Authors:   Zaporizhzhia State Medical University, Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, Dronova Anastasiia
Published: April 2022

Objective. The aim of this work was to estimate the effectiveness of combination neurometabolic therapy that includes 5 mg of ipidacrine hydrochloride and 300 mg of phenibut in complex therapy of patients with hemisphere hemorrhagic stroke in the early rehabilitation period. Material and methods. Open comparative randomized study and treatment of 46 patients (31 men and 15 women) with hemisphere hemorrhagic stroke in the early rehabilitation period was performed. The mean age of patients was 57.17 ±7.09 years. All patients were divided into two groups - the main group included 20 patients with hemorrhagic stroke, who took neurometabolic combination therapy (5 mg of ipidacrine hydrochloride and 300 mg of phenibut three times per day) in addition to complex recovery treatment during 30 days (start from 30th day after stroke) and control group, that included 26 patients with hemorrhagic stroke, who received standard complex recovery treatment without additional neurometabolic therapy. Outcomes. The median MoCA score of the main group of patients was 21.0 (19; 24), while the second group had 20.5 (18; 23.75) MoCA score, but without any intergroup difference. It was also identified reliable improvement of cognitive values on the MoCA scale after treatment (р ˂ 0.05). Besides, statistical difference was reached between groups in these measures. Also, we showed that statistical improvement in memory was observed in both groups at 1st and 2nd attempts using Luriya’s method “memorizing 10 words”. But subsequent such an effect took place only in the main group. The present study showed the absence of improvement “memorizing of 10 words” at 3rd, 4th and 5th attempts in control group. At the same time, patients of the main group had improved results at 4th and 5th ones (р ˂ 0.05). Conclusion. The combined drug of neurometabolic nature, consisting of 5 mg ipidacrinum and phenibut 300 mg, improved rehabilitation effectiveness rates for account of cognitive functions in patients with hemorrhagic hemispheric stroke during recovery period during comprehensive rehabilitation.

Renal malformations represent a large part of the pathology referred to the pediatric surgeon. Most of them are diagnosed during pregnancy. We present one case of complete ureteral duplex with upper pole obstructive megaureter managed in a private hospital using minimally invasive methods for both diagnosis and treatment due to good teamwork. We do not want to demonstrate that other investigations are not leading to the same diagnose, we want to highlight an alternative to the classic approach. We hope that our experience is a starting point for further research and that in future radiation and general anesthesia in children will be avoided as much as possible for renal investigations.

Published: April 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic antibiotic use considerably increased being partially justified by the fear of bacterial infection. Antibacterial resistance (ABR), due to increased and unjustified antibiotic use, is a major threat to the economy and global health. In pediatric practice, antibiotics are the most common prescribed substances, both in the community and hospital setting. Unjustified use, inappropriate doses and prescription duration promote antibacterial resistance and increase mortality. The majority of current health problems in children are viral infections, even the rates of infection are higher as in adults, fact that determines more frequent diagnostic uncertainties. More so, respiratory infections in children have a greater potential of excessive and incorrect use of antibiotics, that justifies protocol based evaluations, risk assessment and targeted treatment. The diversity and magnitude of clinical presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection, along with early and long-term complications and sequelae, also noticed in pediatric practice, created the premises of increased use of antibiotics, aggravating the ABR. This is a challenge for the clinician during a period when development of new antibiotics is not a priority of the pharma industry anymore. Research of mechanisms that contribute to ABR, innovative therapies, expansion of genetics and implementation of antibiotic stewardship, together with stimulating pharma industry for developing of new substances, may have the potential of decreasing antibacterial resistance in an era of medical and economic uncertainties generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

We present results of an optical spectroscopic survey using SALT and the Nordic Optical Telescope to build a Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mid-infrared color-based, dust-unbiased sample of powerful radio-bright (>200 mJy at 1.4 GHz) active galactic nuclei (AGN) for the MeerKAT Absorption Line Survey (MALS). Our sample has 250 AGN (median z = 1.8) showing emission lines, 26 with no emission lines, and 27 without optical counterparts. Overall, our sample is fainter (Δi = 0.6 mag) and redder (Δ(g−i) = 0.2 mag) than radio-selected quasars, and representative of fainter quasar population detected in optical surveys. About 20% of the sources are narrow-line AGN (NLAGN)–65% of these, at z < 0.5 are galaxies without strong nuclear emission, and 10% at z > 1.9, have emission line ratios similar to radio galaxies. The farthest NLAGN in our sample is M1513-2524 (z
em = 3.132), and the largest radio source (size ∼330 kpc) is M0909-3133 (z
em = 0.884). We discuss in detail 110 AGN at 1.9 < z < 3.5. Despite representing the radio loudest quasars (median R = 3685), their Eddington ratios are similar to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasars having lower R. We detect four C iv broad-absorption line (BAL) QSOs, all among AGN with least R, and highest black hole masses and Eddington ratios. The BAL detection rate (

%) is consistent with that seen in extremely powerful (L
1.4GHz > 1025 W Hz−1) quasars. Using optical light curves, radio polarization, and γ-ray detections, we identify seven high-probability BL Lacertae objects. We also summarize the full MALS footprint to search for H i 21 cm and OH 18 cm lines at z < 2.

Published: April 2022

The establishment of marine non-indigenous species (NIS) in new locations can degrade environmental, socio-cultural, and economic values. Vessels arriving from international waters are the main pathway for the entry of marine NIS, via exposure due to ballast water discharge (hereafter, ballast discharge) and biofouling. We developed a systematic statistical likelihood-based methodology to investigate port-level marine NIS propagule pressure from ballast discharge and biofouling exposure using a combination of techniques, namely k-Nearest-Neighbour and random forest algorithms. Vessel characteristics and travel patterns were assessed as candidate predictors. For the ballast discharge analysis, the predictors used for model building were vessel type, dead weight tonnage, and the port of first arrival; the predictors used for the biofouling analysis were days since last antifouling paint, mean vessel speed, dead weight tonnage, and hull niche area. Propagule pressure for both pathways was calculated at a voyage, port and annual level, which were used to establish the relative entry score for each port. The model was applied to a case study for New Zealand. Biosecurity New Zealand has commissioned targeted marine surveillance at selected ports since 2002 to enable early detection of newly arrived marine NIS (Marine High-Risk Site Surveillance, MHRSS). The reported methodology was used to compare contemporary entry likelihoods between New Zealand ports. The results suggested that Tauranga now receives the highest volume of discharged ballast water and has the second most biofouling exposure compared to all other New Zealand ports. Auckland was predicted to receive the highest biofouling mass and was ranked tenth for ballast discharge exposure. Lyttelton, Napier, and New Plymouth also had a high relative ranking for these two pathways. The outputs from this study will inform the refinement of the MHRSS programme, facilitating continued early detection and cost-effective management to support New Zealand’s wider marine biosecurity system. More generally, this paper develops an approach for using statistical models to estimate relative likelihoods of entry of marine NIS.

PURPOSE:

To present a case of epithelial ingrowth under a laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap as a direct result of a pressure shockwave without direct blunt trauma to the eye.

METHODS:

Case report

RESULTS:

A 27-year-old woman developed epithelial in-growth under the LASIK flap interface after a massive shock-wave trauma to the eye caused by the 2020 Port of Beirut explosion. No flap dislocation, folds, or tears had been noted on examination after the trauma. Observation with close follow-up was elected. The vision and area of ingrowth remained stable over 1 year of follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS:

Pressure shockwave from an immense blast can mimic direct blunt trauma in eyes after LASIK and can result in epithelial ingrowth. Treatment should be tailored to vision, flap condition, and progression.

Stability properties for a problem of light scattering in a dispersive metallic domain
Authors: Nicaise Serge , Scheid Claire
Published: April 2022

In this work, we study the well-posedness and some stability properties of a PDE system that models the propagation of light in a metallic domain with a hole. This model takes into account the dispersive properties of the metal. It consists of a linear coupling between Maxwell's equations and a wave type system. We prove that the problem is well posed for several types of boundary conditions. Furthermore, we show that it is polynomially stable and that the exponential stability is conditional on the exponential stability of the Maxwell system.
Rotation invariant patterns for a nonlinear Laplace-Beltrami equation: A Taylor-Chebyshev series approach
Authors: Berg Jan Bouwe van den , Duchesne Gabriel William , Lessard Jean-Philippe
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we introduce a rigorous computational approach to prove existence of rotation invariant patterns for a nonlinear Laplace-Beltrami equation posed on the 2-sphere. After changing to spherical coordinates, the problem becomes a singular second order boundary value problem (BVP) on the interval \begin{document}$ (0,\frac{\pi}{2}] $\end{document} with a removable singularity at zero. The singularity is removed by solving the equation with Taylor series on \begin{document}$ (0,\delta] $\end{document} (with \begin{document}$ \delta $\end{document} small) while a Chebyshev series expansion is used to solve the problem on \begin{document}$ [\delta,\frac{\pi}{2}] $\end{document}. The two setups are incorporated in a larger zero-finding problem of the form \begin{document}$ F(a) = 0 $\end{document} with \begin{document}$ a $\end{document} containing the coefficients of the Taylor and Chebyshev series. The problem \begin{document}$ F = 0 $\end{document} is solved rigorously using a Newton-Kantorovich argument.

Published: April 2022

This study aimed to propose alternative support systems for a diversion tunnel at the Narogong Weir, West Java, based on the Rock Mass Rating (RMR), Tunnelling Quality Index (Q), and Japanese Rock Mass Classification systems. Surface geological mapping, drill core evaluation, and laboratory testing were conducted to characterize the engineering geological conditions of the tunnel construction site. The results showed that the study area consisted of alternating layers of siltstone and marlstone of the Jatiluhur Formation. Joints and an anticline are the main geological structures observed in the study area. The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) values of the intact rocks ranged from 4 to 25 MPa. The rock masses were classified into poor to fair classes. The diversion tunnel was divided into two segments of tunnel support systems. Although the support system characteristics are slightly varied, in general, the rock mass classifications recommended rock bolts and shotcrete as the primary tunnel support systems.

Authors: Hanayni Fadhila , Sulaiman Muhammad
Published: April 2022

Flooding that often happens during the rainy season in Klitren urban village is caused by reducing open space as water catchment areas [1]. It happens due to several factors, including a large amount of land that has been converted into residential areas and unsustainable existing drainage systems. To evaluate the amount of runoff produced by the area, the writer conducted a simulation using EPA SWMM 5.1 software. The simulation is conducted to compare how much runoff is generated by the area and how much water is collected according to the drainage system's capacity. Modeling alternatives used including the existing condition and other alternatives such as implementing green infrastructure installations. From the results of the analysis conducted in the study location, the runoff decreased from 3,09 m3/s to 2,92 m3/s, and the runoff decreased by 5,5%. Then, it can be used as a reference for implementing green infrastructure in urban areas.

Since the beginning of 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has emerged in Indonesia and affected how people live, including the learning process. Schools and education institutions have been forced to move online. In addition, the places to support learning activities were closed as a precautionary measure against the spread of the virus, such as museums and historical sites. The education sector needs to rapidly develop and deploy a robust digital framework in dealing with the pandemic's effect. The 4.0 technological sophisticated development starts to pervade the learning process, such as augmented reality (AR). AR, which supports inclusive learning with interactive and attractive performance, can play an essential role in delivering profound understanding for students. This article presents the 3D historical enriched model of the Pawon temple derived from close range photogrammetry's point clouds that blends real and virtual environments. The 3D model of Pawon temple, which reached Level of Detail 3 (LoD3), can be accessed and perceived by users with augmented reality technology via Android-based devices.
Future Disaster Risk Reduction Strategy Based on Land Use Prediction in a Surrounding Area of a Newly Developed Airport Infrastructure
Authors: Ramadhani Amesta , Devi Laksmi , Sihombing Dwita , Raphonita Chrisshine
Published: April 2022

Many works of literature stated that the development of new infrastructure, including airports, could affect land-use change as well as built-up areas expansion. The conversion of undeveloped land into business, recreational, and residential sites are driven by the need for complementary facilities for airports. In the end, the development of the airport and these changes are hopefully leading to the economic development of surrounding areas. However, several areas are exposed to some hazards, including tsunamis, earthquakes, drought, and floods, which could potentially hinder economic development. When the built-up areas expand uncontrollably, those risks will also increase in the future. Therefore, this paper will seek to predict the changes in built-up areas driven by the development of a newly built airport area. The case study is conducted in the new construction of the airport, namely Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) in Kalurahan Glagah, Kulon Progo Regency, as it officially began in 2017. After understanding future land use, this paper will try to develop strategies to minimize disaster risks. The prediction will use cellular automata modeling using the MOLUSCE plugin of QGIS. Other driving factors will also be considered in this paper, such as distance to road, distance to existing residential areas, etc. Finally, the prediction map will be overlaid with hazard maps of the Kulon Progo Regency in order to understand the exposed area. This paper hopefully could be an input to the future policies in Kulon Progo.

Authors: Kumalasari Yeni Indra , Kharisma Agung Dian , Yuwantiningsih Sri
Published: April 2022

Endophytic bacteria have a great potential to be applied as biofertilizers and biopesticides, but their information as a source of antibiotics still needs to be developed and explored. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential sources of antibiotics in endophytic bacteria isolated from the stems of Setigi, Wahong, Bongko, Kalimosodo, Dewandaru, and Legundi plants on Karimunjawa Island. Molecular approaches were performed to isolate, characterize, and identify bacterial endophytes as potential antibiotic sources by plate assay and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Dewandaru isolate was identified as gram-negative bacteria, whereas; gram-positive bacteria were detected in other isolates. Moreover, Setigi and Dewandaru isolates showed the highest level to inhibit the growth of Fusarium sp and displayed 99% similarity with antibiotic-producing bacteria, namely Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus cereus, respectively. These results indicate the possibility of antibiotic activities by Setigi and Dewandaru isolated. Therefore, it is assumed that both Setigi and Dewandaru isolates potentially appeared as new antibiotics sources from local plants. This study provides novel insight into the future production of novel antibiotics derived from plant-associated endophytic bacterial as a strategy for increasing the application of natural compounds to control plant diseases in agriculture.
The Efficacy of Several Types of Organic Pesticides against Mortality of Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)
Authors: Mumpuni Restu Puji , Sholichudin Akhmad
Published: April 2022

Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest on several food crops including soybeans and corn. Armyworm control still emphasizes the use of resistant varieties and insecticides. Alternative efforts are needed to use more environmentally-friendly control methods, including the use of organic pesticides from biological materials. The control of Spodoptera frugiperda was carried out by testing the application of several types of organic pesticides at the same concentration of 50%. The purpose of this study was to determine the type of pesticide that was most effective in reducing mortality and attack from Spodoptera frugiperda. The study was started by doing mass propagation of S. frugiperda larvae, S. frugiperda larvae investment, and mortality test. The test used the Randomized Block Design (RBD) method using several organic pesticides consisting of five treatments, namely P0 (control), P1 (tobacco), P2 (shallot), P3 (garlic), and P4 (papaya leaves), P5 (blimbing wuluh leaves), P6 (Jatropa curcas fruit), P7 (lemongrass). The results of the application of organic pesticides on the mortality and attack rate of S. frugiperda had a significant effect. Organic pesticides that are most effective in reducing the mortality and attack rates of S. frugiperda are pesticides made from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). At a concentration of 50% organic pesticides made from tobacco can reduce the mortality of S. frugiperda up to 100%. Tobacco-based pesticides also received the lowest land attack rate at 46%. Organic pesticides applied to S. frugiperda larvae also affect the growth of S. frugiperda pupae.

Authors: Nuryati  , Santoso Dian Budi , Rokhman Nur
Published: April 2022

Recorded morbidity data in primary health care is different from data found in other health services. Therefore, in managing this data, ideally, a specific classification standard for primary health care services should be used, namely the International Classification for Primary Care (ICPC), where so far primary health care services in Indonesia are still using International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems Tenth Revision (ICD-10) as a classification standard. This paper aims to integrate ICPC into an electronic medical record prototype in a family physician clinic. Focus group discussions, interviews, documentation studies, and observations were carried out with family physician clinic stakeholders regarding the need for ICPC implementation. The initial stage of implementation was carried out by data mapping between ICD-10 and ICPC. Furthermore, the data is displayed in a web-based electronic medical record where the officer only needs to do a codification with one of the classification standards and it will automatically display both the ICD-10 code and the corresponding ICPC code. Family physician clinic stakeholders welcomed the integration of ICPC in an electronic medical record prototype that made it easier for them to make disease index.

Purpose:

The purpose of the study wast to evaluate the influence of head-and-neck clinical fellowship training on multidisciplinary assessment, radiation workflow, and clinical outcomes of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective review of patients with NPC treated between 2010 and 2017. The study cohort was allocated into prefellowship cohort (pre-FSC) (January 2010–September 2014) and postfellowship cohort (post-FSC) (October 2014–December 2017). Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, multidisciplinary assessment, radiation workflow, and treatment were reviewed. Univariable, multivariable, and relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were performed.

Results:

One hundred and forty-three patients were included, 68 in the pre-FSC and 75 in the post-FSC. For the post-FSC versus pre-FSC, there were increased multidisciplinary referrals to dental (100% vs. 79.4%, P = 0.001), nutritional (94.7% vs. 70.6%, P = 0.0001), peg-tube insertion (84% vs. 64.7%, P = 0.0001), speech and swallow (94.7% vs. 13.2%, P = 0.0001), psychosocial (100% vs. 26.5%, P = 0.0001), and smoking cessation clinic (33.3% vs. 5.9%, P = 0.0001). For the post-FSC versus pre-FSC, there were statistically significant differences in the elements of radiation workflow; mean time required for contouring was 3.2 vs. 8.8 days (P = 0.0001), radiotherapy plan implementation: 1.9 vs. 4.8 days (P = 0.0001), and plan approval: 0.4 vs. 0.9 day (P = 0.00012). On multivariable analysis, smoking was associated with poor RFS (P = 0.04). There were no statistically significant differences in OS (94.7% vs. 87.2% at 3 years; P = 0.126) and RFS (88.4% vs. 84.4% at 3 years; P = 0.281) between post and pre-FSCs, respectively.

Conclusions:

Clinical fellowship training results in increase multidisciplinary referrals to supportive services, improves radiotherapy workflow, but had no significant impact on survival outcomes.

Пусть $\mathbf {X}=(X_0,X_1,\ldots )$ - неразложимая цепь Маркова с множеством состояний $\{1,\ldots ,N\}$ и $H$ - некоторая группа перестановок на множестве $\{1,\ldots ,N\}$. Доказываются предельные теоремы для числа серий $H$-эквивалентных $s$-цепочек, начинающихся до момента $n$ включительно. Эти результаты продолжают серию исследований авторов в рамках научного направления, начало которому было положено в 1970-е годы в работах А.М. Зубкова и ряда других авторов.

Authors: Bai Tianyi , Hu Yueyun
Published: April 2022

Рассматривается ветвящееся случайное блуждание $(V_u)_{u\in \mathcal T^{\mathrm{IGW}}}$ в пространстве $\mathbb Z^d$ с генеалогическим деревом $\mathcal T^{\mathrm{IGW}}$, образованным последовательностью независимых одинаково распределенных критических деревьев Гальтона-Ватсона. Пусть $R_n$ - множество точек в пространстве $\mathbb Z^d$, которые посещает ветвящееся случайное блуждание $(V_u)$, когда индекс $u$ пробегает первые $n$ поддеревьев дерева $\mathcal T^{\mathrm{IGW}}$. Основной результат работы состоит в том, что для $d\in \{3,4,5\}$ при $n\to \infty $ емкость множества $R_n$ имеет почти наверное порядок $n^{(d-2)/{2}+o(1)}$.

The Use of Conjunctions Among L1 Luganda Speakers of English
Authors: Deborah Mirembe Dorica , Isingoma Bebwa
Published: April 2022

The study looks at the use of conjunctions among L1 Luganda speakers of English as a second language (L2) in Uganda. Using a corpus compiled from oral and written discourse, the study found that the conjunction mostly used among L1 Luganda speakers of English was “and”, followed by “but”, both of which were marginally used as sentence openers, with the written data showing no single incidence of using “and” in this respect. It was also established that a number of English conjunctions were either totally absent or only used sporadically in both types of discourse. For example, correlatives such as “scarcely…when, no sooner…than” were completely absent from our corpus. Substrate influence from Luganda has been seen to have a role, not least in the co-extensive use of “although/though” with “but” in subordination, although analogy appears to work synergistically with substrate influence here (see Andersen, 1983). Innovations involving the rejection of constructions with the conjunction “if” were observed with regard to what appear to be mixed tenses (e.g. If you did not study chemistry at lower levels, you will not understand this concept), although in L1 English such constructions are legitimate since they do not encode the semantic relation of condition (Swan, 2005). Given that L1 Luganda speakers of English are Ugandans, this aspect of the findings in the study lends itself to observations made in earlier studies (e.g. Ssempuuma, Isingoma & Meierkord, 2016; Isingoma, 2021) on the structural nativization of English in Uganda as well as trends towards endonormativity in the sense of Schneider (2007).

Published: April 2022

This paper looks at the tripartite problematic perspective in current English for Specific Purposes educational practices in order to direct educational practices toward the progressive approaches and improvement in the area of language competences. One aspect of the thematic framework concerns the problem of the varieties of English in the light of the question of the norm. The other is related to the problem of corporatization of education. The third perspective focuses on digital technologies in a globalized world, as well as their role in and impact on education. The empirical part of the research was conducted in the form of a survey in which students answered questions about these thematic clusters. The research indicated the justifiability of the conceptual framework of the paper. It also revealed the angles from which the initial concerns could be questioned. The insights may open up an avenue for future tendencies in the syllabus design and classroom activities within English for Specific Purposes. Based on them, the authors recommend a balanced approach to nonstandard variants of English in ESP; an awareness and application of the benefits of both technology and in-person, face-to-face communication; a motivation for learning English that transcends sheer concern for profit.

Amaç: Çalışanların yenilikçi özellikleri işletmeleri başarıya götürmedeki kilit faktördür. Özellikle yenilikçi davranışların örgütsel olarak desteklenmesi, çalışanların yenilikçi yeteneklerini işletme için kullanmasının önünü açacaktır. Örgütsel ortamda desteklendiğini hisseden çalışanın yenilikçi iş davranışlarını sergileyeceği ve işten ayrılma eğilimi sergilemeyeceği varsayımı ile bu çalışmada imalat sektöründe çalışanların algıladıkları örgütsel destek ve bu desteğin yenilikçi iş davranışları ve işten ayrılma niyeti ile olan ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Yöntem: Nicel veriye dayalı olarak yürütülen çalışmada birincil veriler kasti örnekleme ile seçilen ve büyük işletme statüsünde Düzce’ de faaliyet gösteren işletmelerden toplanmıştır. Beşli likert tipi ölçeklerle toplanan veriler SPSS24 programında analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, araştırmaya katılanların işten ayrılma niyetleri düşük, örgüt desteği algıları ve yenilikçi iş davranışı eğilimleri ise yüksektir. Çalışanların algıladığı örgütsel destek ise yenilikçi iş davranışlarını pozitif; işten ayrılma niyetini ise negatif olarak etkilemektedir. Özgünlük: Yenilikçi uygulamalar işletme başarılarının en önemli belirleyici unsuru olmaya başlamıştır. Bu yenilikçi yapılar ise çalışanlardan bağımsız ortaya çıkmamaktadır. Örgütün hiyerarşik yapısı, yönetim tarzları, iş ortamındaki işbirlikleri, bireysel özellikler ve daha pek çok faktör çalışanların yenilikçi davranışlarının oluşumunu etkileyebilmektedir. Sayılan bu bireysel ve örgütsel faktörler aynı zamanda çalışanların örgüte olan bağlılığını veya işten ayrılmaya olan eğilimlerini de etkileyebilmektedir. Bu çalışma tüm bu konuları birbiri ile ilişkili ele alması açısından ve Türkiye sanayisinin önemli bir parçası olan imalat sektörü çalışanları özelinde konuyu incelemesi açısından özgün değer taşımaktadır.

Published: April 2022

The ideas and principles that folklore put forth are almost analogous with Ayurvedic principles. Folklore medicine is probably the most important and well-acclaimed component of the cultural heritage of the nation. It can reflect the essentials of a nation’s cultural attributes as in a mirror and is recognized as a basis of its cultural and social identity. Diseases and calamities play significant role in the lives of human being and it has been the endeavour of mankind to protect themselves from diseases, aliments, plagues, infections and other distresses. The tribes and villagers of India have very pronounced systems of prevention and cure. Many of these tribes have in their treasures some secret medical cures and practices acquired over a period of experimentation based on trial and error and form the part of the collective wisdom of the community. Such a place named Dasanoor near Chamrajanagar, Mysore District, Karnataka holds the history of using Kharadugdha in Balaroga. An attempt has been made here to know the effect of Kharadugdha in Balaroga in the form of a survey study. A survey has been carried out with 30 children visiting Dasanoor from different parts of Mysore, Chamrajanagar and surrounding places. A questionnaire format with 10 questions was framed to enquire parents regarding their visit and the subsequent benefits or relief obtained thereby. As Kharadugdha is mentioned to have Balya, Stairakara, Vatahara properties and hence works as Ojaskara and prevent disorders in children. Among the Samanyalakshana of Dugdha Manaskara has been mentioned, it has been commented as Ojaskara by Acharya Chakrapani. Thus an effort was made to assess it with available folklore practice at Dasanoor. It was observed that children, after getting 15ml of Kharadugdha was relived from the reason of their visit like crying, cough etc within 1 or 2 days. As per the survey carried out and from the Samhitas it can be concluded that effect of the Kharadugdha in Balaroga is beneficial by Balya, Stairyakara, Ojaskara and Manaskara effect.
