An Active Power Factor Corrected Power Supply fed Induction Motor Drive by Controlling the Leakage Inductance for Transformer with Soft Switching Strategy
Authors: Jagata Kotasatyavathi and Guduru Ravi Kumar
Published: April 2021

Nowadays the use of electronic equipment finds a progressive development in the modern world. Hence it
becomes a mandate to check whether the harmonic content of line current of any electronic device which is
connected to the ac supply meets the appropriate standards. This demand is satisfied by implementing the
Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuit in order to make the input current to be in sinusoidal in nature and
in-phase with the input voltage. Numerous solutions are available to make the line current almost sinusoidal.
This paper describes an isolated power factor corrected power supply that utilizes the leakage inductance of
the isolation transformer to provide boost inductor functionality. The bulk capacitor is in the isolated part of
the power supply allowing for controlled startup without dedicated surge limiting components. A control
method based on switch timing and input/output voltage measurements is developed to jointly achieve
voltage regulation and input power factor control.

Root Cause of Diseases â€“ Ama Concept W.S.R to Free Radical Theory
Authors: Sapra Jaideep
Published: April 2021

Ayurveda speaks the main cause of diseases is rooted in the impairment of the body's main fire, called Agni, the fire of digestion. Ayurveda views the health of the body as the functioning of a biological fire-governing metabolism. If this essential part is functioning effectively,Â the whole body will be nourished, full of life and vibrancy. Altered digestive functioning can lead to the production of Ama, a toxic material that initiates and promotes disease processes throughout the body. In the same way, free radicals are also found to be the root cause of many diseases. The majority of free radicals that damage biological systems are oxygen-free radicals, and these are more generally known as â€œReactive oxygen Speciesâ€ (ROS). These are the main byproducts formed in the cells of aerobic organisms, and can initiate autocatalytic reactions so that molecules to which they react are themselves converted into free radicals to propagate the chain of damage. Here we shall discuss about properties of both Ama and Free Radicals. The present article attempts to correlate the concept of Free radical with the concept of Ama.Â

Published: April 2021

Metals and minerals including heavy metals like mercury, lead and arsenic are most frequently utilized in Ayurvedic system of medicine. Use of arsenicals is an integral component in Ayurvedic therapeutics. In Ayurveda, arsenicals comprise Haratala (Arsenic trisulphide), Manahshila (Arsenic disulphide) and Somala (Arsenic trioxide). They were widely practiced for various therapeutic and non-therapeutic purposes by the seers in different pathological manifestations with great conviction. Classics of Brihatrayi, one of the scheduled books of Ayurveda also hold ample references of arsenicals in diseases like Hicca (hiccup), Shwasa (respiratory distress), Shotha (oedema), Visha (Poison) and Kushta (skin diseases) etc. In the current review, an attempt has been made to compile all such references of arsenicals referred in Brihatrayi.
A Critical Review on Ayurvedic Diagnostic Methods
Authors: K Venkat Shivudu
Published: April 2021

Ayurveda is a holistic system of life which focuses the way of living along with treatment aspects. The antiquity of Ayurveda goes back to the Vedas and key points were taken from Darsanas too. The pramanas are the means to get the knowledge but Ayurveda implied the pramanas in a unique way as a examination tool (pareeksha) for diagnosis purpose in Atura and understanding of the individual in Swastha. Several types of pareeksha are available in Ayurvedic classics which include Dasavidha pareeksha, Astasthana pareeksha, Shadvidha pareeksha, Trividha pareeksha and the like. Of these, Dasavidha pareeksha is the most significant as it encompasses all other types of examinations. Many of the diagnostic methods mentioned in Ayurveda are not scientifically practised now a day. Some of the above mentioned examinations were given least importance in case taking and has now turned customary many aspects of examination are neglected. In the present study the prime intention was to formularize a standard separate proforma for diagnosis of diseases, based chiefly on the Dasavidha pareeksha to enable the students and practitioners to have a better procedure for diagnosis.

Arka and its pharmaceutical attributes in Indian alchemy (Rasashastra): A comprehensive review
Authors: Ranade Anagha Vishwas , Acharya Rabinarayan
Published: April 2021

Rasashastra, a branch of Ayurvedic system of medicine, deals with the pharmaceutical procedures of drugs of metallic, mineral and poisonous origin. These drugs are processed by some unique prescribed pharmaceutical techniques including Shodhana (purification process), Jarana (incineration) and Marana (calcination) that renders them fit for internal administration. Some specific groups of drugs of herbal origin viz. Marak gana (group of calcifying herbs), Dugdha varga (group of latex bearing plants), etc. are used for these procedures which primly include medicinal plants.Arka, (Calotropis procera Ait. and Calotropis gigantea L.R.Br.) one of such plant from the semi-poisonous group finds manifold usage in these purification procedures and incineration techniques for many Rasaushadhis. Still, single hand information on the collective information regarding the use of Arka in various processing techniques in Rasashastra is deficient. Hence, a thorough review from available 37 texts related to Rasashastra was made and the necessary supplementary references of nano particles was found out through available resources from internet. After a critical analysis, a total of 133 references were found wherein the usage of Arka has been highlighted in different pharmaceutical processes in texts of Rasashastra. Among them, thirty eight are related to procedures of shodhana and marana of Parada (mercury), nineteen deal with procedures concerned with Maharasa, six and three respectively in case of Uparasa and Sadharana (mineral origin) rasa along with fifty five processing techniques ofÂ  variedÂ  dhatus (metals).Â

Authors: Riju Agarwal , Atul Bharadwaj , S Dhiman Kartar , Manju Rani
Published: April 2021

Introduction: There are total seventy sixocular diseases described in Sushruta Samhita and 94 diseases in Astanga Sangrah & Astanga Hridya. This concept of classification of ocular disorders is well buttressed by classifying the disease as Sandhigata (Diseases affecting junctional areas of eye), Vartamagata (Diseases of eyelids), Shuklagata (Diseases of Sclera plus Conjunctiva), Krishnagata (Diseases of Cornea), Sarvagata (Diseases affecting all parts of Eye), Drishtigata (Diseases of Lens). Material and Methods: Extensive literary review of various text of Ayurveda in order to carve out a possible comparison of Ayurvedic Corneal Ophthalmological disorders with modern counterpart. Aims: To establish clinical correlation between diseases of Krishna mandala to disease of the cornea. Discussion: Classifications of corneal diseases in classical Ayurvedic texts are sequential and progressive in nature viz. one condition progress to the next corresponding stage. Acharya Sushruta described 4 types of diseases of cornea while Vagbhatta has enumerated 5 types. A conscious endeavor is made to correlate the Ayurvedic and modern corneal disorders in a complimentary manner. Conclusion: The congruent behavior of corneal disorders of Ayurved and modern is justified by the clinical symptomology, progression of the disease, prognostic reasons and relevant intervention. The integrated disease approach, treatment application and predicting prognosis will suffice the resultant outcome of the disease in a more favorable perspective which will herald a better approach in managing preventable corneal blindness.Â
ROLE OF AGNI VAISHAMYA IN CHRONIC PAIN PATHOLOGIES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO NECK AND BACK PAIN- A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY.
Authors: Edavalath Mukesh
Published: April 2021

Chronic back and neck pain are common clinical entities in ayurvedic practice. Most of the patients are not rendered pain free with the current ayurvedic treatment regimens. Ayurveda considers agni (digestive power) derangements as the basic cause for all nija rogas (endogenous diseases). The term agnivaishamya is implied for functional derangement of agni. Emerging evidences through modern researches point to the role of GI dysfunctions in pain pathologies.Â  A cross sectional analysis of patients with chronic pain in the neck and back was conducted at VPSV Ayurveda college hospital to explore associations between pain and features of agnivaishamya in koshta (GIT). In the twenty eight patients analyzed, significant association has been found between pain in low back and koshta (GIT) features like Arsas (hemorrhoids) and vibandha (Constipation). Strength of association was more between arsas and low back pain with OR Â of 4.2 (P<0.05). In the case of cervical pain , multiple features of Koshta like avipaka (feeling of indigestion), aruchi (anorexia), amlodgara (sour eructations), urodhumayana (chest burn) and muhurbadha muhurdrava pureesha (alternating constipation and loose stools) were found to be associated. Hence it can be concluded that there is significant association of agnivaishamya with chronic pain in neck and back.

Modern eraâ€™s, changing lifestyle along with changing food habits andÂ  depending upon oneâ€™s body constitution Amlapitta is one of the most common symptom (disease) seen in the society. Amlapitta is very distressing due to its chronic, relapsing and remittent nature. â€˜Hurryâ€™, â€˜Worryâ€™, and â€˜Curryâ€™ are the three main reasons for the disease. The industrialization, stress due to work, lack of exercise and faulty food habits leads to disturbance of Agni or metabolism which leads to many disorders, Amlapitta is one of them. Acidity refers to set of symptoms caused by an imbalance between the acid secreting mechanism of stomach and the protective mechanisms of gastric mucosa that ensure their safety. When due to some reason, there is excess production of acid by acid secreting glands of stomach, it results in condition known as Acidity. Acidity tends to have a much higher incidence in highly emotional and nervous individuals. Faulty lifestyle undoubtedly has a much higher role in this disease. Non-steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDâ€™s) also predispose to gastric acidity. Prolonged acidity is responsible for symptoms like Dyspepsia, Heartburn and if not taken care of, the erosion of the lining of stomach or intestines result with the formation of Ulcers. Current research proposal is small step to explore evidence based therapeutic potential of Ayurvedic herbal formulation. Present short term clinical trial was designed to evaluate efficacy of Gas-O-Fast (Ajwain), when used in a dose of 3 sachet /day in volunteers. Drug was given to the patients of dyspepsia for 30 days. It is evident that improvement in symptoms of Amalpitta (Non ulcer dyspepsia) was statistically highly significant without any side effects/ toxic effects of formulation.Â

Ayurveda treated Sthaulya as a Santarpanottha Vikara (diseases due to excessive nutrition) which has been identified as one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide in both developed and developing countries. Medodushti (disorders of fat metabolism) serves as one of the important etiological factor. In Ayurveda herbal drugs are being used to lower the levels of serum cholesterol for the treatment and prevention of this disorder. In this regard, an attempt has been made to review the drugs useful in Sthaulya specifically mentioned in Ganas (group of drugs) of Ayurvedic classical texts which are useful in prevention and management of conditions like Dyslipidemia and its complications.Â
LA RECIENTE REGULACIÓN DEL TELETRABAJO EN EL SECTOR PRIVADO: ¿UN MODELO A SEGUIR?
Authors: GALA DURAN CAROLINA
Published: April 2021

Uno de los efectos de la crisis sanitaria de la covid-19 ha sido el incremento del teletrabajo, tanto en el sector privado como en el sector público, lo que también ha puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de regular dicha figura con detalle. Con tal objetivo, en septiembre de 2020, se aprobaron los Reales Decretos-leyes 28/2020 y 29/2020, regulándose en el primero de ellos el trabajo a distancia en el sector privado, y en el segundo el teletrabajo en las Administraciones Públicas. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los aspectos esenciales del Real Decreto-ley 28/2020 (principios generales, acuerdo de teletrabajo, regulación del tiempo de trabajo, compensación de gastos, prevención de riesgos laborales¿), poner de relieve sus aciertos y limitaciones, e identificar algunos elementos que, salvando las distancias y teniendo en cuenta las particularidades de las Administraciones Públicas, pudieran servir de guía en dicho ámbito, junto con la regulación que varias Comunidades Autónomas han aprobado en los últimos años en materia de teletrabajo.

Covid-19k ekarri duen osasun-krisiaren ondorioetako bat telelanaren hazkundea izan da, bai sektore pribatuan, bai sektore publikoan. Eta horrek agerian utzi du figura hori xehetasunez arautu behar dela. Helburu horrekin, 2020ko irailean, 28/2020 eta 29/2020 errege lege-dekretuak onartu ziren; lehenengoan urrutiko lana arautu zen sektore pribatuan, eta bigarrenean telelana administrazio publikoetan. Lan honen helburua da 28/2020 Errege Lege Dekretuaren funtsezko alderdiak aztertzea (printzipio orokorrak, telelaneko akordioa, lan-denboraren erregulazioa, gastuen konpentsazioa, laneko arriskuen prebentzioa...), haren onurak eta mugak nabarmentzea, eta, distantziak alde batera utzita eta administrazio publikoen berezitasunak kontuan hartuta, esparru horretan gida gisa balio dezaketen elementu batzuk identifikatzea, hainbat autonomia-erkidegok telelanaren arloan azken urteotan onartu duten araudiarekin batera. 

One of the effects of the covid-19 health crisis has been the increase in teleworking, in both the private and public sectors, which has also highlighted the need to regulate this figure in detail. With this objective in mind, in September 2020, Royal Decree-Laws 28/2020 and 29/2020 were passed, the former regulating telecommuting in the private sector and the latter regulating teleworking in the Public Administrations. The aim of this paper is to analyze the essential aspects of Royal Decree-Law 28/2020 (general principles, telework agreement, regulation of working time, compensation of expenses, prevention of occupational hazards...), to highlight its successes and limitations, and to identify some elements which, while overcoming distances and taking into account the particularities of the Public Administrations, could serve as a guide in this field, together with the regulation approved by several Autonomous Communities on teleworking in recent years.

En este artículo se analizan las transformaciones del empleo público como consecuencia del avance de la tecnología, especialmente la necesidad de formación en competencias digitales de las y los empleados públicos, los perfiles profesionales que ello demandará en la Administración pública y la posibilidad de expansión del teletrabajo. Respecto de este último se explicitan las razones de su escaso desarrollo en España hasta la COVID19, las ventajas y los riesgos que supone esta modalidad de trabajo y cuáles son las exigencias e implicaciones de su normalización en las administraciones públicas: i) la necesidad de un motivo valioso que le sirva de fundamento, ii) la reordenación que exige de la propia Administración pública y iii) el cambio de cultura organizativa, así como el avance hacia un modelo de plataformización, la pérdida de identidad profesional y la posibilidad de segregación del personal empleado público en función de su sexo y su nivel de estudios.

Teknologiak aurrera egitearen ondorioz enplegu publikoak izan dituen eraldaketak aztertzen dira artikulu honetan, baina, batez ere, enplegatu publikoek gaitasun digitalen arloan duten prestakuntza-beharra, horrek Administrazio Publikoan eskatuko dituen lanbide-profilak eta telelana hedatzeko aukera. Azken horri dagokionez, berariaz zehazten dira Espainian COVID19a etorri arte izan duen garapen eskasaren arrazoiak, lan-modalitate horrek dakartzan abantailak eta arriskuak, eta administrazio publikoetan normalizatzeko eskakizunak eta inplikazioak: i) oinarri gisa balioko dion arrazoi baliotsu baten beharra, ii) administrazio publikoari berari eskatzen dion berrantolaketa, eta iii) antolamenduari lotutako kultura aldatzea, bai eta eredu berria ezartzea, plataforma duena, lanbide-nortasuna galtzen duena eta enplegatu publikoak funtzioaren eta galera-mailaren arabera bereiztea dakarrena.

This article analyzes the transformations in public employment as a result of the advance of technology, especially the need for training in digital skills for public employees, the professional profiles that this will require in the Public Administration and the possibility of expanding teleworking. Regarding telework, the reasons for its scarce development in Spain until COVID19 are explained, as are the advantages and risks involved in this type of work and the demands and implications of its standardization in the Public Administrations by: i) the need for it to have valid reason;, ii) the reorganization demanded of the Public Administration; and iii) the change in organizational culture, as well as the move towards a model of platformization, the loss of professional identity and the possibility of segregating public employees according to their gender and level of education.
