Heterodoxical Ideologies of Some Philosophical ISMS
Authors:   Retd., S.B.Science College,Aurangabad-431001, SHARMA Prof. Dr. G. N.
Published: April 2022

An impartial analysis and spotlight on the philosophical ‘Isms’ clearly shows that not all the recognized behavioural sciences help us in day to day life and particularly in the trying situations. In fact the primary task of philosophy, traditionally assigned, is to study the nature of human existence and our relationships with each other. Having universally acknowledged the famous Aristotelean remark about human nature that Man is a Social Animal, the very next problem that arises is how to transform him into a cultured animal ? Scores of Isms are available but not all have a true grip on human mind. A few of them can safely be ignored concluding that they have merely earned historical importance but the efficacy of even those in vogue needs to be examined. This is because the struggle of humanity as a whole and in particular, related to the sensitive souls has not ended. It is but natural to look at the Isms with a hope or expectation to get proper guidance. Needless to say, there is a sort of chaos and as scientifically proved there is a continuity at an incomprehensible pace in this entropean world. We have updated our knowledge from scientific research to gain comfort yet there is something missing owing to which complacency is shattered. That is why complex philosophies presented in a verbose manner may impress us for a while but in actual practice they do not serve a right purpose. Philosophical thoughts can get a response in an appreciative manner only when displayed through a simplified version. Philosophers and Thinkers are definitely benefitted from a huge repertoire of knowledge. But the issue is regarding the art of presenting the gist of it for a common man who eagerly seeks guidance from the philosophical Isms. Seekers of wisdom do not have narrow confines but they might face the problem of presentation. No doubt they have to sound academic for exhibiting their scholarship but the world is habituated to dwell on a utility based platform. This paper tries to focus on those Isms which have not only significance but also are usable and therefore, we need to be wary enough in selecting them for following or practising in life.

The Relationship Between Financial Reporting and Sustainability Report. The Exposure Draft: IFRS S1 General Requirement for Disclosure of Sustainability-Related Financial Information (From International Sustainability Standard Board) Overcomes the Duality of External Corporate Disclosure
Authors:   Professor in Business Administration, Management Department- Ca’Foscari Venezia S. Giobbe – Cannaregio 873- 30121 Venezia (Italy), Avi Maria Silvia
Published: April 2022

On 29 March 2022, the International Sustainability Standard Board (ISSB), an emanation of the IASB, issued two Exposure Drafts: IFRS S1 General Requirement for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosure. This article will only deal with Draft S1, which proposes a vision of corporate disclosure that goes beyond the Financial reporting of the year/Sustainability disclosure dualism. Draft S1 suggests a unitary corporate communication that, at the same time, disseminates a set of documents to be considered as a whole concerning the company's financial situation, assets and liabilities, income and the actions and strategies implemented concerning sustainability. This proposal proposes a model of global corporate reporting rather than a fragmented one, as is often the case in companies in many countries. However, even in the vision of Draft S1, the presence of the financial statements remains separate from the document providing information on sustainability, even if interpreted as a unitary means of communication. It should also be noted that the sustainability report requires the disclosure of financial data related to the implementation of sustainable policies.

Authors: Nayak Ajay Kumar , Fiaz Shamsa
Published: April 2022

Agnikarma, or heat cauterization, is one of Ayurveda's Anushastras (surgical tool substitutes) or para-surgical techniques. It is said to offer total relief in some chronic ailments that aren't treated by herbal treatment, surgery, or alkaline cauterization. Ancient Indian surgeon Sushruta prescribed various materials such as Pippali (pipperlongum), Ajasakrut (goat's excreta), Godantha (cow's tooth), Shara (arrow), Shalaka (metal rods), Kshoudra (honey), Guda (jaggery), Sneha (oil/fat) etc. for cauterizing specific body parts such as skin, muscle, blood vessels, ligaments, etc. based for various illness conditions, appropriate material should be selected according to the surgeon's rationale. Agnikarma has a multi-faceted effect on the body. Because of its Tikshna (rapid action), Ushna (hotness), Sukshma (subtle), Vyavayi (fast spreading), and Vikashi (works without being metabolised) properties to eradicate Srotorodha (obstruction in channels of body), it is usually employed in Vata and Kapha diseases.The fundamentals of Agnikarma are attempted to be revealed in this essay.

Authors: Sundar Bhumika , Gadad Geeta G
Published: April 2022

Good health is the ultimatum to longevity. Varna (Skin Complexion) is considered to be an important aspect of health in Ayurveda. Therefore, the quality of skin and its appearance is a key indicator of good health. Deplorable skin conditions impact mental health which may further lead to stress, low personal drive, lack of motivation, fear of communicability of transmitting it to others. At the outset, this article underpins Varnya Mahakashaya of Ayurveda that can be alternatively used as Rasayana and curative medicine than its current extensive use, i.e., cosmetic skin care. Based on analysis and review of classical texts about the application of Varna Mahakashaya (i.e., the formulations that had Varna Mahakashaya as a key ingredient) under three broad categories - Rasayana, Vyadhihara (curative), and Varnya (as a cosmetic) - About 24 formulations lead to effective rejuvenation (Rasayana); 54 formulations were a remedy to skin diseases such as Kushta, Visarpa, Mukhadooshika etc (Vyadhiahara) and eight formulations were typically used for cosmetic purposes (Varnya). Among the group of drugs, Vidari, Yashtimadhu, Chandana and Ushira has been found to be incorporated more in the formulations under the said categories respectively. Therefore, we can conclude that Varnya Mahakashaya not only aids in providing healthy skin or cosmetic purposes, but also plays a vital role in treating a wide variety of skin disorders. This can effectively lead to a balanced, healthy, and stress-free life. In total, Varna Mahakashaya undoubtedly helps improve overall health
Intellectual elite and Homo intellectualis of the information civilization
Authors:   Sochi State University, Salova Tamara
Published: April 2022

The emergence of a new class of intellectuals - the intellectual elite - is associated with the transition to an information civilization, which is considered by futurologists as the modern stage of human development, when intelligence becomes the central concept, and intellectual culture determines the level of intelligence development. The study of the role of the intellectual elite in the society and the description of the "portrait" of a representative of the intellectual elite is the purpose of the research. The methodological basis of the research is a dialectical logic, which gives an idea of the patterns of the development; a systematic approach associated with the idea of an object as an integral system, with the identification of diverse types of connections of a complex object and bringing them into a single theoretical picture. As a result of the research, the main purpose of the intellectual elite has been revealed, the features of intellectual labor in a society with a network structure of interaction determined, and the conclusion made that the intellectual elite is at the same time a spiritual and moral elite, i.e. represents the modern intelligentsia. The rationale for the introduction of the new concept of "Homo intellectualis" (intellectual person) into scientific circulation can be considered as a key conclusion. The relevance of the topic and its practical significance is connected with the strategic line of the state to raise the prestige of intellectual labor and increase the intellectual potential of the nation.

Authors:   Mari State University, Serkina Nadezhda
Published: April 2022

The relevance of the research is conditioned by the need to develop the institution of social management in the transition of the society to the information stage of its development, which requires new management approaches in the face of exacerbation of globalization risks. Traditional methods of managing a society, primarily bureaucratic ones, do not provide the proper efficiency and effectiveness of the management process in such conditions. Therefore, the aim of the research is to consider adhocracy as a method of social management as an alternative to the traditional bureaucratic paradigm. On the basis of a comparative analysis, the bureaucratic and project (adhocracy) management approaches have been considered, the main characteristics of these methods highlighted, their advantages and disadvantages shown in relation to the institution of social management, and the practice of applying the project approach in public administration in modern Russian society briefly characterized. The author proposes options for achieving a balanced management approach based on a reasonable combination of process bureaucratic and result-oriented project management in the modern information society in order to maintain a balance of social innovation and homeostasis, ensuring the integrity and manageability of the social organism. It has been concluded that the application of the project approach in social management is promising, provided that the administrative and legislative obstacles that impede the use of the adhocracy method in management practice are eliminated.

They are often considered as part of the history of medicine, although in Tsarist Russia a lot of laws were issued regulating pharmacy activities. The purpose of the research is to analyze the development of the pharmacy business in the Maykop department at the time of its historical existence as a state unit. The research objectives: on the basis of legislative acts and charters to trace the legal regulation of the pharmacy business of the Maykop department; to explore existing types of pharmacies; to study the state of health of the population, the personalities of pharmacists and pharmacy assistants on the basis of the texts of archival documents. The research methods: source study, historical-typological, comparative, statistical ones. The formation of the pharmacies of the Maykop department occurred according to the laws of the Russian Empire. At the time of the formation of the department, there were only two free pharmacies in the city of Maykop. Later in more than 20 villages rural pharmacies and pharmacy stores were opened which provided the population with medicines. These pharmacies in most cases belonged to pharmacists or pharmacy assistants with a pharmaceutical education who own normal pharmacies in Maykop.

Authors:   Dagestan Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences,, Ramazanov Rashid
Published: April 2022

In the post-soviet period, the existing volunteerism was replaced by volunteering, which has different forms of expression (cultural, social, political, environmental, etc.). The issue of determining the demand for volunteering and volunteer movement in the modern Russian society has become relevant for a number of reasons, including changes in the social well-being of the population, the inefficiency of the social policy of the state, the emergence of socially unprotected strata that require the attention and help of caring and active citizens. The purpose of the research is to identify the assessment and attitude towards the volunteer movement that exists in the public consciousness of the Dagestan population. The research method is a mass standardized survey. The study shows there is a positive attitude towards socially useful work on a voluntary basis with motivation in the mass consciousness of the Dagestanis, that, firstly, it helps to educate the principles of mercy, moral qualities, collectivism in society, and secondly. In society there is the need to carry out socially useful work on a voluntary basis (helping the sick, the elderly and lonely people, environmental problems, participation in sports events, etc.). The results of the survey indicate that the surveyed Dagestan population is aware of volunteer activities, but at the same time, the respondents demonstrate passive behavior with a weakly expressed civic activity. However, empiricism shows that a certain part of the young generation of the Dagestanis is ready to take an active part in the volunteer movement, to provide the necessary social and other assistance to the categories of the population that need it.

Authors: Mehrun Nisa  , Saeed Ahmad Buzdar  , Muhammad Arshad Javid  , Muhamamd Saeed Ahmad  , Ayesha Ikhlaq  , Sadia Riaz
Published: April 2022

Objective: To characterize human liver tissues by demonstrating the ability of machine vision, and to propose a new auto-generated report based on texture analysis that may work with co-occurrence matrix statistics.
Method: The retrospective study was conducted at Bahawal Victoria Hospital (BVH), Bahawalpur, Pakistan, and comprised clinically verified computed tomography imaging data between October 2018 and September 2020. The image samples and related data were used to segregate classes 1-4. Appropriate image classes belonging to the same disease were trained to confirm the abnormalities in liver tissues using supervised learning methods, principal component analysis, linear discriminant analysis, and non-linear discriminant analysis. Robust and reliable texture features were investigated by generating testing classes. Overall performance of the presented machine vision approach was analyzed using four parameters; precision, recall/sensitivity, F1-score, and accuracy. Statistical analysis was done using B11 software.
Results: There were 312 image samples from 71 patients; 51(71.8%) males and 20(28.2%) females. Among the patients, 19(26.7%) had abscess, 15(21.1%) had metastatic disease, 23(32.4%) had tumour necrosis, 6(8.5%) had vascular disorder, and 8(11.3%) were normal. Principal component analysis, linear discriminant analysis, and non-linear discriminant analysis showed high >97.86% values, but the discrimination rate was 100% for class 4.

Pre-eclampsia, a prominent gestational hypertensive disorder, affects around 2-8% of pregnancies and is the dominating cause of late- life maternal morbidities worldwide. Frequent signs of this disorder such as proteinuria, hypertension, and thrombocytopenia, are detected by physicians during the routine antenatal checkups of expectant women. Pre-eclampsia, if left untreated, delineates with complications like central nervous system dysfunction, microangiopathies, thromboembolism, and cerebrovascular accidents in later life of women.[1] Vascular dementia is noticed as one of the late-life complications in women with a history of preeclampsia. Two cohort analyses disclosed a significantly increased risk of vascular dementia in later life of women with a history of preeclampsia. [2,3] Incidence of vascular dementia was noticed as being thrice more common in these women when compared to the non-pre-eclamptic ones. [2]
Like all over the world, high percentage of pre-eclampsia cases are also rampant in the rural areas of Pakistan. An analysis from Sukkar, rural Sindh, Pakistan, showed that Preeclampsia and eclampsia cases in a tertiary care hospital accounted for 112 (5.56%) of total 2012 deliveries. Out of these cases, 6.45% were unbooked, depicting the negligence of antenatal care, and 5.8% were found linked to low education levels. [4]
The extensive urban-rural gap in the utilization of antenatal care can be determined by the fact that according to reports, 70% of women in the lower quantile of South Asia undergo labor at home in comparison 40% of them deliver without any professional assistance. In Southeast Asia, only 17.7% of lower area women were recorded to use public maternity facilities.[5] A survey from Interior Sindh of Pakistan reported that most rural women have no access to maternity centres within 10km of their living. The authors further stated that the rural residents believed that medical interventions could pose a threat to pregnancy so they preferred untrained midwives over proper maternity centre visits, which could be one of the prime reasons for undiagnosed gestational disorders in these women.[6]
Lack of antenatal care utilization could be due to paucity of awareness amongst rural women or the dearth of maternity centres in such underdeveloped areas. Together these factors presented as the key attributes to vascular dementia favouring pre-eclampsia. In rural areas, where barriers to healthcare services and socioeconomic inequality already prevail, this untended rise is a red flag situation. Respective Governments should channel efforts in expanding the accessible maternity setups in these poorly facilitated areas.

The centrality of examinations to the understanding of competences and abilities of examinees across the globe cannot be overemphasised. The paper focused on exploring the criteria used in setting the English language component of the Mature Students’ Entrance Examination questions in Ghana. The qualitative design (specifically, multiple case study design) was employed for the paper. Using the multi-stage sampling technique, five Ghanaian universities were used for the paper. The data was elicited from in-depth interviews applied on the lecturers who set the English language component of the MSEE questions. [1] data analysis spiral plan was employed to analyse the data. The paper revealed that there were major weaknesses in the criteria used by the universities in areas such as training of the assessors, use of standard assessment models and consideration of test takers’ characteristics. The paper advanced, to policy makers, suggestions such as the adoption of standard assessment models and the training of the assessors for the improvement of the examination2

In this cosmopolitan era where the distance between different ethnicities and races has collapsed, we find a new form of literature which employs code-switching, examples being diaspora literature. An important notion to consider with regards to bilingual literature is to see what effect it has on the readers because, in this context, the readers become the translators. By leaning on linguistic and sociolinguistic theories about codeswitching as well new findings in translation studies, this study intends to investigate what is lost and found during reading texts like Meatless Days by Sara Suleri and Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie when the readers become the translators. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and a thematic analysis was carried out on the qualitative data which found that readers translated code-switching along themes of legitimacy, identity and resistance to western knowledge. It was determined that when readers become translators, they have an unprecedented amount of power to interpret texts.

Translation of literature is the translation of literary art forms such as poetry, novels, dramas, short stories, films etc. The mainstream critiques of translation looked down upon the translation of literature.  Translation of literature is often considered as artificial. However, on the bright side, translation of literature can be seen as a positive phenomenon. It is not just a mechanical task; rather it is a process of new creation. Translation of literature is a work of art. A skilled translator is a gem, who can add many new aspects to the translated literature. This article analyses the translation of Arabic poem and the translation of the story of Ali Baba and forty thieves to explain that the translation of literature is a tool to enrich target language literature.
