Role of Ayurveda in Enhancement of Mobility and Muscle Strength of the Elderly – A Review
Authors: Kaushik Jyoti
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Aging is associated with several diseases, which are mainly due to the depletion of physiological  reserves and the weakening of the immune mechanism. People’s quality of life is reduced by many health problems  such as pain, fatigue, and mobility impairments. Decreased mobility and decreased muscle strength end up with  multiple medications without complete treatment, leading to the deterioration of a person’s physical and mental health.  Ayurveda primarily focuses on maintaining general health by preventing the entry of disease-causing substances to  keep a person healthy. India is only the second country with the largest elderly population in the world after China.  Ayurveda offers a wide range of preventive measures to combat the aging process. It has a focused branch called  Rasayana, Panchakarma therapy which mostly treats geriatric problems. Various Panchakarma therapies, such as  Abhayanga, Shastika Shali Pinda Sweda, Janu Basti, and Kati Basti aim to improve a person’s mobility and muscle  strength. In spite, of this regular Yoga and Pranayama, Lifestyle modifications can help improve muscle strength in  old age. Aim: The aim of the study is to find out Ayurvedic principles significant in the enhancement of mobility and muscle  strength in old age peoples. Material and Methods: Systematic data from various journals, text books, and published articles are collected. Conclusion: Ayurvedic therapies, such as panchakarma and rasayana chikitsa, and lifestyle modifications, work  synergistically to improve physical functions and vitality. Integrating Ayurveda with conventional geriatric care  provides a comprehensive strategy to address the multifaceted challenges of aging.
Modelling pre-Hispanic settlement patterns in Alto de Toche, Colombia
Authors: Velandia César Augusto , Ramírez Daniel , Carvajal Jhony , Bejarano David
Published: July 2024

Highlights:

The research contributes to a better understanding of the forms of settlement in the ancient landscape of Alto de Toche, influenced by Cerro Machin Volcano disaster risk.
A terrain modelling reconstructed a geoarchaeological mountain landscape, composed of massive systems of terraces at Alto de Toche Wax Palm cloud forest.
From digital photogrammetry in fieldwork, three sites were detailed. A DEM of the settlement pattern projected 37 possible new terraces. The resulting map is accessible in an ArcGIS-online web application.

Abstract:
The enhancement of the archaeological terraces on the Alto de Toche and the Wax Palm forest is unprecedented. The Toche region in Colombia contains an outstanding anthropised ecosystems presence (8000 BP), characterised by complex inherited cultural patterns, according to the evidences on the eastern margin of the Andes Central Cordillera. The research focused on i) the cultural landscape of the Premontane and Montane Cloud Forests of the Alto de Toche, built by the Toches; ii) its high-altitude settlements, interpreted as a strategy of ecological knowledge, deeply linked to their symbolic understanding of the landscape. Fieldwork in three sets of tambos (terraces for habitational settlements) in La Carbonera, Gallego, and Las Cruces sites was analysed using remote sensing, drone digital photogrammetry, and on-site data. Their interpretation projected a settlement pattern; a typological-topological tambos classification inferred its possible functions such as sighting, funerary, and dwelling, from 2600 MASL to biggest sites at 3000 MASL, related to the sun-moon proximity presumed for gatherings. The authors conclude that the patterns respond to a territorial understanding of its resources and the vertical exploitation of the agricultural thermal floors and micro-watersheds, associated with the east-west solar illumination over both sides of the Tochecito River basin; linked with the transit between ridges and steep slopes, through the network of pathways that originated the Quindío Trail. Data were projected crossing field-data photogrammetry with GIS spatial analysis; this resulted in a terrain model that reconstructs a geoarchaeological landscape composed of massive systems of tambos. Thirty-seven new sites were classified, twenty of them above 2800 MASL. The resulting terrain model facilitates a non-invasive previous prospection for fieldwork planning and a more feasible knowledge of accessibility, due to on-site transit difficulties (steep slopes and very unstable soil due to cattle ranching). Finally, the terrain model was uploaded in an easy-to-access ArcGIS-online web application for sharing with community stakeholders and visiting scientists.

Published: July 2024

Highlights:

La combinación de diversos métodos digitales para la reconstrucción virtual es una poderosa herramienta para la difusión y la investigación del patrimonio arqueológico.
El trabajo con cientos de fragmentos hallados en la tumba de Henenu ha permitido la reconstrucción virtual de cuatro estelas funerarias, con especial detalle en el caso de la estela A.
Las hipótesis, cálculos e interpretaciones derivadas de estas reconstrucciones virtuales han contribuido a identificar la posición inicial de estas estelas en el monumento.

Resumen:
Este trabajo pretende demostrar cómo la combinación de métodos digitales para la reconstrucción virtual en arqueología es mucho más que una simple herramienta para la difusión del patrimonio. A través del estudio de la tumba de Henenu (TT 313: Deir el-Bahari, Luxor), este artículo demuestra que los métodos de reconstrucción virtual constituyen una herramienta eficaz para examinar diversas hipótesis. Cientos de fragmentos de estelas fueron encontrados por la expedición del Museo Metropolitano (Nueva York) en 1922-1923. Tras este descubrimiento, los arqueólogos reconstruyeron cuatro estelas, destacando la estela A. Una vez recuperados los datos arqueológicos y arquitectónicos, los especialistas del MKTP procedieron a reconstruir las posibles dimensiones de estas estelas mediante técnicas digitales. Además, se examinó si las estelas encajaban en los nichos originales construidos para este propósito. En este artículo se plantea el flujo de trabajo empleado desde el escaneado láser hasta el modelado de las estelas, usando un escáner láser para documentar la tumba. Los datos fueron procesados con Leica Cyclone para obtener una malla, aunque la malla presentaba algo de “ruido”, anomalía que debió ser corregida con otro software. El resultado fue entonces exportado a Blender. De este modo se consiguió la reconstrucción virtual de la estela A de Henenu, que recibió texturas y otros rasgos con Substance Painter y Photoshop. El tema principal de la estela es la provisión de ofrendas y la garantía de beneficios para el difunto, lo que explicaría que el nicho de erección de la estela estuviera a la entrada de la tumba. Como se describe en las conclusiones, gracias a la aplicación de las técnicas de reconstrucción virtual y a los cálculos derivados de la misma, se ha podido elegir una de las hipótesis de reconstrucción y localización de las estelas, ofreciendo una respuesta a la pregunta inicial que se planteaba sobre el caso de la estela A.

Silage is one of the products of anaerobic fermentation feed processing. The purpose of anaerobic fermentation feed processing is to extend the shelf life (preservation), maintain nutritional content (feed quality), improve palatability and digestibility. Activities were carried out on sheep farms in Tambak Bayan Village, Percut Sei Tuan, Deli Serdang Regency. The methods used include socialization / counseling, training / practice of making silage and mentoring. Evaluation is done by assessing the performance of farmers in practicing silage making. Indicators of the success rate of socialization, training activities can be assessed from the ability of farmers to make silage feed independently and assess the quality of silage physically (qualitative). The outputs obtained include: a) increased knowledge of farmers in feed processing, b) produced silage feed products, c) able to assess the quality of silage feed physically (organoleptic).
