A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Vyoshadi Sakthu on Elevated Lipid Profile
Authors: - Sudha
Published: July 2024

This single-armed open clinical study explores the efficacy of Vyoshadi Sakthu in managing hyperlipidemia, a condition marked by elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, posing substantial health risks such as cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Administered orally with buttermilk, Vyoshadi Sakthu leverages its Lekhana and Medohara properties to target excess fat accumulation. The study involved 20 participants meeting diagnostic criteria, with lipid profiles assessed at baseline and after a 60th day Vyoshadi Sakthu trial. Statistical analysis, employing the paired t-test, revealed significant reductions in serum cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL levels (p < 0.001) post-intervention. These findings suggest a meaningful impact on lipid metabolism attributed to Vyoshadi Sakthu's Lekhana properties. Additionally, the study highlights potential synergies between Vyoshadi Sakthu treatment and lifestyle modifications, including dietary adjustments and regular exercise. This integrated approach may enhance treatment outcomes, emphasizing holistic management strategies for hyperlipidemia and related metabolic disorders. The results contribute to the growing evidence supporting Ayurvedic interventions' therapeutic efficacy in hyperlipidemia management. However, larger controlled studies are required to validate these findings and ensure the long-term safety and efficacy of Vyoshadi Sakthu. This underscores the importance of integrating traditional knowledge systems like Ayurveda into contemporary healthcare practices to address the complexities of metabolic disorders effectively.

Authors: - Angel Denise De Guzman Natividad , - Angelo Gonzales Lasalita , - Ma. Franchesca Perez Mercado , - Shaira Pearl Ramos Mesina
Published: July 2024

This study is concerned with the relationships between foreign language speaking anxiety and demographic factors among college-level students. The study attempted to predict the roles of speaking self-efficacy and emotional intelligence on foreign language speaking anxiety among 150 (Male = 78; Female = 72) Filipino college students. The data were collected using established scales; the Speaking Skills Self-Efficacy Scale (Asakareh and Dehghannezhad, 2015), Assessing Emotions Scale or Emotional Intelligence Scale (Salovey and Mayer, 1990), and the Foreign Language Speaking Anxiety Scale (Öztürk and Gürbüz, 2014) based on Hortwitz et al. (1986). The results revealed that most Filipino college students suffered from a high level of FLSA (f = 62; % = 41.33) and males were more anxious than females when it comes to speaking a foreign language. It was also stated that foreign language speaking anxiety was negatively correlated with the two variables; speaking self-efficacy and emotional intelligence but they are not a good fit for each other. Hence, this suggests that there might be other predictors that can influence FLSA.

Authors: - Lutfunnaher Keya , - Mohammad Rahmatullah , - Mohammad Jashim Uddin
Published: July 2024

This research paper conducts a meticulous exegesis of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's seminal 7th March 1971 speech through the theoretical framework of Hope Theory as propounded by C.R. Snyder. By dissecting the speech’s rhetorical architecture, this study elucidates how Bangabandhu’s strategic deployment of goal-setting, pathway articulation, and agency instillation galvanized a subjugated populace toward the pursuit of sovereignty. The analysis reveals the intricate mechanisms by which Bangabandhu engendered psychological resilience and fostered a robust communal identity, thus transforming rhetorical constructs into catalysts for socio-political mobilization. Furthermore, this paper expounds on the practical implications of hope-infused rhetoric, underscoring its potency in contemporary political discourse and its capacity to fortify national cohesion. The societal ramifications of such rhetorical prowess are profound, offering contemporary leaders a paradigmatic blueprint for engendering collective action and sustaining national morale amidst adversity. This scholarly inquiry contributes to the corpus of rhetorical studies by providing a nuanced understanding of the interplay between hope, rhetoric, and societal transformation.
Unveiling the Political Veil of Terrorism: Deconstructing the Misconception of Religious Association
Authors: - Chhavi Sharma , - Ayaan Gupta , - Samayra Mahajan
Published: July 2024

This paper probes the complex relationship between religion and terrorism and contests the common thought that terrorism is an outcome of religious affiliation. Based on a careful analysis of both historical origins of terrorism and events of today, the report concludes that terrorism is fundamentally political, a species of warfare — it is essential to state the obvious (and this has historically been less clear than one may think) — just as it is vital not to obfuscate the sinister under the mien of religion. This paper unpacks the tactics routinely em-ployed by terrorist organizations and the susceptibility of individual perpetrators; exposing religion as a mitigating circumstance of violent episodes that otherwise may not have taken place or would have been rationalized in a different narrative of social injustice. By relying on empirical evidence and the opinions of scholars, the study shows that it is of utmost importance to separate religion from terrorism since acts are often carried out by people who hide behind religious beliefs to engage in terrorism and gain popularity.

Review of Literature on Determinants of Loan Repayment Performance in Microfinance Institutions
Authors: - Kiran K , - Sureshramana Mayya
Published: July 2024

This article presents a comprehensive literature review on the determinants of loan repayment performance in microfinance institutions (MFIs). The review aims to enhance the understanding of borrower behaviour regarding loan repayment, focusing on socio-economic, institutional, and motivational factors. It synthesises findings from various studies, including the Indian Institute for Mother and Child (IIMC), a nonprofit Indian MFI, to identify critical determinants influencing borrowers' ability to repay loans. Factors such as income stability, education level, financial literacy, and family size are highlighted as significant socio-economic determinants. Loan-specific factors, including loan size, repayment period, and supervision, are also critical. Institutional practices like credit assessment techniques, loan structuring, and technological adoption are examined alongside social factors such as peer pressure, social cohesiveness, and community support systems.
Additionally, the review explores borrowers' motivation for taking out additional loans, finding that the drive to reach the maximum loan level positively impacts repayment performance. Empirical evidence suggests that repayment rates increase as borrowers approach their loan limits. The article concludes with recommendations for MFIs to improve their operational strategies by addressing these determinants, thereby enhancing loan repayment rates and contributing to the sustainability and effectiveness of microfinance programs.

Published: July 2024

Many freshly created high-potential medications have low water solubility, which is a challenge in formulation development. The study aimed to improve the solubility of Lamotrigine, a weakly soluble medication classified as BCS class II, by solid dispersion techniques. Lamotrigine solid dispersion was created using the solvent evaporation method, and the formulation was assessed using stability tests, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and physical properties. Preformulation investigations yielded satisfactory results, therefore pellets were formed and evaluated. Solid dispersion had a different pharmacokinetic profile than pure medication, which could be attributable to Lamotrigine's faster dissolution rate from solid dispersion

Writing the Self: Identity Formation in Dalit Women’s Life Writings
Authors: - Amonika
Published: July 2024

The formation of self in Dalit women’s writings is a historical process which is based on their lived experiences, centuries of suffering and resistance against the atrocities meted out on them because of untouchability and being women. They depict their struggle for survival and protest through the experiences from their daily lives of poverty, hunger, humiliation and exploitation. Uniquely, Dalit women’s ‘Self’ stands for individual identity as well as the collective identity of the community they belong to. At the intersection of class, caste and gender they are considered as ‘Dalit among Dalits’. In the pages of history, they remained neglected and suffered the ‘triple’ subjugation of caste, class and gender. Presently, they have embarked their self-identity on the literary canon through their life writings as resistance against their subordination – both caste and patriarchy. Their writings are mostly in form of autobiographies, biographies, memoirs and autobiographical fiction and most of them have been written in regional languages which lead to the formation of Dalit ‘Self’. Recently, a few Dalit women’s writings have been translated into English and have got access to the wider range of readers. These translated works, though few in number, have paved ways for Dalit women’s formation of self and have succeeded in establishing a standpoint for themselves – a Dalit Feminist Standpoint. Taking up the analysis of three groundbreaking Dalit women’s autobiographies namely The Prisons We Broke by Baby Kamble, The Weave of My Life by Urmila Pawar and Karukku by Bama, the focus of the paper centers around Dalit women’s suffering and how they successfully combat the hegemony of their oppressors and formed a separate branch of identity for themselves on the literary canon as Dalit feminism.
Mindful Eating Behaviour, Psychological Well-being, and Gender Differences among Young Adults
Authors: - Kavya Krishna K , - Monalisa Nayak
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this paper is to make a theoretical link between mindful eating, psychological health, and gender of young adults concerning health and well-being. The assessment of life satisfaction is a significant aspect of people’s psychological well-being that involves such domains as autonomy, self-realization, interpersonal relationships, and self-approval, which are crucial for estimating the state of people’s mental health. Knowledge and endorsement of what is ingested and how it is processed have been reported to be very effective in supporting healthy nutrition practices and eradicating eating disorders. It is essential to have such behaviors pointed out in young adults because this category of the population is especially susceptible to health hazards during this stage. Personal analysis shows that there is a difference between male and female participants when it comes to psychological health as well as eating habits; therefore, it is essential to examine gender influence on mindful eating as well as the psychological well-being of participants. To assess these variables, the current study employs standard and reliable tools like Ryff’s Psychological Wellbeing Scale and Mindful Eating Behavior Scale on 180 young adult respondents within the age range of 18-26 years. Moreover, demographic variables including gender concerning the relationships on top of depression, stress, and anxiety will also be examined either as the predictor or moderator. The first research question is to understand the direction of the relationship between mindful eating behavior, psychological health, and gender in young adults and the second is to understand whether these relations can be either buffered or exacerbated by specific factors. Thus, the purpose of the study will be to expand the current understanding of the particular strategy that can be used to promote the overall health of such population. In addition, the research will contribute to the database of health determinants concerning young adults and show that complicated approaches are required for individuals with healthy and unhealthy habits concerning their psyche and body.

Published: July 2024

The gut-skin axis is an emerging concept that highlights the intricate relationship between gut health and dermatological well-being. This review explores the bidirectional communication between the gastrointestinal system and the skin, emphasizing the role of gut microbiota in modulating skin health. Dysbiosis, or microbial imbalance in the gut, has been linked to various skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. The mechanisms underlying this connection involve immune system modulation, inflammatory pathways, and metabolic byproducts produced by gut microbes. Probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary interventions are discussed as potential therapeutic strategies to restore gut microbiota balance and improve skin health. Understanding the gut-skin axis offers promising avenues for novel dermatological treatments and underscores the importance of holistic approaches in managing skin disorders.
Reclaiming History: The Role of Memory in Afro-American Literature
Authors: - FAIZA FARHAT MOHAMMAD MUSTAFA
Published: July 2024

This research explores the pivotal role of memory in Afro-American literature, focusing on its multifaceted functions as a tool of resistance, cultural preservation, and historical reinterpretation. Memory in Afro-American literature emerges as a dynamic force that not only documents personal and collective experiences but also challenges dominant narratives of oppression and erasure. Through a nuanced examination of literary works spanning from slave narratives such as Frederick Douglass' "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave" (1845) to contemporary novels like Toni Morrison's "Beloved" (1987), this study illuminates how memory serves as a means of reclaiming agency and identity amidst historical trauma.The research discusses critiques of relying on memory in literature, acknowledging concerns about subjectivity and historical accuracy. It argues that memory in Afro-American literature transcends mere recollection, offering profound insights into the complexities of African American experiences and histories. By exploring examples such as Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God" (1937) and James Baldwin's "The Fire Next Time" (1963), the study demonstrates how Afro-American authors use memory to confront systemic injustices, preserve cultural heritage, and inspire social activism.Ultimately, Afro-American literature's enduring legacy lies in its ability to reshape historical narratives through the transformative power of memory. By interrogating memory's intersections with literature and activism, this research invites readers to engage critically with the past and envision a future grounded in truth, empathy, and reconciliation. Through its exploration of memory's role in shaping identity, justice, and cultural resilience, Afro-American literature continues to provoke thought and inspire meaningful dialogue on the enduring legacies of slavery, segregation, and the ongoing quest for equality.
Humor, Self-Esteem, and Spite: Unraveling the Dynamics in Romantic Relationships
Authors: - Hetika Kirti Dhakkan , - Naila P
Published: July 2024

The tendency to display transgression for individuals we consider close is higher than those we consider distant. And not always there is a "forgive and forget" in such interpersonal dynamics. This revenge-seeking may emerge as spitefulness in romantic relationships, in subtle forms of humor, and is linked with self-esteem. The present research aims to study whether humor and self-esteem increases or de-creases spitefulness among couples. A total of 100 participants (73 female, 27 male) from Mumbai and Bengaluru were asked to fill out a Google form consisting of the Humor Styles Questionnaire, Collective Self-Esteem Scale, and Spitefulness Scale respectively. The statistical tools used were – Pearson's product-moment correlation, two-way ANOVA, and one-way ANOVA. Highlights of the results section revealed there is a significant correlation between aggressive humor and spitefulness, and humor and self-esteem. Spitefulness was unrelated to other humor styles as well as self-esteem. Additional one-way ANOVA revealed difference in humor due to gender and relationship status, while self-esteem and spitefulness have little impact due to gender and relationship status. The study also high-lights the need for a new scale for measuring spitefulness and suggests future studies for a deeper understanding of the underplaying factors associated with spitefulness among couples. The study concludes by suggesting current romantic partners to develop higher self-esteem and benign humor styles to enhance romantic relationship.

Theoderich/Dietrich zwischen Deutschland und Italien: welches Kulturerbe?
Authors: Pontini Elisa
Published: July 2024

Die Figur des Ostgotenkönigs und später rex Italiae Theoderich (um 453/455–526) erfährt bereits früh ein sehr großes Interesse in der Historiographie und Literatur. Noch ,,zu seinen Lebzeiten [erscheinen] meist in seinem got.-italischen Umfeld“1
Berichte zu seiner Person und kurz nach seinem Tod setzt eine breite Rezeption an: Zahlreiche Theoderich-Testimonien sind bis heute überliefert worden;2 unzählig sind Erwähnungen des Königs in Chroniken und Legendensammlungen.3 In Deutschland bildet
sich auch schon zu Anfang eine Sage (die Dietrichsage) um die historische Figur Theoderichs, in der der Protagonist und Held Dietrich von Bern als literarisches Alter Ego Theoderichs fungiert. Bald unterscheidet man auch zwischen einer lateinisch-italienischen und einer deutschen Rezeptionsströmung:
Während die römisch-kirchliche Tradition Theoderich als Usurpator Italiens und arianischen Kerker darstellt (und ihn deswegen zur Verdammnis verurteilt), wird die deutsche deutlich positiver beurteilt. Theoderich ,,vereinigt[] […] ,germanische‘ Tugenden, wie kriegerisches
Wesen und hohe moralische Grundsätze, mit der Wertschätzung für die Leistungen der römischen Kultur“.4 Doch sollten sich im Allgemeinen von Beginn an und ,,bis ins 20. Jh. hinein […] positive und negative Sichtweisen abwechseln“:5
Auch wenn negative Beurteilungen seit dem Humanismus meist in den Hintergrund rücken,6 bleiben auch theoderichfeindliche Deutungen bestehen. Die Darstellung des Theoderich/Dietrich erlebt also im Laufe der Jahrhunderte viele Interpretationen und neue Akzentuierungen. Ziel des
vorliegenden Beitrags ist es, einige dieser Umdeutungen am Beispiel vier ausgewählter Texte aus dem deutschen und italienischen Kulturraum zu ergründen, welche aus dem ausgehenden 19. bzw. aus dem 20. Jh. stammen.7 Dabei handelt es sich um folgende Texte: Giosuè
Carduccis Gedicht La leggenda di Teodorico (1884/1885),8 Wilhelm Schäfers Roman Theoderich König des Abendlandes (1939),9 Wilhelm Bartschs Jugendbuch Heldenlärm10 (1998) sowie Dario Fos La vera storia di Ravenna (1999).11
Im Folgenden soll besonders den Fragen nachgegangen werden, welche Transformationen die Figur Theoderichs/Dietrichs im 19. und 20. Jh. in der deutschen und italienischen Literatur – in Hinblick auf das Kulturerbe – erfahren hat und aus welchem Grund diese neu interpretiert und
umgewandelt worden ist.

Piper is a large plant genus containing essential oils rich in mono and sesquiterpenes and other secondary metabolites showing different biological activities. Piper aequale, cordoncillo, is used in México for urinary and prostate ailments, suggesting a potential therapeutic effect against prostate cancer. Due to the lack of chemical and pharmacological information on this species, in this work antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities were evaluated. Leaves ethanol and methanol extracts were used to assess antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP), antimicrobial activity (Kirby-Bauer) against clinically relevant strains and antiproliferative activity on prostate cancer cell line PC-3 (MTT assay). Methanolic extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, with 69.08% (DPPH) and inhibitory effects on pathogenic bacterial strains associated with urinary tract infections. Ethanolic extract displayed moderate antiproliferative activity (IC50 81.28 μg/mL), showing cytotoxicity from 100 μg/mL. This study demonstrates P. aequale exhibits inhibitory effects against bacteria associated with urinary problems and antiproliferative properties in prostate cancer cells.

A dynamic state of people, processes, environments, goods, and services that either meet or beyond expectations is known as service quality. It is vital to improve services to compete and provide higher-quality services at the Muara Satu Community Health Center through initiatives to enhance human resources and ongoing performance improvement. The Muara Satu Community Health Center has received major accreditation for its services; however, as of yet, no reassessment has been conducted. The management of Puskesmas wishes to refine the accreditation to become plenary so that patient satisfaction can serve as a gauge of the success of the center's health services provided to the community. This study aims to evaluate the degree of agreement between patient interests and satisfaction and the Muara Satu Community Health Center's service quality performance. Additionally, it seeks to identify the attributes that should be given priority for service improvement through the application of the Potential Gain in Customer Value (PGCV) method. Patients' complaints regarding services, such as uncomfortable waiting rooms and a lack of information about the ailments they were suffering from, posed a challenge for this study. Five categories were created based on 17 characteristics of the patient requests made at the health center and were given to 58 pre-selected samples. This category includes Assurance, Empathy, Tangible, Reliability, and Responsive. The Muara Satu Health Center is required to implement seven priority orders for quality improvement based on the IPA and PGCV methods, based on data processing findings. These orders include requiring the Community Health Center staff to inform patients before providing services, having a comfortable waiting area, and having officers act quickly and appropriately when necessary. Facilities in Puskesmas are fully equipped. The types of ailments, their treatments, and how to take medication are all thoroughly explained by the doctor.

A single hectare of oil palms may yield 10 tons of fronds annually, with young oil palms producing 40–56 fronds and mature oil palms producing 40–48 fronds. One kind of solid debris that comes from making palm oil is called palm oil fronds. A method is required to lessen palm frond waste because substantial volumes of it will still need to degrade. Waste palm fronds are reduced in size and broken down more quickly with the assistance of a chopping machine. But for slicing palm frond trash, the frond machines that are now in use are not the best. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether adding more blades to a chopping machine's cutting knife can enhance the chopping process. Two designs with 19 and 26 blades were manufactured and tested for the research, and the results were compared with the cutting knife design from the prior study, which had 24 blades. According to the test results, adding additional blades to the cutting knife will improve the machine's effective capacity by 14.22% and decrease the size of waste palm fronds and leaves, allowing the machine to operate more efficiently. In addition, reducing the size of palm fronds with more knives can make them easier to break down
