FROM TRADITIONAL INDIAN MEDICINE
Authors: Kumar Verma Hemendra , Sharma Shyoram , K Sharma Mahendra , Dhabhai Neelam
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine, elucidates the process of fetal development, emphasis-ing the union of sperm, ovum, and soul to form the fetus. Despite this intricate process, the potential for fetal defects, termed Garbha Vikruti, exists due to factors such as vitiation in sperm or ovum. Ayurveda attributes these defects to the mother's pre-conception and gestational diet, lifestyle, teratologic agents, and Dosha vitia-tion, impacting organogenesis and leading to diverse forms of Garbha Vikruti. The severity and timing of Dosha vitiation during pregnancy are critical in determining the extent of abnormalities, influencing fetal health and longevity. Objectives: This study explores the concepts of Garbh Vikruti and teratogenicity in Ayurveda. The research delves into the correlation between Ayurveda's Avayava Utpatti and Modern Organogenesis, examining sources including classical Ayurveda texts, journal articles, textbooks on embryology, and evidence-based re-search articles. Materials and Methods: The study synthesises information from classical Ayurveda texts (Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Kashyapa Samhita), Ayurveda journal articles, embryology/anatomy text-books, and research articles from reputable databases. The correlation between Ayurvedic and modern concepts is analysed to understand the factors causing fetal defects. Results: The article explores Ayurvedic concepts such as Beeja (gametes), Beejabhaga (chromosomes), Beejabhagavayava (genes), Aatmakarma (spiritual influ-ences), Aashaya (uterine abnormalities), Kaala Dosha (temporal influences), and Matuaaharvihara (diet and lifestyle) as factors contributing to Garbha Vikruti. The study discusses the role of vitiated Beeja, chromosomal anomalies, genetic diseases, spiritual influences, uterine abnormalities, temporal factors, maternal diet and life-style in causing teratological malformations.
Conclusion: Fetal defects are categorized into genetic (Beeja Dosha) and metabolic (Garbha Vighatakara Bha-va) factors. Genetic defects include conditions like cleft lip and congenital heart defects, while metabolic defects encompass neural tube defects. The study emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to understanding and managing these factors, ensuring optimal fetal health and preventing future diseases. Prenatal advisors are urged to discourage the consumption of certain harmful foods, contributing to a comprehensive strategy for fetal well-being and future health.
AYURVEDIC APPROACH FOR CONCEIVING A HEALTHY PROGENY: A REVIEW
Authors: - Shubhanshi , Lakra Ankit
Published: February 2024

Parenthood is a blessing for all time. Due to today's competitive world, the younger generation wants children
with excellent health, high intelligence, and wisdom. But in today's dysfunctional societies, people aren't paying
attention to marital age, healthy daily routines, or seasonal routines because of career orientation and busy schedules. As a result, various disorders that affect physical, psychological, and reproductive outcomes are emerging.
The goal of a healthy humanity is being threatened by the rising incidence of congenital flaws in newborns, which
is causing great anxiety in the medical community. These congenital flaws might be classified as minor, significant, anatomical, physiological, or latent. A healthy progeny must have healthy parents, according to Ayurvedic
beliefs. The physical changes that a mother experiences at each stage of pregnancy are also covered in detail in
Ayurveda, as well as the embryo's growth in the womb. In "Pregnancy Vyakaran," the overall pregnancy is discussed. In a chapter called "Garbhavakranti," the text Charaka Samhita also discusses the fetus' growth. Nature
has entrusted us with a significant amount of duty. This knowledge is crucial and urgently required for the welfare
of a better society with healthy offspring using Ayurveda.

Authors: kumari P Ramya , Ramadevi Ch , Anasuya K
Published: February 2024

Keratoconus is a bilateral and asymmetric disease that results in progressive thinning and steeping of the cornea,
leading to irregular astigmatism and decreased visual acuity. Integrative medicine has no proper treatment, so an
attempt is made with ancient medicine. A case of 17year male patient came to Shalakya OPD at Dr B R K R Govt.
Ayurvedic College and Hospital with complaints of blurred vision in both eyes, double vision (Rt>lt) and also
itching sensation and giddiness while rotating head for eight months and diagnosed with keratoconus at the previous
hospital where he has consulted before. In Ayurveda, there is no direct reference to keratoconus; based on the
symptoms, it can be considered Vataja Timira, a Drishtigata netra roga. This can be correlated to the advanced
condition of keratoconus, considering Vata dosha involvement. The plan of treatment for this is Vatahara and
Brumhana Chikitsa. Firstly, Snehapana followed by Shodhana chikitsa like Virechana, Nasya and Samana chikitsa
like Saptamruta lauha, Triphala ghruta orally, Kriyakalpa procedure like Akshitarpana, Putapaka, Pindi and Seka.
Treatment has been given for three months, and the subject has reported reduced symptoms and showed signs of
improvement in vision. Thus, it can be concluded that with the help of Ayurvedic management, the disease did not
progress.
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF PARIPLUTAA YONIVYAPAD W.S.R. TO BILATERAL TUBAL BLOCKAGE: A CASE STUDY
Authors: S Supriya , N Sukumar , Rawal P.K. , S Sunita
Published: February 2024

Tubal blockage is the second most common cause of female infertility. Acharya Charaka and Vagbhata have considered that complications of Yonivyapad lead to infertility. A common complication of PIDs (Pelvic In-flammatory Diseases) is tubal blockage; hence, tubal blockage can be co-related with Paripluta Yonivyapad, which is caused by Vata and Pitta Dosha is similar to the preliminary stage of the tubal block as all its symptoms are suggestive of PID. The methodology used was a single-armed, open-labelled case study of a subject of 34 years old female. Her history revealed early pregnancy loss, posterior wall intramural fibroid followed by infer-tility due to bilateral tubal blockage and also had dyspareunia. She was advised to undergo surgical manage-ment, but she refused and then approached our hospital. After thorough examinations, she was treated with Ayurvedic medications followed by Uttarabasti, having Shophaghna, Shulahara, Rasayana, Tridoshahara and Pramaathi actions. As a result, she successfully got conceived. It concludes that Ayurvedic management is suc-cessful and safe, so an effort has been made to share the protocol for the advancement of Ayurvedic science for the welfare of mankind.

Published: February 2024

Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) affects 10-30% of females of the reproductive age group and 50% in the
perimenopausal age group. This is a recognised issue that affects fertility. Several medications are available in
contemporary medicine to manage it, but the results are unsatisfactory. The earliest systematic medical system,
Ayurveda, describes many treatment etiquettes for Raktapradara in its texts. We present here a case study of a 35-
year-old female patient who had been bleeding excessively during the menstrual period for more than five years.
The case was diagnosed as DUB. She approached our hospital after failing to get improvement from modern medicine. She was treated with medication prescribed in Ayurveda. This case study demonstrates the competency of
Ayurveda treatment for DUB compared to different treatment protocols.

On the basis of previously performed measurements, this paper presents the values of self-regulating coefficient for active and reactive power with respect to voltage, of one load class which is an important part of total electric power system consumption. This load class is households in buildings without central heating. Self- regulating coefficients are determined for two characteristic seasons: winter and summer. For each season, the values of these coefficiens are presented for three characteristic week days (working day, Saturday and Sunday) and for four six-hour time intervals within each day. Thereafter, all determined values of self-regulating coefficients are validated on the basis of repeated measurements. Thus, the coefficients presented in the paper are recommented for load modelling of households in buildings without central heating in distribution areas in which this load class has the same or similar load structure.

In addition to the thermal and mechanical non-electrical properties of the material, the third, important group consists of chemical properties. Chemical properties imply certain chemical reactions on materials in the presence of ions. From the aspect of application of materials in electrical engineering, and engineering in general, the most important chemical properties, with the exception of electrochemical ones, are corrosion and oxidation. The paper will review corrosion and one of the ways of corrosion protection, which is cathodic protection. The destruction of a material as a result of a chemical action is called corrosion. As with other chemical reactions, the corrosion rate depends on the temperature and concentration of the reactants and their products. Additional factors, such as mechanical stress, abrasion or radiation, can accelerate the corrosion process. In general, metal corrosion leads to the destruction (destruction) of materials by a chemical reaction, and is completely analogous to the anodic reaction. Solid corrosion products may or may not be visible. In the case of iron, the result of corrosion is known as rust, and the process itself is called rust. The electrical corrosion protection process comes down to allowing the metal potential to be more negative (relatively cathode) than the corrosion potential. Chemically, this can be achieved through an appropriate galvanic coupling or electrically, with an appropriate current. Effective cathodic protection of objects implies that at each point of the protected object the criterion of cathodic protection is fulfilled, which is defined as a value of potential that is less than a predefined value

Dielectrics are an important group of materials from the aspect of electric power systems. They have the task of separating highvoltage parts from grounding system. Also, it is necessary to separate the parts that are at different potentials. Over time, during operation, due to weather or other factors, such as low / high temperature, humidity, etc. there are changes in the dielectric properties of the material. This weakens the characteristics and dielectric breakdown can occur. A breakdown can also occur due to the increased value of the voltage at the ends of the dielectric. This also increases the concentration of conductive carriers within the dielectric itself which leads to breakdown. The main characteristic of dielectrics is their tendency to polarize under the action of an electric field, which distinguishes them from conductors. The most important electrical parameters of the dielectric are: relative dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor, specific internal and specific surface electrical resistance, as well as dielectric strength. In this paper, the emphasis is placed only on the dielectric loss factor. Due to the importance of dielectrics, there is a tendency to constantly check their electrical parameters. Control is necessary, both during the installation itself, and periodically or after the accident. The dielectric loss factor is an important indicator of the state of the dielectric itself and its ability to perform its basic function in the power system. The paper reviews the method of measuring the dielectric loss factor in current measuring transformers. Measurement of dielectric loss factors is applied only to transformers with a primary winding immersed in liquid insulation. The most commonly used methods are the Schering or Glin Bridge

The paper presents a procedure for improving the calculation of the measurement uncertainty of a non-iterative algorithm for locating partial discharge in mineral oil by the all-acoustic method. The specificity of the given algorithm is the approximation (assumption) that the temperature of the mineral oil (the speed of the acoustic signal) is constant over the volume of the material. Since in actual exploitation conditions, the temperature of mineral oil is non-stationary, inhomogeneous, and dependent on influential external factors, this assumption can be a great source of measurement uncertainty in determining the location of partial discharge by a given algorithm. The non-iterative algorithm has 19 parameters, i.e., a relatively large nineteen- dimensional state space that needs to be investigated to quantify the impact of changes in oil temperature on the combined measurement uncertainty budget. For a given problem, the generation and exploration of state space can be effectively achieved by applying the Monte Carlo method from the field of artificial intelligence. In this paper, for a specific sensors' position, the influence of the shape and dimensions of the area filled with mineral oil (in which partial discharge can occur) on the contribution of oil temperature to the standard combined measurement uncertainty of the non-iterative algorithm is investigated. Also, the possibilities of applying the acquired insights (taking into account modern economic sensory solutions) in the concepts of continuous monitoring of the occurrence of partial discharges in mineral oil within the Industrial Internet of Things were discussed.

The paper considers the application of nuclear magnetic resonance to measure fluid flow. The paper is of an experimental nature. Flowmeter based on nuclear magnetic resonance is extremely precise. The combined measurement uncertainty can be 0.1 %. Such a value of measurement uncertainty indicates that it is a matter of a deterministic and not of a stochastic quantity. This high degree of reliability of the method is theoretically and mathematically described. The paper presents a measurement scheme for flow measurement. Water flow measurement was performed on the principle of nuclear magnetic resonance and on the basis of tritiated water (which is considered to be the most accurate classical method). The obtained results show that the measurement of flow based on nuclear magnetic resonance is more accurate (especially at higher flow). This is explained by the higher inertial mass of HTO tritiated water molecules than the standard H2O water mass and the possible transition of tritiated water to H3HeO. In this way, it has been proven that tracing water based on nuclear magnetic resonance is the only real tracing of water by water. The obtained results shows that tracing water with tritiated or heavy water is not tracing water by water which is explained by different inertial masses.

The subject of this paper is a "case study" of a breakdown of a high voltage 110 kV cable laid in the ground. This work shows that the determination of cable geometry and defects is possible by means of X - ray image analysis. The results were confirmed by destructive expertise. Comparative results of expertise obtained by X - ray image analysis and optical analysis are presented. In the case shown, there was a breakdown of the main cable insulation. The local exceeding of the critical electric field could occur only due to a drastic disturbance of the geometry, which had to be proven. In this paper nas been studied how it is possible to perform cable geometry analysis without destructive interventions and procedures. The degree of eccentricity of cable conductors, the structure and defects of both conductors and cable insulators can be determined with great reliability. For the presented case, the value of eccentricity at the breakdown point is less than 10%, which could not lead to the breakdown of the main insulation. On the other hand, the details in the x-ray images show that there is a "runaway" spike in the conductor of the outer sheath of the order of 5 mm. It is assumed that such a defect led to the breakdown of the main cable insulation.

Numerous power plants are still using Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) technology in their telecommmunication transport network. The main reason is that this technology fully meets requirements regarding network availability, reliability and data security. However, the production and delivery of SDH equipment and its spare parts stopped by the end of 2020 and technical support will cease by the end of 2025, which imposed the need to choose appropriate contemporary solution that would replace the existing telecommunication transport network and respond to the specific requirements for critical data transmission. This paper deals with the analyses of currently available transport technologies which will be suitable for SDH migration and transmission of TDM services. The analyses considered: Optical transport networks (OTN), MPLS-TE/MPLS-TP, Carrier Ethernet and SD-WAN. The paper offers a summary of the results of performance analysis and comparative analysis of proposed technologies that can meet the requirements of telecommunications traffic of high- risk plants (such as power plants) and enable phased implementation, without disrupting the system in operation

Hypertension is a commonly encountered disease in daily clinical practice, but often goes unnoticed by its sufferers. Complications can occur in various organs, with the most significant being complications affecting the heart. The environment plays a role in hypertension, where inhabitants living in coastal areas tend to suffer from hypertension due to high sodium consumption, while in highland areas, hypertension is more influenced by acute hyperbaric hypoxia conditions, although its pathophysiology is not yet precisely known. Various studies have yielded diverse results. North Maluku Province is an archipelagic region with a large coastal area, and no research has been conducted there, prompting this study. An analytical observational study was conducted using a cross-sectional approach, focusing on the population of hypertensive individuals residing in the coastal area of Maitara and the highland area of Gurabunga, Tidore. Samples were consecutively selected until the required sample size was met. Variables examined included gender, age, occupation, salt consumption patterns, body mass index, ancestry, alcohol consumption habits, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Analysis was performed using an independent t-test when sample homogeneity conditions were met. Significant differences were found in some demographic-clinical variables. There was a significant difference in diastolic blood pressure between the Gurabunga area and the coastal area of Maitara, but no significant difference was observed in systolic blood pressure.
Analysis of the Influence of the Announcement of Stock Splits on Insider Trading Indicators in the Indonesian Stock Exchange Environment for the 2013-2023 Period
Authors: Sormin Rafie Thaqif Altamis
Published: February 2024

The phenomenon of stock split is a corporate action to increase the number of shares outstanding in the market with the aim of making the stock price more affordable for investors. This practice is often carried out by company management to enhance stock liquidity and attract investor interest without necessarily increasing net income. However, although Stock Splits are generally considered a positive policy, some studies indicate that in some cases, Stock Splits can be exploited for insider trading activities, especially in markets with weak regulations or emerging markets. The aim of this research is to find out whether there are indicators of insider trading from stock split policies based on similar behavior in capital markets where capital market regulations are still not well regulated ( emerging markets ). By using the event study method, this research did not find any indication of insider trading because there was no cumulative abnormal return in the positive direction before the stock split was executed. By using multiple regression analysis, this research confirms that there is no indication of insider trading which is influenced by the level of state ownership, small company asset size and the tendency to split shares with a high split ratio as has been tested by previous research.

Analysis of Physical Tourism Tickets: Can Security Printing be Used?
Authors: Amri Lala Hucadinota Ainul
Published: February 2024

Selling physical tickets at tourist destinations is often a problem in the world of tourism. The number of brokers and fake tickets is always the main problem. Physical tickets are very easy to counterfeit and very easy to distribute to irresponsible brokers. As a result, many tourists are deceived and often have to pay twice or even more just because they bought fake tickets. This research analyzes the problems caused by physical tickets and analyzes alternative security printing solutions that can be applied to ticketing systems using descriptive qualitative research methods. The results of this research are that ticketing using security printing will require greater costs and still pose a risk of ticket counterfeiting. Security printing might have benefits if it were given more value, such as embossing for braille letters aimed at blind tourists. However, for greater benefits, digital ticketing will have a smaller risk of counterfeiting and have greater profits.

Forecasting is an important part of every business organization and for every very significant management decision. The purpose of forecasting is to reduce the risk or uncertainty faced by a company in making short-term operational decisions and in planning for long-term growth. The company that is the object of this research is a company operating in the printing sector. Focus on observing receipt products because receipt orders are the highest every month. In the implementation of the production process, there are often shortages of raw materials such as NCR paper or non-carbon required paper so that delivery times are late to reach consumers. The effort used to eliminate/reduce the gap between production and sales is to use a forecasting method which aims to determine product quantity adjustments and when they are needed. Based on data processing using cyclical and linear methods, the method used in calculating the next month's forecast is the Linear method. The linear method has the smallest error values, namely SEE = 1100.57, MAD = 871 and MAPE = 26.34. The total forecast demand for receipt products in November is 4839 pieces

Rare diseases, often referred to as orphan diseases, comprise a diverse group of conditions affecting millions globally. Despite their individual rarity, these diseases collectively pose significant challenges to patients, healthcare systems, and society. The journey to diagnose and treat rare diseases is fraught with obstacles, including limited awareness among healthcare providers, scarcity of diagnostic resources, and formidable challenges in developing effective treatments due to small patient populations and regulatory hurdles. However, recent advancements in genomics, precision medicine, and innovative research methodologies have sparked hope for improved diagnosis, treatment, and care for those affected. This manuscript delves into the multifaceted landscape of rare diseases, highlighting the challenges patients face from diagnosis to treatment and the impact of these conditions on their lives. We explore and highlight the innovations and advancements that offer new hope, promising therapies, and the collaborative efforts propelling the field forward. Additionally, we address the ethical, social, and policy considerations integral to rare disease management, emphasizing the need for inclusivity, equity, and patient-centered care. In summary, addressing the challenges of rare diseases requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders, including researchers, healthcare providers, policymakers, patients, and advocacy groups. By embracing a comprehensive and collaborative approach, we can pave the way for significant advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of rare diseases, ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life for affected individuals and their families.

Тhe enzymes adenosine deaminase (ADA), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) and glutaminase (GL) are involved in the development of both the type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). They can be considered as targets in the prevention and/or treatment of these diseases. The autoimmune response of the body is caused by the post-translational protein modifications, one of which is protein citrullination, when arginine residue transforms to citrulline. This work compares the ADA, DPP4, GL enzymes and protein citrullination in blood plasma from T1DM, T2DM patients and relatively healthy individuals. The enzymes were isolated and purified from the blood samples. We found that DPP4 activity was significantly higher in the plasma of patients compared to controls, particularly in T1DM. Currently the medicines based on DPP4 inhibitors are used in the treatment of T2DM. Our results indicate that this treatment strategy can be recommended in the T1DM treatment as well.
