provide practical insights for educators on integrating modern technology into language instruction. Ultimately, this investigation seeks to fill a gap in existing research regarding TikTok's influence on EFL listening comprehension, offering valuable implications for both theoretical understanding and practical application in language education.
D’une collaboration interprofessionnelle à l’interdisciplinarité : Interdépendance dans la formation professionnalisante qatarienne
Authors: KHOUDOUR Souad , GUEBBAS Abla
Published: January 2025

Bien qu’il soit indéniable que la formation contribue à la consolidation des acquis, elle semble, à bien des égards, s’imprégner d’une perspective pourvue de cloisonnement disciplinaire. Dès lors, les enseignants issus de disciplines analogues sont conviés à se concerter afin qu’en résulte une efficience pédagogique. Une injonction à la collaboration interprofessionnelle peu en adéquation avec la mouvance de la sphère pédagogique. Lors d’un stage de courte durée au Qatar, il nous a été possible de percevoir l’intérêt accru porté à la formation professionnalisante interdisciplinaire. Des actants pédagogiques tant des sciences formelles, sociales, naturelles que techniques se réunissent afin que le partage qui en résulte contribue à l’efficience de l’acte pédagogique. D’une injonction à la collaboration interprofessionnelle s’ensuit une collaboration interdisciplinaire. Ainsi, outillés de deux grilles d’observation, nous avons souhaité rendre compte de cette expérience de formation afin de mettre en relief, en premier lieu, les spécificités de cette approche tout en analysant le degré de dépendance. Puis, en second lieu, déterminer l’apport qui résulte d’un tel décloisonnement.
La (co)construction des représentations de l’altérité des harragas sur les médias socionumériques algériens
Authors: KHALDI Nesrine , DEMBRI Kawher
Published: January 2025

Dans le présent travail, il s’agit d’identifier les différentes représentations de l’altérité que les internautes algériens (co) construisent au sujet des harragas en nous focalisant sur la manière dont ces représentations se sont manifestées dans un contexte socionumérique. Nous nous basons sur la distinction des moyens linguistiques permettant aux scripteurs de représenter l’autre-migrant en tant qu’objet de leurs discours. Le focus sera ainsi mis sur le procédé de la désignation ainsi que les différentes modalités qui contribuent à la mise en discours sur l’altérité des harragas en tant que groupe en soi faisant partie de la société algérienne. L’étude a recommandé que les internautes constituant notre échantillon fassent recours à de nombreux processus discursifs, à savoir le discours de victimation, le discours de haine, le pathos, etc. afin de mettre en lumière leurs représentations envers les harragas. L’emploi des diverses formes de phrases ainsi que le recours aux outils lexicaux contribuent également à la mise en discours des représentations de l’altérité.

L’intégration de nouvelles technologies dans l’apprentissage des langues étrangères à l’école primaire : l’audiovisuel comme exemple
Authors: HAMMI Bouthayna
Published: January 2025

Avant l'avènement du numérique, les technologies éducatives utilisées pour dispenser les cours en classe étaient principalement basées sur l'audiovisuel. Le manque de compréhension des processus d'apprentissage liés à l'audiovisuel n'a pas remis en question l'efficacité de ces technologies dans l'enseignement des langues étrangères. Pour évaluer l'influence des nouvelles technologies sur les performances des élèves, nous avons examiné l'apprentissage du français à travers différentes méthodologies, les supports artistiques numériques favorisant la compétence communicative, ainsi que le rôle des supports audiovisuels dans l'enseignement des langues étrangères. Pour donner un fondement théorique à notre recherche, nous nous sommes appuyés sur deux domaines liés au support audiovisuel : la sémiologie et la pédagogie. Par ailleurs, nous abordons l'apprentissage de la langue française avec les nouvelles technologies. Notre recherche s'appuie sur un cadre théorique afin d'évaluer l'impact des nouvelles technologies, en particulier les supports audiovisuels, sur l'apprentissage des langues étrangères à l'école primaire. Quels sont les avantages de l'utilisation des supports numériques audiovisuels dans une classe de français langue étrangère ? Comment pouvons-nous augmenter le niveau des élèves en utilisant l'audiovisuel ?

Authors: AMMARI Djihane , AMARI Nassima
Published: January 2025

Cette contribution se veut une analyse de la construction du sens de la dramatisation en technodiscours produit par les pure players d’information. En effet, l’objectif de s’interroger sur la particularité sémantique de la dramatisation élaborée dans une écologie numérique s’explique par la volonté d’étudier les pratiques technodiscursive dans la presse en ligne pour produire le sens dramatique. Notre recherche s’illustre par un corpus constitué des technodiscours tirés de deux presses en ligne algériennes : TSA et Algérie 360°. Il est rassemblé pendant la propagation de la troisième vague de la covid-19 en 2021. Pour le traiter, nous nous sommes appuyées sur l'approche sémantique discursive et la terminologie proposée par l'analyse du discours numérique. Les résultats montrent que les technomots se chargent d’un effet sémantique dramatique introduit par les différentes combinaisons de lexèmes et de délinéarisatios. Ces derniers ont le sens de crise, de gravité et d’intensification.
Appropriation auctoriale de la fable en contexte socio-numérique
Authors: BOUDECHICHE Nawal
Published: January 2025

Atemporel, le support littéraire est une source inexhaustible d’activités didactiques, parmi lesquelles l’écriture créative en contexte collaboratif et numérique. Dans ce vivier littéraire, la fable, étant un court récit à portée sociocritique, favorise l’expression créative de néo-bacheliers, invités à imaginer une autre fin de la fable « La cigale et la fourmi » à l’ère de la technologie. Cette appropriation auctoriale a favorisé des narrations, où le merveilleux et les réseaux sociaux bouleversent la morale de la fable originelle, à l’aune des représentations des étudiants de la plus-value de la solidarité, au détriment de l’improbation et de la pénalisation. Notre étude consolide les avancées des travaux conduits en psychologie sociale du langage, à l’aune desquels un environnement didactique syntonisant expression narrative, technologie numérique et socioconstructivisme favorise la motivation, l’imagination et la créativité scripturale. Ces données sollicitent une formation des enseignants à un mode didactique opératoire sur la base de la techno-socio-créativité en didactique de la narration.

In facing the ramification of such disruption, many countries have been left with their economies in shambles. Despite the odds, India, South Korea, and Vietnam are the three countries in Asia that have continued to show solid growth throughout the pandemic. Beyond the common economic resilience seen in the present time, the three countries also share mutual defense concerns that trace back to their histories of anti-colonialism. In this paper, we analyze shared features between the three countries that are grounded on the basis of historical anti-colonial struggles, as well as present national security and economic concerns, altogether providing backdrop for a promising three-way alliance.
Guiding Change: Adapting Leadership for Sustained Organizational Success
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: January 2025

Abstract: Organizations seeking long-term success must thoughtfully evolve their leadership approaches to stay relevant in changing times. While past achievements are valuable, leaders must resist complacency and focus on anticipating and shaping the future. This involves scanning the external environment for shifts in demographics, technology, competition, and social/cultural trends, and establishing foundational leadership practices like vision, strategy, learning cultures, stakeholder engagement, and performance management. Recognizing the limitations of traditional hierarchies, leaders must also empower distributed decision-making, apply adaptive leadership principles to tackle complex challenges, and foster continuous improvement through experimentation, data-driven decisions, and reflective practices that embrace inherent organizational paradoxes - blending stability with openness to adaptive evolution in order to transition from past success to future relevance.

Authors: Januwa Putra Wiastopo  , Imelda Imelda
Published: January 2025

Ikan kembung, yang memiliki nilai gizi tinggi dan permintaan konsumen yang terus meningkat, sering kali mengalami penurunan kualitas akibat proses degradasi setelah penangkapan. Penurunan ini tidak hanya mengurangi nilai gizi tetapi juga dapat membuat ikan kembung menjadi beracun jika dikonsumsi dalam keadaan busuk. Meskipun metode tradisional seperti analisa mikroskopis dan kimia dapat digunakan untuk menilai kesegaran ikan, metode ini tidak efisien karena memerlukan waktu, biaya, dan tenaga yang besar. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, penelitian ini mengimplementasikan sistem deteksi kesegaran ikan kembung dengan metode K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). Sistem ini menggunakan fitur warna RGB-HSV dan tekstur GLCM dari citra ikan kembung untuk membedakan antara ikan kembung segar dan busuk. Dataset yang digunakan terdiri dari 700 citra ikan kembung, yang dibagi menjadi data pelatihan dan pengujian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyediakan alat yang mudah digunakan oleh penjual dan pembeli ikan kembung dalam menentukan kesegaran ikan dengan lebih akurat dan efisien. Hasil penelitian menggunakan normalisasi dengan akurasi 96%, presisi 96% dan recall 96%, menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan berbasis KNN dengan fitur warna dan tekstur dapat secara efektif mendeteksi kesegaran ikan kembung, memberikan solusi yang lebih akurat dibandingkan metode tradisional. Pendekatan ini memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam proses penentuan kesegaran ikan kembung, membantu mengurangi kesalahan dalam pemilihan ikan kembung oleh konsumen

Published: January 2025

Kepadatan lalu lintas adalah salah satu penyebab utama terjadinya kemacetan. Dalam upaya untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini, teknologi dapat dimanfaatkan untuk memantau kondisi lalu lintas dengan lebih mudah dan akurat. Apabila masalah ini tidak segera diatasi, kemungkinan besar kemacetan terus terjadi dan meluas hingga ke berbagai tempat. Sehingga mengganggu aktivitas sehari-hari serta menyebabkan masalah yang lain seperti peningkatan polusi udara yang berpotensi membahayakan kesehatan masyarakat. Pada penelitian ini, dikembangkan purwarupa sistem untuk mendeteksi tingkat kepadatan lalu lintas berdasarkan persentase kapasitas jalan yang digunakan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah background subtraction dan frame differencing yang dikembangkan dengan software Visual Studio Code dan library OpenCV. Kedua metode ini diterapkan untuk menghitung persentase kapasitas jalan dengan membandingkan luas area kendaraan dengan luas area jalan. Proses pengujian dilakukan menggunakan beberapa dataset video yang merepresentasikan berbagai kondisi lalu lintas. Sistem yang dibuat mampu mendeteksi tingkat kepadatan lalu lintas dengan tingkat akurasi keseluruhan sebesar 90,32%. Akurasi terendah terdapat pada dataset video VID_20240522_Sore_2 yaitu sebesar 84,62%, sedangkan akurasi tertinggi dicapai pada dataset video VID_20240522_Sore_1 yaitu sebesar 92,05%. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode yang digunakan efektif dalam mendeteksi kepadatan lalu lintas.

Social Learning and Climate Action: How Communities Can Drive Environmental Policy Through Collective Behaviour
Authors:   Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan, Shah Syed
Published: January 2025

This study examines how social trust, social learning, and policy incentives drive community-based climate action, using an adapted version of Coleman’s collective action theory. By integrating social dynamics into a utility model, we explore individual motivations for ­participating in climate-positive behaviours within community settings. The model was tested through simulations, analysing different levels of trust, learning, and external incentives. Findings reveal that high social trust significantly boosts participation by enhancing the perceived benefits of collective action, while social learning amplifies participation through observed positive environmental impacts. In communities with weaker social structures, policy incentives ­effectively increase engagement, helping to reach participation thresholds critical for impactful climate action.

Authors: Elva Gustiaeni Nengsi  , Andi Azhar
Published: January 2025

Fashion plays a significant role in shaping self-identity, particularly among Indonesian millennials living in the digital and globalized era. This study aims to analyze the role of fashion as a visual communication medium in expressing millennials' self-identity through Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. Using a qualitative literature review method, data were collected from relevant secondary sources, such as journal articles, books, and dissertations. The analysis reveals that fashion functions as a system of signs containing denotative meanings, such as color or design, and connotative meanings reflecting personality, social status, or local culture. Social media platforms, such as Instagram and TikTok, serve as key arenas for millennials to showcase their fashion styles and construct their public identities. The findings affirm that fashion not only reflects but also shapes self-identity within the context of negotiating globalization and locality. This study contributes theoretically to semiotic studies and practically to the fashion and marketing industries. However, the absence of direct empirical data is a limitation, suggesting that future research should integrate field methods to deepen understanding of the interaction between fashion and millennial identity.

Published: January 2025

This study examines how Shopee leverages gamification to increase user engagement, particularly by enhancing the time spent on its application. The research employs a qualitative approach with a literature review method, analyzing relevant studies on gamification in e-commerce. Findings reveal that gamification elements such as rewards, challenges, and social interaction significantly contribute to prolonged app usage. Rewards motivate users with tangible incentives, challenges create engaging experiences through progressively difficult tasks, and social interaction fosters connections through competition and collaboration. These results align with Self-Determination Theory and Flow Theory, which emphasize the role of fulfilling psychological needs and creating immersive experiences in driving engagement. The study provides practical insights for app developers, highlighting the importance of designing effective gamification strategies to enhance user retention and loyalty. However, limitations include the absence of primary empirical data, suggesting future research should explore the direct impact of gamification on diverse user demographics through quantitative or mixed-method approaches.

Sistem penggerak pada robot khususnya mobile robot merupakan hal paling penting. Pada mobile robot yang menggunakan sistem penggerak swerve drive ditemukan inovasi mengatasi masalah agar dapat mengendalikan roda swerve drive secara real-time melalui komunikasi I2C. Sistem ini terdiri dari mikrokontroler master dan slave, di mana mikrokontroler master bertanggung jawab mengirimkan data RPM dan posisi ke mikrokontroler slave. Mikrokontroler slave kemudian mengirimkan data tersebut ke VESC untuk mengatur steering dan driving roda swerve drive. Proses pengembangan melibatkan perancangan perangkat keras dan perangkat lunak yang mendukung komunikasi I2C serta implementasi kontrol PID untuk mencapai stabilitas dan akurasi dalam pengendalian kecepatan dan posisi roda. Nilai PID pada steering adalah Kp=0.03, Ki=0, dan Kd=0.0007. Sedangkan nilai PID pada driving adalah Kp=0.022, Ki=0.03, dan Kd=0.00012. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa sistem ini mampu memberikan respon cepat dan stabil terhadap perubahan set point dengan error steady-state yang minimal. Dalam sistem juga menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi I2C antar mikrokontroler juga dapat berjalan secara real-time, total waktu transfer antar master-slave dan slave-master adalah 0.002 seconds dan kecepatan transfernya 8000 bytes per seconds.

Untuk mengurangi risiko dan dampak banjir di Indonesia, bendungan harus memiliki sistem peringatan dini dan pencegahan banjir. Metode fuzzy digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk merancang sistem yang dapat secara otomatis memantau dan mengontrol ketinggian air di bendungan. Sistem memanfaatkan sensor ultrasonik HC-SR04 untuk mengukur ketinggian air dan sensor hujan untuk memantau curah hujan. Mikrokontroler ESP32 Devkit V1 memproses data dari kedua sensor dan menampilkannya secara real-time pada layar LCD 16x2 dan aplikasi Blynk berbasis IoT. Motor servo MG996R, yang dikendalikan oleh logika fuzzy, mengontrol buka-tutup kran ball valve. Ini mengatur aliran air dan menjaga ketinggian air tetap di batas aman. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan sistem dapat memantau dan mengontrol ketinggian air dengan baik. Pengujian sistem keseluruhan menunjukkan potensi banjir yang dihasilkan dari defuzzifikasi sangat dekat dengan hasil simulasi Matlab, dengan error rata-rata 7.54%. Misalnya, pada pengujian kelima, rata-rata tren curah hujan sebesar 3.78 mm/detik dan rata-rata kenaikan level air sebesar 0.14 cm/detik menghasilkan potensi banjir 80%, dengan error sebesar 3.03% dibandingkan hasil Matlab.
