Authors: S Sharma
Published: January 2024

Amavata is most common disorder affecting the general population. Now a days, people have adopted unhealthy life style eating junk and doing vigorous exercise just after eating. In Ayurveda the causes of Amavata are Virudhha Ahara-Chesta, Mandagni, Nishchalata and doing Vyayama immediately after Snigdha Bhojana. The clinical presentation of Pravridhha Amavata closely resembles the Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is most common inflammatory arthritis and is major cause of disability. In Ayurveda various Deepana-Pachana, Aushadhis Sewana, Panchkarma therapies (Shushka Sweda, Virechana, Basti and Lepa) are mentioned in the treatment of Amavata. Shatpushpadi Lepa is one of the polyherbal compound mentioned by Acharaya Yogaratnakara in the management of Amavata. Almost all the ingredients of Shatpushpadi Lepa are having anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. So, Lepa by its local application can combat the pathology in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Authors: HDT Madhuranga
Published: January 2024

The study of antioxidants and their implications in numerous sectors, from food engineering to medicine and pharmacy, is of great interest to the scientific community. The presence of free radicals in the body has been linked to various human diseases. Fortunately, antioxidants can counteract these harmful molecules and reduce their negative impact. This highlights the importance of researching natural antioxidants found in plants. Free radicals are closely tied to the development of conditions like diabetes, cancer, and heart and neurological disorders. Exploring plants could lead to the discovery of new bioactive compounds with strong antioxidant properties. Natural resources, particularly herbs, have played a significant role in traditional medicine, benefiting the development of modern medical treatments. Throughout history, plants have been a valuable source of healing remedies. However, no scientific attempt has been made to verify the spontaneous uses claimed in the literature. As a result, to perform more studies and collect more data, scientists need to find low-cost, simple in vitro approaches to test the efficacy of natural anti-oxidant substances. On such background, this methodology focuses on providing the three basic antioxidant assays previously utilized by the researchers to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of herbs, plants, etc. By providing these clear methodologies, young scientists and new scholars can get a brief idea of the antioxidant assays and then which can be utilized productively. Therefore, the current paper gives a detailed overview of the most important tests used to quantify antioxidant activity. Three key antioxidant assays are highlighted here: the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-hydrate) assay, the FRAP (Ferric reducing antioxidant power) assay, and the H2 O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide free radical scavenging activity assay) and dependable with minor alterations.
A Comparative Approach Based on Molecular Docking Interaction of Citalopram and Tianeptine with Serotonin Transporter
Authors: A Iffat
Published: January 2024

The present study elucidated the relationship between the mechanism of action of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI, citalopram) and selective serotonin reuptake enhancer (SSRE, Tianeptine) by comparing their effects using molecular docking in silico. We demonstrated the binding of antidepressants to the crystal structure of the serotonin transporter protein (PDB ID; 6w2c). Molecular docking was done with the help of simultaneous multiple ligands docking using AutoDock Vina. The binding affinity of the compounds was determined by the length of the hydrogen bond, binding energy, and amino acid residue clusters. The whole chain of amino acids in the allosteric (S2) and substrate binding (S1) site cavities of SERT were analyzed using prankweb. Tianeptine was found to be the most effective ligand with the binding affinity Δ -9.0 kcal/mol > citalopram Δ -8.9 Kcal/mol > serotonin -6.8 kcal/mol. It is concluded that tianeptine exhibits strong binding affinity and stability to SERT compared to citalopram. Further, computational data strongly manifest the mode of action of the atypical antidepressant tianeptine that helps restore normal serotonergic neurotransmission.

Menstruation is an everyday organic process known to individuals as being female at the beginning, but it is an affair that has been underrepresented in the circumstances of neuro diversity, specifically within the autistic society. This study explores the occurrences and challenges confronted by autistic people in directing their menstrual cycles. Through concerning qualities, not quantities, interviews, and surveys, we composed dossiers from a variety of autistic shareholders, aiming to clear up their singular outlooks on period. The findings of our study imply that many autistic people encounter important troubles during their menstrual eras that can infuriate the challenges that guide their daily lives. These challenges are versatile and involve sensual feelings, troubles in communication, and executive functioning issues. Participants repeatedly stated profound tactile sensitivities superior to raised discomfort and olfactory encumber during periods. Additionally, ideas and challenges preclude their ability to seek support and express their needs efficiently. In answer to these challenges, partners join a variety of management actions, stressing the significance of routine, visual virus, and aural boardinghouse to help bureaucracy better navigate their menstrual periods. They again stressed the need for increased knowledge and support within the autistic community and with healthcare professionals. This study climaxes on the significance of recognizing the crossroads of autism and period, contributing understanding to the experiences and needs of autistic people, and this unrefined organic process. Promoting inclusive, patient focused care and support tailor made to the particular challenges met by autistic people during their period is important. Further research and instruction in this field are essential to advance the features of the history and health of autistic individuals and guarantee their singular needs are discussed, accompanied by empathy and understanding

RELEVANCE. It is known that patients with severe cases of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) are characterized by the development of COVID-19-associated dysautonomia (COVID-19-DA). At the moment, there are no studies examining the impact of this phenomenon on the course and outcomes of the disease in the most severe cohort of patients with COVID-19, namely those requiring venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO).

  AIM OF STUDY. The purpose of the presented work is to study the effect of different COVID-19-DA phenotypes on the performance parameters and effectiveness of VV ECMO, gas exchange and hemodynamics in patients with COVID-19.

   MATERIAL AND METHODS. The study included 20 patients, 12 (60%) women, 8 (40%) men, with COVID-19 who underwent VV ECMO. Patients underwent 24-hour Holter monitoring with assessment of the spectral parameters of heart rate variability (HRV): the low-frequency component (LF), the high-frequency component (HF), the ratio of the low-frequency component to the high frequency component (LF / HF) on days 1, 3, 5 of the VV ECMO. Patients were divided into three groups based on the identified COVID-19-DA phenotypes. The groups were compared in terms of gas exchange, hemodynamics, and VV ECMO performance parameters.

   RESULTS. The level of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (paCO2) in the phenotype with low sympathetic tone and high tone of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) (lShP) was significantly higher than in the phenotype with normal sympathetic tone and high tone of the parasympathetic division of the ANS (nShP) with equal VV ECMO performance parameters. The heart rate (HR) in the nShP phenotype was significantly lower than in the lShP phenotype. A significant increase in respiratory dysfunction was revealed over time in the lShP phenotype. Weaning from VV ECMO in the nShP phenotype was successful in 50 %, whereas in the lShP phenotype, weaning from VV ECMO was observed in 7,2 % of patients. No significant differences in the mortality rate were obtained. The most common cause of death in both groups was septic shock.

   CONCLUSIONS. The COVID-19-DA phenotype, manifested by decreased tone of the sympathetic division and increased tone of the parasympathetic division of the ANS, leads to low efficiency of VV ECMO, resulting in a statistically significantly less frequent ECMO discontinuation in those patients.

Two clinical observations of effective treatment of patients with critical ischemia of the lower extremities using plasma-free lysate autologous platelets. Both patients were male, 73 and 53 years old. Both were diagnosed with total damage to the arteries of the infrainguinal zone. One of them had previously undergone endarterectomy from the femoral artery with subsequent thrombosis. After examination and joint discussion with x-ray endovascular surgeons, they were found inoperable. Due to the ineffectiveness of standard conservative therapy, the patient was offered local administration of plasma-free lysate autologous platelets. After receiving written informed consent, the procedure for collecting venous blood and obtaining plasma-free lysate autologous platelets and the introduction of this drug into the muscles of the leg from the side of ischemia according to the original method. The method for assessing microcirculation was three-phase scintigraphy : before treatment, both patients showed a significant decrease in the inclusion of osteotropic radiopharmaceutical in the soft tissues of the legs. For areas of radiopharmaceutical hyperfixation, relative accumulation coefficients were calculated: for one patient, the calculation results demonstrated the formation of foci of aseptic necrosis. When patients were re-hospitalized after 6 months, there was an improvement in local status and relief of rest pain. According to scintigraphy, a significant improvement in microcirculation was noted; no foci of aseptic necrosis were identified. Thus,  the use of plasma-free lysate autologous platelets in combination with complex conservative therapy has demonstrated positive results; this method can be considered as an alternative revascularization ischemic limb.

Introduction: Architecture is a discipline distinguished through diversity, message transmission, and communication. Purpose of the study: A notable phenomenon has been noticed in Erbil: most of the units in the typical housing complexes started to redesign or change the facade characteristics. These changes were the result of the psychological trait of aesthetic preference. This study aims to analyze aesthetic preference parameters to identify communicative action using the Habermas model of communicative action. The analysis of the effective factors contributed to the understanding of these changes. Methods: The methodology of this study combines case study formal analysis and a proper questionnaire survey. A statistical analysis of the obtained results was used to formulate research objectives. Results: Five parameters derived from the theoretical framework (unity, scale, color, proportion, and balance) serve as elements and principles of design that affect the aesthetics. As a result, the study concludes that unity, proportion, and balance are the main factors to create a pleasing aesthetic appearance on the house facades.

Introduction: The building industry is under increasing pressure to maximize performance while reducing the costs and the environmental impact. To solve this problem, a new type of materials, i.e., functionally graded materials (FGMs), are proposed. These materials have the advantage of being able to withstand harsh environments without losing their properties. Purpose of the study: The paper aims to further extend the understanding of the propagation modes and characteristics of guided waves in FGM cylinders with infinite lengths. In the course of the study, we analyzed a cylindrical shell composed of three annular layers, each separated by a gradient layer across the wall thickness. A modeling tool based on the Legendre orthogonal polynomial method is proposed in the paper. Methods: The method applied results in an eigenvalue/eigenvector problem. The boundary conditions are integrated into the constitutive equations of guided wave propagation. The phase velocity and normalized frequency dispersion curves are calculated. Besides, the displacement distributions and stress field profiles for a functionally graded cylinder with various graded indices in both modes (axisymmetric and symmetric) are calculated and discussed. The results show a constant fluctuation of effective FGM material. Results: It was found that the phase velocity curves of the same mode decrease as the exponents of the power law increase. In addition, the boundary conditions have a greater impact on the normal stresses. The accuracy and effectiveness of the improved orthogonal polynomial method are demonstrated through a comparison of the exact solution obtained by an analytical-numerical method and our numerical results.

Introduction: This study is part of research aimed at valorizing dredged sediments through the development of formulations for use in road engineering. The purpose of the study was to determine if the materials selected for pavement layers comply with road design standards, in particular, with specific requirements for density, grain size, plastic properties, organic matter, and mechanical performance. Methods: To determine the physical-chemical and mechanical characteristics of the dredged sediments obtained from samples taken from the Bakhadda dam located in western Algeria’s semi-arid climate, the sediments were treated with binders in small amounts (3% lime (L), 6% cement (C)) for reuse in road construction. The study focused on the evolution of physical and mechanical characteristics of the treated sediments, including LL, PI, VBS, immediate bearing index (IBI%), UCS, tensile strength Ϭt, as well as small strain modulus ESS and large strain modulus E50. The results showed that adding lime and cement to the dredged sediments improved their strength, as evidenced by the increased compressive strength (UCS) over time for the samples containing different amounts of binders (3%L, 6%C, and 3%L + 6%C). Additionally, the effect of the water content on the mechanical properties of the formulations was demonstrated. The study showed that the strength increased when the water content decreased.

Judita v Biblii a staroanglickej básni
Authors: Kubuš Martin
Published: January 2024

The article deals with the deuterocanonical Book of Judith which was famously rendered from Aramaic into Latin by the patron of all translators, Saint Jerome (c. 345 – 420) virtually overnight and included in his translation of the Bible known as the Vulgate. More specifically, the article focuses on the text’s rendition into Anglo-Saxon by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon poet whose text is often anthologized and poses part of university curricula. The only extant original manuscript of the Anglo-Saxon Judith is found on the famous Beowulf manuscript, partially damaged during the infamous fire of 1731 which decimated Robert Bruce Cotton’s (1571 – 1631) private collection of historical manuscripts, charters, rolls and seals. (1) Using the comparative method, the author of the paper takes an observant look at the Modern-English translation of Judith by the contemporary British literary scholar Elaine Treharne, and compares it with the deuterocanonical Book of Judith as found in the Slovak Catholic version of the Bible (Sväté písmo Starého i Nového zákona). The main objective of the proposed paper is to find out how the Book of Judith was altered to accommodate to the Anglo-Saxon readership. In the text, the author coins new terminology – primary and secondary elements of inculturation and lists examples of them as found in the Anglo-Saxon version of Judith. Thus, the Anglo-Saxon version of the Book of Judith cannot be considered a translation proper, but an inculturational adaptation. As part of his research, the author of the article produces his own second-hand translation of the Anglo-Saxon Judith from (modern) English into Slovak for the sake of Slovak readership.
In Search of the Russian Idea (From the Novel "Generation P" to Import Substitution)
Authors: Lizoň Martin
Published: January 2024

The article deals with the literary interpretation of translation/adaptation of advertising texts, a process that took place intensively in Russia in the 1990s. The object of the study is Victor Pelevin's cult work – the novel Generation P. The advertising texts in Pelevin's novel are analysed considering the actual context in which the opposite process is taking place (at least declaratively), i.e., the replacement of foreign production by domestic production. Such process, like the one described by Pelevin, is accompanied by the production of texts that are, in fact, translations/adaptations of Western texts (names, advertising slogans, etc.) or new texts created for "Russian" surrogates of foreign goods or brands. Both processes are typified by the imposition of a certain material culture (consumer goods), the endeavour to adapt media texts to the requirements of the customer and the target group (the Russian consumer), which is also manifested in the search for the so-called "Russian idea" or "Russian soul". The article attempts to prove that in V. Pelevin's novel, this process is presented as a post-industrial one. Pelevin's novel presents this process as a postmodernist game, mockery, intentional irony, exposing the existing cultural clichés and stereotypical perceptions of Russians about themselves. Pelevin implies that comicality of the import substitution industrialisation (ISI) taking place today indicates a failure of this process and inadvertently points out the actual absence of the so-called "Russian idea". Reception of Victor Pelevin's novel through the lens of contemporary events in Russia allows us not only to look at Pelevin’s text from a new perspective, but also to see the ongoing processes in a broader historical and cultural context.

ABSTRAK

Pendahuluan: Craniotomy adalah prosedur operasi untuk membuka bagian tengkorak (cranium) dengan tujuan memperbaiki dan mengetahui kerusakan yang ada di otak.  Tindakan ini dilakukan karena adanya tumor otak, hematoma, trauma ataupun infeksi pada otak. Kondisi ini bisa menimbulkan probematik fisioterapi akibat tirah baring yang lama, diantaranya penurunan lingkup gerak sendi, atrofi, gangguan pernafasan, penurunan kemampuan fungsional, dan produksi sputum atau dahak berlebihan. Manajemen fisioterapi yang diberikan kepada pasien post craniotomy yang mengalami retensi sputum adalah chest fisioterapi, yaitu Deep Breathing Exercise, tapotement, vibration. Tujuannya untuk meningkatkan respirasi dan mengeluarkan sputum yang ada di dalam paru-paru akibat tirah baring. Intervensi lain yang diberikan yaitu pasif exercise yang dilakukan dengan tujuan mencegah terjadinya perlengketan jaringan dan memelihara elastisitas otot.

Tujuan: untuk mengetahui efektifitas chest fisioterapi, yaitu Deep Breathing Exercise, tapotement, vibration untuk mengurangi sesak napas dan mengeluarkan sputum pada pasien post craniotomy. Metode Penelitian : Studi yang dilakukan saat ini menggunakan single-subject research dengan pendekatan desain ABA. Hasil : adanya penurunan sesak napas yang diukur dengan borg scale dan adanya peningkatan kemampuan fungsional. Kesimpulan : Berdasarkan hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa chest fisioterapi ( deep breathing exercise, tapotement, vibration) efektif dalam mengurangi sesak napas  dan mengeluarkan sputum pada pasien dengan kondisi post craniotomy.

Authors: Randa Meybi , Wijianto Wijianto , Susilo Ridwan Andi
Published: January 2024

Pendahuluan: Subarterial doubly committed (SADC) merupakan subtipe VSD yang dikenal sebagai tipe VSD infundibular yang terletak di bawah katup semilunar (aorta dan pulmonal) di septum outlet ventrikel kanan diatas crista supraventricularis. Jenis VSD ini pada populasi Asia menyumbang sekitar 30% dibandingkan dengan populasi Barat (5-10%). Kelainan ini menyebabkan tidak mampunya katup menutup secara spontan dan prolaps katup aorta, serta regurgitasi aorta (AR) yang diperkirakan melebihi 40% akibat tidak adanya septum infundibular. Metode: Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah case report dengan identitas seorang pria berusia 24 tahun terdiagnosa subarterial doubly committed pasca operasi VSD closure atau penutupan katup jantung yang akan mengikuti program rehabilitasi jantung di RSUD Moewardi Surakarta dengan jenis latihan aerobic sebanyak 3 kali pertemuan dan keluhan pasien sekarang adalah mudah lelah, serta intoleransi aktivitas. Hasil: Latihan pertama diperoleh METS 9,131 atau VO2Max 31,960, latihan kedua diperoleh METS 8,90 atau VO2Max 31,151 dan latihan ketiga 7,65 METS. Simpulan: Adanya pengaruh latihan aerobic terhadap proses penyembuhan pasca operasi VSD closure, tetapi terjadi penurunan kapasitas aerobic akibat latihan home program yang jarang dilakukan pasien.

 

Introduction: Subarterial double committed (SADC) is a subtype of VSD known as the infundibular VSD type which is located below the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary) in the right ventilation outlet septum above the supraventricular crista. This type of VSD in the Asian population accounts for about 30% compared to the Western population (5-10%). This condition causes the inability of the valve to close spontaneously and prolapse of the aortic valve, as well as aortic regurgitation (AR) which is estimated to exceed 40% due to the absence of an infundibular septum. Methods: The research method used was a case report with the identity of a 24-year-old man diagnosed with subarterial double commit after VSD closure surgery or heart valve closure who was going to take part in a cardiac rehabilitation program at the regional public hospital Moewardi Surakarta with a type of aerobic exercise for 3 meetings and the patient's complaints are now easily tired and activity intolerance. Results: The first exercise obtained METS 9.131 or VO2Max 31.960, the second exercise obtained METS 8.90 or VO2Max 31.151 and the third exercise 7.65 METS. Conclusion: There is an effect of aerobic exercise on the healing process after VSD closure surgery, but there is a decrease in aerobic capacity due to exercise programs at home which patients rarely do.
Philosophical Foundations of I.Ch. Ozerov’s Views
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Gorban Anastasiya A.
Published: January 2024

The subject of the article is the analysis of the philosophical foundations of the economic views of a major pre-revolutionary and Soviet economist Ivan Khristoforovich Ozerov (1869–1942). In the course of the study it is noted that Ozerov’s economic views are methodologically similar to state socialism. At the same time, the au-thor draws attention to the fact that in Ozerov’s scientific and journalistic works a significant part is occupied by the consideration of social development through the prism of institutions, which allows us to talk about the for-mation of methodological foundations of institutionalism in Russia in parallel with the West. It is noted that de-spite the material orientation of his activities, Ozerov also paid attention to the spiritual world. He has three jour-nalistic works to his credit, in which the economist’s idealistic perception of reality is manifested. In the course of the study, the author concludes that the main philosophical basis of Ozerov’s economic views can be con-sidered idealistic materialism.
Philosophical Reflexion as an Ontological Givenness and Its Role in Modern Practice
Authors:   Surgut State University, Yeskina Svetlana A.
Published: January 2024

This paper touches upon the issue of philosophical reflexion as one of the leading themes in modern ontology, epistemology and praxiology. In the center of scientific and research attention is the phenomenon of philosoph-ical reflexion, its origins in ancient science, its further study in the works of P. de Chardin, thinkers of the classi-cal school and representatives of analytical philosophy. The authors have identified the ontological bases of the phenomenon under consideration: the focus on cognition and the purpose of this kind of activity, the need for self-analysis and self-knowledge, and the formation of a holistic and critical worldview. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that reflexion and philosophical reflexion have a number of similar features: thus, the former is characterized as a generalized representation with an emotional and value component, and the latter as a form of human intellectual activity aimed at self-reflection and self-knowledge. As a practical example of reflexion actualization, the authors turned to the pedagogical sphere, which reflects the interaction between teachers and students in order to improve the quality and level of the educational process on the part of its active subjects.
Opportunities and Barriers to the Development of Foreign Economic Activity in the Region
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Grigoryev Vladimir N.
Published: January 2024

This article discusses approaches to determining the barriers and advantages of the region in the development of foreign economic activity, which are seen in institutional, geographical, economic and network aspects. A classification of approaches in determining the development of foreign economic activity in the region is pro-posed, which consists in considering the factors of export activity in various aspects. The classification general-izes institutional, economic-geographical, and competitive approaches. Depending on the previous develop-ment, the main factors of the region’s foreign economic activity development are economic and geographical position, competitive advantages and the degree of interregional interaction. Based on the classification, a structural methodology for determining the potential for increasing the competitiveness of the regional system in the foreign market is proposed. Increasing interregional interaction is seen as one of the tools to improve the efficiency of non-resource and non-energy exports, achieved through synergy effect.

Published: January 2024

Exploring the path to transforming the energy economy is directly relevant to achieving the double carbon goal, as the energy sector is a major source of carbon emissions. Studying this problem during the 14th Five-Year Plan period is particularly important, as the inclusion of this goal in the official plans of the state can stimulate the implementation of specific measures and programs to transform the country’s energy economy, which is essential for combating climate change and achieving sustainable development. The article delves into the peculiarities of the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan in the context of China's transition to an innovative energy economy. In the course of the study the interrelation between the goals of “double carbon” and sustain-able development of the country’s economy is outlined. Particular attention is paid to the problems of imple-menting “green initiatives”. Recommendations aimed at stimulating the achievement of the goals of the 14th Five-Year Plan in the field of combating climate change and improving the energy efficiency of China’s econ-omy are also formulated.
