Mantradrashta Rishis in Major Puranas: An Analytical study
Authors: Dr. Saroj Kumari
Published: December 2024

Two streams of thought are visible from the Vedic period – the Veda stream and the Purana stream. The Vedas are religious from the very beginning and give importance to the method of sacrifice by referring to a specific deity in sacrifices. In the context of Vedic literature, religion, philosophy and culture in our Indian culture, sages have made a special contribution. Rishis have contributed in making India a Vishwaguru and Indian culture the first culture of the world. Sa Prathama Sanskriti Vishwavara . Shuklajurveda, 7.14 That is, our culture is the oldest. The message of this culture was given by our sages to the whole world, which has made it a world culture. In fact, the sages have been the originators of all streams of knowledge. The goal of the Puranas is to give a detailed description by following and reviewing the folklore. In the beginning of the Kalpa (Yuga), the first preaching of the eternal Vedic word Rashi took place in the heart of Brahmaji and traditional studies and teaching continued from Brahmaji, whose direction is received from the texts of Vansh-Brahmin etc. Therefore, Brahma, the original man of the entire Vedic tradition.
Integration of Identity in Fragmented Forestscape: Bioregional Possibilities and Place-based Orientations in Sheela Tomy’s Valli: a novel
Authors: Sapna Dubey  , Rakesh Kumar Pandey  , Gourhari Behera
Published: December 2024

The articulation of place-based attachments and restoration of human and natural bond keeping place in the center is the central preoccupation of Bioregional studies. Along with addressing the ecology of the place, it analyses the cultural aspects and human behavior in the context of that specific locale. It is both a socio-environmental movement and a philosophy which seeks conscious and sensitive human approach in the context of their place/land.  Sheela Tomy’s novel Valli: a novel stiches together the geography, ecology and bio politics of Kalluvayal, a village set in Northern Kerala, rich in unique flora and fauna. It is an environmental novel in which forest is placed as ‘Place’ and emerges as the main protagonist whose story and history are parallel to that of its inhabitants (human and other-than-human). This paper intends to address core bioregional values and then explore the novel in terms of those values as it demystifies the secrets of the forest in which history and imagination, culture and rituals, beliefs and practices, myths and superstitions, legends and folklores, songs and stories, survival and resistance, and many heard and unheard voices of dwellers as well as those of voiceless beings are all together mingled inseparably. This paper attempts to shed light on vividly portrayed struggle of indigenous people—the rightful keepers of land—for their valli (earth), for their home –mother forest—against state policies of forceful land encroachment, and increasing deforestation for the sake of tourist industry and modern developments.

Background: Missed nursing care, encompassing delayed, incomplete, or omitted care, has emerged as a critical area of focus in the past decade due to its implications on patient outcomes and nursing satisfaction. It is influenced by factors like resource scarcity, teamwork, and patient acuity and has been linked to adverse events, particularly in vulnerable populations like older adults. Methods: This review synthesizes findings from seven systematic reviews exploring the frequency, predictors, and outcomes of missed nursing care across diverse hospital environments. Databases including EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and Scopus were searched, examining factors such as staffing levels, workload, and communication. Studies were primarily cross-sectional and observational. Results: Missed nursing care is prevalent globally, with significant variance influenced by staffing, workload, and communication dynamics. Commonly missed aspects include psychosocial support, communication, and patient education. Associations were found between missed care and adverse outcomes, such as infections, pressure injuries, and increased mortality, particularly in older patients. However, causality remains unclear due to methodological limitations. Conclusion: Missed nursing care is a multifaceted issue with broad implications for patient safety, nursing satisfaction, and healthcare outcomes. Further research, including longitudinal and experimental studies, is needed to elucidate causal pathways and develop effective interventions.

Abstract: To investigate the real-world poisoning of Cu-SSZ-13 NH3-SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction with NH3) catalysts in diesel vehicles, three used catalysts from vehicles that have traveled different distances were analyzed. The deterioration observed in these catalysts significantly differs from laboratory simulations due to the combined effect of multiple poisoning factors. The degree of catalyst deterioration is positively correlated not only with driving distance but also with the specific types of poisoning encountered. In real-world conditions, hydrothermal aging is not the primary poisoning factor. Instead, the main cause of Cu-SSZ-13 deactivation is the poisoning by chemical elements such as sulfur and iron. Sulfur poisoning reduces catalytic activity, and the regeneration of the catalyst depends on the species formed. This study reveals that the accumulation of chemical poisons is the primary reason for the deterioration of Cu-SSZ-13 catalysts in real-world conditions. Therefore, reducing toxic components in diesel engine exhaust is essential for maintaining catalyst performance.

Abstract: With the advent of the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, the market share of EVs has been steadily increasing, accompanied by growing interest in the heat pump air-conditioning system (including cooling and heating functionalities) of electric vehicles. As the second-largest energy-consuming system in a vehicle, the air-conditioning system significantly impacts driving range, especially under winter heating conditions, where excessive energy consumption can greatly reduce the vehicle’s range. This study addresses the issue of high energy consumption of heat pump air-conditioning systems in winter. By constructing a one-dimensional model of the heat pump air-conditioning system for electric vehicles, the study analyzes the impact of compressor speed, EHX opening, and recirculation ratio on energy consumption and heating capacity under WLTC operating conditions at an ambient temperature of −5 °C. The results indicate that an EHX opening of 450 steps, an external air circulation ratio of 30%, and a compressor speed of approximately 5000 RPM provide optimal heating performance for the heat pump air-conditioning system. This simulation offers insights for optimizing heat pump air-conditioning systems and improving the driving range of electric vehicles. Further optimization could enhance EV range issues and boost the market competitiveness of this type of electric vehicle.

Abstract: Cardiac macrophages play a crucial role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, and myocarditis. Macrophages are plastic cells that change their polarization states and functions in response to alterations in the surrounding environment. This process is deeply involved in various biological processes such as inflammation, tissue remodeling and repairing, exacerbating or mitigating the diseases progression. Thus, macrophages have emerged as potential therapeutic targets for multiple cardiac diseases. Upon sympathetic activation, adrenergic/ cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling axis markedly modulates macrophages polarization and functions. It has been well-established that the intracellular cAMP is highly compartmentalized in cardiomyocytes. However, the spatiotemporal regulation of cAMP in cardiac macrophages and its implications in macrophage-driven cardiac diseases remain to be elucidated. In this review, we focus on the adrenergic/cAMP regulation of macrophage plasticity and function in the heart and discuss potentials and challenges of targeting the adrenergic/cAMP axis for cardiac diseases.

Abstract: Transverse tubules are specialised invaginations of the cardiomyocyte sarcolemma. They play a crucial role in cardiac cells by facilitating the coordination of calcium signalling and contraction. They achieve this by housing many ion channels and establishing connections with important structural elements within the cell. The morphology of t-tubules exhibits significant variation across different species and within distinct regions of the heart, allowing for the customisation of their functionality to suit the individual physiological requirements of the organism. Smaller animals with higher heart rates possess more intricate and densely concentrated t-tubules in comparison to larger mammals. This indicates the need for fast calcium signalling. In heart failure, there are harmful alterations in the t-tubules. These changes include a reduction in their density and a rearrangement from their usual alignment. As a result, the heart’s ability to control calcium levels is compromised. As a result, there is a decrease in the strength of heart contractions and a lack of efficient relaxation, which both contribute to the symptoms and progression of the condition. This paper examines the present medications and interventions that specifically address t-tubule remodelling, which have demonstrated efficacy in restoring certain elements of t-tubule function. Additionally, it emphasises the capacity of physical activity to enhance t-tubule density and general cardiovascular well-being. Recent advances in imaging technology provide intriguing opportunities to investigate t-tubules in live cells. These observations have the potential to result in substantial enhancements in the therapy and control of heart failure.

Abstract: The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) has attracted significant attention as a promising strategy for storing intermittent energy in chemical bonds while sustainably producing value-added chemicals and fuels. Copper-based bimetallic catalysts are particularly appealing for CO2RR due to their unique ability to generate multi-carbon products. While substantial effort has been devoted to developing new catalysts, the evolution of bimetallic systems under operational conditions remains underexplored. In this work, we synthesized a series of CuxNi1−x nanoparticles and investigated their structural evolution during CO2RR. Due to the higher oxophilicity of Ni compared to Cu, the particles tend to become Ni-enriched at the surface upon air exposure, promoting the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). At negative activation potentials, cathodic corrosion has been observed in CuxNi1−x nanoparticles, leading to the significant Ni loss and the formation of irregularly shaped Cu nanoparticles with increased defects. This structural evolution, driven by cathodic corrosion, shifts the electrolysis from HER toward CO2 reduction, significantly enhancing the Faradaic efficiency of multi-carbon products (C2+).

Published: December 2024

Drought is caused by a lack of long-term rainfall. The humans as well as environment are greatly affected due to drought. It is not related to particular climate regions but it causes similar effect in all climatic regions of the world. There are a number of drought prone areas in India so the Government of India has developed a Drought Affected Area Plan which is being implemented in drought prone areas. An attempt has been made in this paper studying two drought indices such as Departure Index (DI) and Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI) in Nambiyar River Basin of Tamil Nadu to assess the drought condition. Only 3 classifications (moderate, mild and no droughts) are observed in Departure Index. Mild drought years are highly found in Nambiyar River basin followed by moderate and no droughts. Chidambarapuram, Nainaputhoor station had maximum drought of 24 years and 6 years of moderate drought is observed in Vallioor station. The frequency of drought years for RAI index are repeatedly noted high during the year 2003, 2016 and Keeriparai station had the highest negative anomaly value of -10.67 in the year 2017.

Groundwater is an essential resource that is used for drinking water, agriculture, ecosystem maintenance, and other purposes. It is also important for the environment. The groundwater level is highly affected by the monsoon season, and as our study area is a semi-arid region, the fluctuation in rainfall has a high effect on its groundwater level. For this study, we used 29 years of rainfall data collected from the Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD) and the Tamil Nadu State Environment and Related Issues (TNENVIS), and to find the drought prone areas, we used the Standardised Ground Water Index method. The results of our study indicated that certain areas in the region are highly susceptible to drought conditions due to the variability in rainfall patterns and overexploitation. This information can be valuable for policymakers and stakeholders in implementing strategies to manage and conserve groundwater resources effectively.

Published: December 2024

Migration is a complex and dynamic process in which persons move from one place to another through time and space. It is a vast population movement often undertaken under hazardous conditions. People migrate for various reason, such as better employment opportunities, in search of land for growing crops, better living standards, desire to get rich quickly through mining and other prospects, search for a more religiously tolerant society and need for political freedom. Migration from rural-rural, rural-urban, and urban-urban is not merely movement of people, but it is a fundamental factor helping to explain the ever-changing space-content and space-relations in a country. It is a vital process bringing in changes in the distributional pattern of population and is basic to understand the spread of people at any given moment in time [Gurudev Singh Ghosal, 1961]. The movement could be either internal or international. Internal migration is an important demographic phenomenon, which reflects many socio-economic aspects of a region. In this study an attempt has been made to bring to focus some aspects of internal migration in Karnataka and to analyze some of the factors behind the internal movement of the population.

Published: December 2024

Chronic pain in horses is generally associated with diseases such as osteoarthritis and laminitis, characterized as chronic degenerative joint diseases. These consequently lead to reduced performance, early retirement and loss of animal welfare. According to Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (MVTC), joint pain is characterized within the so-called Bi Syndrome, which relates to degenerative joint diseases. It is necessary, therefore, to recognize and evaluate pain aiming at the animals' quality of life and advances in the creation of diagnostic and anti-inflammatory and analgesic therapeutic possibilities in an integrative way. At MVTC, there are integrative techniques with significant potential to promote quality of life for these patients. Such therapies have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, are safe, without side effects, effective and easy to perform with adequate training. The objective of this review is to bring together the main bases for the integration of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in degenerative joint disease in equine sports medicine.

Influenza is a major public health concern, with vaccination being the most effective strategy for its prevention. Nurses play a vital role in promoting vaccination, yet barriers such as knowledge gaps and institutional challenges can hinder their adherence to vaccination practices. Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses regarding influenza vaccination in a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 113 nurses using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, with descriptive statistics summarizing key findings. Results: The majority of participants demonstrated limited knowledge, with only 47.8% correctly identifying the types of influenza viruses. Despite a generally positive attitude, with 44.2% agreeing to seek medical attention for influenza-like symptoms, vaccination practices were suboptimal. Only 18.6% of nurses frequently received the influenza vaccine, and 35.4% rarely encouraged their families to vaccinate. Conclusion: The findings underscore the need for targeted educational interventions and institutional policies to improve knowledge and vaccination practices among nurses. Enhancing these competencies is critical for reducing influenza transmission and improving public health outcomes.
The application of honey in treating wounds
Authors: Xiao Yumo
Published: December 2024

Wounds such as burns, ulcers, and postoperative wounds always have a place on the list of common health problems in most countries. The inadequate treatment of these wounds seriously affects normal production, life, and economic development. Honey is not only a nutritious food, but also very useful in treating wounds. Honey has good antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, debridement, and anti-scab effects, and is also beneficial for tissue regeneration. These functions benefit from both its chemical composition and physical properties. This research mainly discusses the influence of honey varieties and honey usage methods on treatment effectiveness, the impact of honey treatment on different wounds, and the ability of honey to lighten scars. In terms of wound treatment, the main products related to honey include medical grade honey used directly, hydrogel added with honey, fiber membrane and ointment. Improved products such as hydrogel have improved the inconvenience of directly smearing honey to a certain extent. Honey has shown good effects in the treatment of burns, postoperative wounds, diabetes feet and other diseases, but there is still not enough research to clearly show how effective honey is in eliminating scars.
Implications of Modifiable and Non-Modifiable Determinants of Dementia for Public Health Policies and Prevention Strategies
Authors: Xu Yifei
Published: December 2024

Dementia, characterized by cognitive decline and memory deterioration, poses a significant and growing global health challenge. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form, with others including Lewy body dementia (LBD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and vascular dementia (VaD). The World Health Organization estimates that 55 million people worldwide are affected, a number projected to triple by 2050. This essay explores both non-modifiable and modifiable determinants of dementia and their implications for public health policies and prevention efforts. Non-modifiable determinants include age, genetics, and sex, all of which significantly influence dementia risk. Ageing is the primary risk factor, with genetic factors such as mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2, and the APOE 4 allele increasing susceptibility. Women, due to their longer lifespan and hormonal differences, are at a higher risk compared to men. Modifiable determinants encompass lifestyle factors and medical conditions, notably diet, physical activity, alcohol and tobacco use, hypertension, and diabetes. Effective public health policies, like the WHO's Global Action Plan, emphasize early intervention and lifestyle modifications. Integrating these determinants into policy making requires a balanced approach, considering the dynamic nature of modifiable factors and the specific needs of an aging population. The essay underscores the need for comprehensive public health education, destigmatization of dementia, and an inclusive healthcare infrastructure to enhance dementia prevention and care, ultimately reducing the societal burden of this condition.

Published: December 2024

Background: Liver failure is a critical clinical condition with complex pathophysiology, where the role of immune cells has been increasingly recognized. However, establishing causality between immune cell activity and liver failure has been challenging. We aimed to investigate the causal role of specific immune cell populations in the development of liver failure using Mendelian randomization (MR) techniques. Methods: Genetic data from the Genome-wide association study (GWAS) database, focusing on 731 immunophenotypes and a liver failure dataset was utilised. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with immune cell exposures were identified and used as instrumental variables. MR analyses were performed using the TwoSampleMR package in R, employing various MR techniques, including weighted median, MR Egger, inverse-variance weighted (IVW), and others. The robustness of the MR findings was assessed through heterogeneity, pleiotropy, and leave-one-out sensitivity analyses. Results: Our MR study revealed significant causal associations between several immune cell populations and liver failure. Notably, genetic variants associated with CD28 on CD39+ CD4+ T cells and CD3 on CD39+ secreting T Reg cells were found to be causally linked to an increased risk of liver failure. The IVW MR method, which has been previously validated for its performance, provided the most consistent results across immune cell exposures. Conclusion: Our findings suggest a direct causal role for specific immune cells in liver failure, offering potential targets for future therapeutic strategies.

The analysis of whether CRISPR-Cas9 is the way forward for Alzheimers disease treatment
Authors: Wang Yijin (Elsa)
Published: December 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and irreversible neurological condition which according to WHO affects more than 55 million individuals globally and is the leading cause of dementia and thereby poses a significant burden on healthcare systems worldwide. AD progresses through stages of mild cognitive impairment to severe dementia and is characterised by the accumulation of extracellular amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles concentrated with tau proteins in neocortical structures and the temporal lobe. Gene-editing technology such as the most prevalent CRISPR-Cas9 provides prospects for the treatment of AD by enabling precise modifications of the genetic mutations associated with the disease. This review explores the potential of CRISPR-Cas9 to revolutionise treatment by targeting and rectifying mutated genes but also examines the current state of Alzheimers treatment. This paper examines recent advancements in preclinical studies and highlights the successes in reducing amyloid-beta plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the pathological features of AD. By evaluating current CRISPR-Cas9 research and other treatments for AD, I aim to provide insight into its potential as a transformative gene therapy approach whilst evaluating its limitations.
