Authors: Priyanka Hebballi  , Gajanana Hegde  , Siddram Guled
Published: February 2023

Mutrashmari is one of the most common conditions of Mutravahasrotas. The word Ashmari in Sanskrit denotes the stone or calculi and Mutra means urine. Mutrashmari is characterized by formation of stones anywhere in urinary tract. It is a dreadful condition and has potential to disturb the anatomy and physiology of the urinary system. Once it formed in the body it tends recurrence thus get difficult to cure. Hence it is included under Ashtamahagada. In modern medical system it is correlated with urinary calculi or Urolithiasis based on their signs and symptoms. Factors such as diet, water, climate, geographical conditions will also play major role in causing Mutrashmari. Ayurveda basically aims at prevention of formation of Mutrahmari along with braking and flushing of existing calculi. In Ayurveda texts administration of oral medication in different forms such as Ghrita, Kshara, Kashaya and other Shamanousadhi, Shodhana Karma and Shastra Karma are emphasized for management of Mutrashmari. Snehapana is the basic principle in the management which is to be adopted in primary stage of Mutrashmari. In the present study Kulatthadi Ghrita having properties such as Ashmaribhedana, Ashmari Patana and Mutrala activities has been taken up as indicated in Chakradatta for Ashmari, along with Nagaradi Kashaya and Badarashma Pishti.

Authors: NEFAI MATHIAS S. , EMMANUEL MSHELIA H. , T. J. GAIZE
Published: February 2023

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the wound healing and antifungal properties of five earlier surveyed plants of Gwadabawa and Illela communities of Sokoto State-Nigeria cited for their acclaimed therapeutic purpose.
Methods: Air-dried plant parts species for each plant were extracted by maceration using methanol. These were concentrated in vacuo to obtain crude methanolic extract (CME). The CME was partly defatted and partitioned with n-butanol to solubilize bioactive compounds in the organic phase, leaving sugars, amino acids, and salty compounds in the aqueous phase. The resulting concentrated n-butanol extracts were then screened by subjecting each extract to in vitro antifungal assay for the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on Aspergillus niger in a 96-well ﬂat bottom polystyrene microtiter plate using the broth microdilution method as outlined in the 2021 Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute guideline; while the CME above for each plant, was subjected to wound healing assay using the wound excision model.
Results: Our findings showed all five plant extracts were active with variable antifungal properties of MIC values ranging from 250 to 3.9 (mg/ml). The lowest activity was recorded for Waltheria indica, (with a MIC of 125 mg/ml), while the highest activity was indicated for Faidherbia albida (with a MIC of 3.90625 mg/ml). The other three extracts exhibited moderate activity at test concentration with a MIC of 7.8125 mg/ml. Similarly, the CME showed a comparable wound healing effect for all the plant extracts concerning the control groups (5 mg/ml povidone Iodine, PI as positive control and distilled water, DW as negative control). Increased tissue contraction of lesions on the excised skin of rats was observed to significantly differ accordingly based on the applied treatment with the graded doses of the test sample concentrations used (1.25, 2, and 5) mg/ml. Epithelial closure in all the rats occurred after 14 d, and more so, on the 16th 16th-day wounding, the wounds were almost scarless, while those of blank control (DW) had obvious scars.
Conclusion: The wound healing and antifungal potentials of the crude extracts of the selected plants were confirmed. Thus, the five screened plant extracts may possibly be further investigated and developed into drugs for topical treatment of fungal-infected wounds, in line with their earlier folklore documentation.

Published: February 2023

Objective: This study was aimed to access one of the hidden ANF in Indian bean and assessment of its antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antiangiogenic, and anti-cancer properties.
Methods: Indian beans were processed and evaluated for the presence of ANF through HA activity. Bean-ANF was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation (ASP) and dialysis. Obtained Partially Purified bean-ANF (PPb-ANF) resolved on 12% SDS-PAGE, analyzed protease digestibility. The immunogenicity of PPb-ANF was characterized by producing polyclonal antibodies and checked for the presence of natural antibodies in healthy human sera. Pharmacological studies of PPb-ANF were assessed through anti-oxidant, immunogenic, anti-angiogenic and anti-cancer assays.
Results: Partially purified Bean-ANF (PPb-ANF) showed significant specific HA activity up to 150 Units/mg compared to crude extract 9.3 of Units/mg. The PPb-ANF was identified to have more than 90% homogeneity in purity with an observed M W of 30-32 kDa. PPb-ANF showed significant pepsin digestive stability up to 2 h at 37 ᵒC and appears digestive resistant. Rabbit produced anti-PPb-ANF IgG polyclonal antibody on immunization and exhibited immunogenic properties. Natural human IgG and IgE antibodies were found in the non-atopic human sera against PPb-ANF, indicative of its immunogenicity. Pharmacological studies of PPb-ANF confirmed its potent antioxidant activity. At 400 µg of PPb-ANF showed the highest around 90% DPPH activity and at 150 µg of PPb-ANF showed 89% inhibitory lipid peroxidation activity. The PPb-ANF showed 70% (3 μg) and 40% (1.5 μg) inhibitory in blood vessel density compared to control and exhibited significant anti-angiogenic activity. The PPb-ANF showed a significant (*p<0.05.) reduction in solid tumor weight upon dose-2 treatment (50 mg/kg body weight) and also increased lifespan up to 70 d compared with the control tumor model.
Conclusion: PPb-ANF was identified as digestive-resistant, hemagglutinin with a molecular weight of 30-32 kDa. The protein is immunogenic and has potential antioxidant, antiangiogenic and anti-cancer properties. Further purification and mechanistic-based pharmacological characterization might explore this protein as a potential anti-cancer molecule.

Respiratory tract infections are frequently linked to diabetes mellitus (DM), a different risk factor. This study has reported the clinical presentation and therapeutic outcomes of COVID-19 with diabetes.
Methods: From medical records and histories provided by 72 Covid-19-infected patients with diabetes admitted to the KMCH institute of health sciences and research, Coimbatore, data on demographics, clinical, laboratory, and radiological characteristics as well as treatment outcomes were collected using data collection forms. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay of 2019-CoV RNA was used to screen patients with Covid-19.
Results: 72 diabetes patients who tested positive for Covid-19 were admitted for this study. SPSS software version 26 was used to evaluate the data that had been collected. Clinical profiles and outcomes of patients with and without diabetes underwent descriptive analysis. Controlled diabetics had a mean plasma glucose of 112.22±11.41, while uncontrolled diabetics had a mean plasma glucose of 154.2±23.22. Fever was the most prevalent symptom in both managed and uncontrolled diabetes patients (94% and 100%), followed by sore throat (84% and 88%). In patients with uncontrolled diabetes compared to those with controlled diabetes, breathlessness is considerably higher (p<0.05). In the CORADS scoring, 11 of the 34 diabetics with uncontrolled blood sugar levels had CORADS 6 (32.35%), compared to just 2 of the 38 diabetics with regulated blood sugar levels (5.26%), which is considerably higher (p<0.01). In uncontrolled diabetics, the length of hospital stay is much longer (p<0.001). Compared to diabetics with controlled blood sugar, uncontrolled patients SPO2 dramatically dropped (p<0.001). Those with uncontrolled diabetes are more likely to be admitted to the ICU than patients with controlled diabetes (p<0.05). In uncontrolled diabetes compared to controlled patients, the severity was considerably higher (p<0.05). One person who had uncontrolled diabetes died, although no one who had controlled diabetes died.
Conclusion: Covid 19, persons with uncontrolled diabetes appear to be more likely to sustain lung damage, necessitating admission to the ICU, an extended stay in the hospital, and oxygen assistance throughout the duration of the illness.

Published: February 2023

Abstract: Interior Design is a vast and necessary field in today's day and age. People, these days, tend to look after the overall designing and planning of their own homes. They like to select colour themes, furniture items and decorative items of different varieties as per their liking. But most of the selection process is very tiring and time consuming as it involves visiting multiple different stores and showrooms. Also, with an increase in the variety in products and styles, it has become difficult for the consumer to make decisions. The existing models that try to deal with these problems are mainly AR based, exist only on IOS devices and their prime intent is e-commerce . The proposed model is a cross-platform mobile application that aims to become the one stop solution for all interior designing hurdles. The features will include replication of a room with accurate dimensions in the form of a 3D model. It will also give full creative freedom to the users to decorate the room as they see fit and bring forth an intelligent platform to purchase different items at their leisure.

Empowerment Model of Dairy Farmers in Providing Animal Feed Logistics During the Long Drought in Boyolali Regency
Authors: Luluk Fauziah  , Johan Bhimo Sukoco
Published: February 2023

Boyolali Regency is one of the largest cow milk producers in Indonesia. This region controls 20% of the national demand for cow’s milk and 72% of the demand for cow’s milk in Central Java. However, Boyolali Regency is very often hit by the drought, which affects the residents’ dairy farms. Farmers have difficulty in fulfilling animal feed logistics, including clean water and green feed sourced from grasses. Ironically, the farmers have to sell some of their dairy cows to cover the operational costs incurred for other cattle. This study aims to design an empowerment model for dairy farmers in providing animal feed logistics during drought due to a long drought in Boyolali Regency. This study is a qualitative descriptive study. This research is using interviews, observation, and document analysis as their data collection techniques. The data validity technique used in this research is the triangulation method, with an interactive analysis model as data analysis. Farmers complain about the provision of animal feed logistics during drought. Farmers are forced to sell their dairy cows to reduce operating costs. Some farmers buy clean water through a 6.000-liter water tank truck for IDR 300,000 per tank, the estimate is that it can be used for the fulfillment of clean water of approximately 10 heads of dairy cows, or about 10 days. Dairy farmer empowerment model needs to be designed by mapping the logistics needs of animal feed during drought. Clean water assistance from the government is not sufficient for farmers' needs, and the fulfillment of green feed has not been touched by government programs. Therefore, the design of this empowerment model requires deep involvement from the government in empowering farmers to have empowerment in dealing with drought.

Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristic of cross-laminated timber (CLT) made from puspa (Schima wallichii) wood, coconut (Cocos nucifera) trunk, and their combination using a polyurethane (PU) adhesive. The manufacturing of CLT begins with the characterization of the adhesive and wood materials used in this study. The CLT panels are made with dimensions of 100 cm × 30 cm × 3.6 cm. The laminate was organized into three layers with the face/core/back, namely puspa wood (PPP), coconut trunk (CCC), and their combination (PCP and CPC), perpendicular to each other using polyurethane adhesive with a glue spread of 160 g.m-2. The physical and mechanical properties of the CLT were assessed according to the JAS 3079 (2019) standard. The results showed that the polyurethane adhesive used in this study could cure optimally at a temperature of 30°C for 200 minutes. Puspa wood and coconut trunk had different physical and chemical properties but had similar wettability to polyurethane adhesives. The physical and mechanical characteristics of coconut CLT were better than puspa CLT. Based on the overall test results, the puspa hybrid CLT is better than the single wood species of the CLT. In contrast to coconut hybrid CLT, the single CLT of CCC was better than its hybrid CLT.

Abstract
The Present research paper attempts to analyse the perspective, statements and understatements made by women in Shaw’s plays Pygmalion and Arms and the Man from the viewpoint of Marxism.

Often while analysing a text from a particular viewpoint, the focus is on a major character that appears to be the author’s mouthpiece in that particular regard. In such an attempt, other characters are ignored even when the viewpoint at hand underlines whatever they say.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Popularly known as a playwright of ideas, George Bernard Shaw’s art of characterisation is an area that is often overlooked. His characters are hung on the walls of memorable ones in the gallery of English Literature. The development of these characters within the course of the play is something that has been explored often. However, these characters have a history and much lies beyond the curtains of the stage. The present paper attempts to explore what lies before and beyond the development of a character in the play. It sees the root of Prof. Higgins mother fixation in the oral stage, Frank Gardner’s Oedipus complex in the anal stage and the like.
Cultural Hegemony and Resistance as Depicted in Zora Neale Hurston’s Colour Struck
Authors: Nishtha Mishra
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Cultural Hegemony though a term from Marxist philosophy certainly goes beyond the much explored field of Marxism into the submerged realm of human psychology. Centuries, decades and years of multicultural influences often lead to cultural assimilation. However, as per Carl Jung’s theory Collective unconscious is always present to guide an individual’s way for cultural resistance. The present paper explores the same in the play Colour Struck written by American Novelist Zora Neale Hurston who is best known for her novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God.
Paranormal Interest and Contemporariness of Magical Realism in Macbeth.
Authors: Mishra Dr. Nishtha
Published: February 2023

Supernatural presence is something that has been widely acknowledged in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. There issupposedly an abundance of paranormal activity and eeriness in this play. In fact, it is not an over statement to say that paranormal events drive the action in this play. However, with increasing discoveries and broader horizons made available by scientific advancement in 21st century, the supernatural still stands relevant? If so, what has rendered it its contemporariness?

A study conducted by Shane Rogers and his team from Clarkson University in the United States observed similarities between paranormal experiences and the hallucinogenic effects of fungal spores (Dagnall Neil, The conversation). This might explain why both Macbeth and Banquo sighted the witches, having been exposed to the same weather conditions which were conducive to the growth of fungi, i.e, “thunder, lightning and rain”. And all the remaining sightings were the fragments of Macbeth’s disturbed mind. However, if the dramatist had intended to eliminate the paranormal interest, he had not designed three scenes, solely devoted to the agents of supernatural or evil, which were the witches.

Published: February 2023

Internet saat ini telah mengalami perkembangan yang signifikan sebagai sarana untuk mencari informasi yang memberikan dampak positif bagi kehidupan sehari-hari masyarakat. Namun, di samping itu, internet juga menjadi tempat yang efektif untuk menyebarkan informasi yang memberikan dampak negatif, seperti penyebaran konten negatif kepada masyarakat. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, pemerintah telah menetapkan sistem laporan dan DNS (Domain Name System) yang dikenal sebagai Trust Positif. Namun, upaya tersebut masih tergolong tidak efektif karena hanya didasarkan pada DNS dan laporan masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menggunakan metode Machine Learning untuk membuat model klasifikasi konten negatif website berdasarkan isi teks website. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Random Forest. Proses penelitian dimulai dengan melakukan preprocessing pada data teks dengan pendekatan NLP (Natural Language Processing) dan kemudian mengaplikasikan metode Machine Learning. Hasil dari pengujian menunjukkan bahwa Random Forest cukup efektif dalam penelitian ini, dengan nilai accuracy sebesar 92%, precision sebesar 77%, dan recall sebesar 86%. Nilai tersebut didapatkan melalui pengujian dengan menggunakan 526 url website.

Silifke‐Mut ilçelerini birbirine bağlayan D‐715 Karayolu’nun Km 31+300‐31+500 arasında arasında Kargıcak Mahallesinde aşırı yağışların arkasından 8 Ocak 2020 tarihinde oluşan kütle hareketi değerlendirilmiştir. Bu değerlendirmede, insansız hava aracı (İHA) ile çekilen fotoğraflardan, fotogrametrik yöntemle 2 cm çözünürlüklü sayısal yüzey modeli oluşturularak 8 Ocak 2020 tarihinde oluşan Kargıcak Heyelanının 1/1000 ölçekli haritası yapılmıştır. 8 Ocak 2020 tarihinde oluşan Kargıcak Heyelanının kayma mekanizması, derinliği ve bölgede yüzeyleyen litostratigrafi birimleri ile olan ilişkisi, heyelan alanında açılmış olan 9 adet tam karotlu sondajlardan yararlanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sondaj çalışmaları ile heyelanın gerçekleştiği zeminden örselenmiş ve örselenmemiş örnekler alınarak birimlerin indeks ve jeomekanik parametreleri belirlenmiştir. Sondaj kuyularına yerleştirilen inklinometre okumalarından elde edilen veriler kullanılarak kayma derinliği ve hızı belirlenmiştir. 8 Ocak 2020 tarihinde oluşan Kargıcak Heyelanının, dairesel başlayıp, ayrışmış kiltaşı-kil birimi ile kiltaşı-marn yüzeyinde düzlemsel olarak geliştiği belirlenmiştir. Bölgede 8 Ocak 2020 öncesi oluşan sağanak yağışlar heyelan alanında yüzeyleyen ayrışmış kiltaşı-kil biriminde boşluk suyu basıncını artırarak birimin kayma dayanımının azalmasına neden olmuştur.

Authors: Wulandari Aulia , Febrianti Febrianti
Published: February 2023

The Covid-19 Self-Isolation Telemedicine Service is established to reduce hospital occupancy rates amid peak Covid-19 cases. To develop better services, user satisfaction should be measured through service quality dimensions. This study aimed to determine the service quality dimensions of Indonesia's Covid-19 self-isolation telemedicine service. A cross-sectional design was utilized for this study. Out of 124,010 service users, data from a sample of 400 respondents were collected through online questionnaires. Service quality dimensions studied were responsiveness, reliability, information quality, empathy, ease of use, and perceived usefulness. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. 91.7% of respondents were satisfied with the Covid-19 self-isolation telemedicine service. Responsiveness, reliability, information quality, empathy, ease of use, and perceived usefulness were correlated with user satisfaction, with the successive level of correlation (r): 0.474, 0.569, 0.485, 0.478, 0.569, and 0.478. All dimensions studied were correlated with user satisfaction at moderate and positive levels. However, few users were dissatisfied with the Covid-19 Self-Isolation Telemedicine Service. Several efforts are required to improve the service. This study provides new insights into telemedicine satisfaction in Indonesia because it analyzes the Covid-19 self-isolation telemedicine service provided by the Indonesian Ministry of Health for the first time.

Implementasi Pemenuhan Hak Tersangka Pada Tingkat Pemeriksaan di Polsek Panakkukang
Authors: Malaba Muhaimin , Marilang
Published: February 2023

Hak–hak tersangka adalah bagian dari Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM). Dalam sistem peradilan pidana, penyidik yang memeriksa tersangka (yang patut diduga melakukan tindakan pidana) harus memosisikan tersangka sebagai subjek pemeriksaan tindak pidana (bukan objek) berdasarkan asas praduga tidak bersalah dan dengan segala hak-hak yang seluruhnya wajib dihormati, dilindungi dan dipenuhi oleh penyidik demi terciptanya kepastian hukum (equality before the law). Hal itulah yang harus dipahami dan dipedomani dalam setiap penegakkan hukum bagi semua pihak yang terlibat dalam proses pemeriksaan tindak pidana agar proses pemeriksaan dengan cara-cara inkuisitur atau inquisitorial system tidak terulang kembali.
