Authors: Priyanka Kumari  , Rohit Ranjan
Published: May 2024

Ayurveda, a traditional healthcare system, emphasizes the importance of food and lifestyle in maintaining health and preventing diseases. Classics emphasize "Tryaupstambh" (Aahar, Nidra, Brahmacharya) as crucial factors for daily life, while the Charaka Samhita mentions "Sadvritta" as a code of good conduct for mental and social wellbeing and "Swasthavritta" for maintaining health and personal hygiene. Post- COVID-19 complications include cardiac, pulmonary, systemic, neuropsychiatric, tinnitus, acute kidney damage, renal failure, and thrombotic problems. Aahar or lifestyle is the ultimate medicine for health and prosperity. To promote mental health and prevent illness, living conditions and environments supporting healthy lifestyles are necessary. Regular Yoga and diet can help improve health and reduce the risk of complications. Ayurveda recommends immune-modulator regimes such as a healthy lifestyle, seasonal purification, and daily dietary and behavioural regimens. In this article, an attempt has been made to analyse the various measures and concepts of Aahar and Vihar described in a dispersed manner in different Samhitas will be helpful to manage the post Covid-19 complications and also for speedy recovery without any further complication of disease.

Authors: Mahesh Kumar
Published: May 2024

Ayurveda offers various formulations for different ailments, including Jatyadi oil, a topical medicine commonly used for wounds and ulcers. While it’s local application is well-documented for conditions like sinuses, papules, dermatitis, wounds, ulcers, burns, and abrasions, its oral ingestion is not standard practice due to potential adverse effects. Objective: This report aims to highlight the consequences of inadvertent oral ingestion of Jatyadi oil by a patient. Methods: The case report is based on a real-life incident involving a patient who mistakenly ingested Jatyadi oil. The effects were studied by discussing the matter with the patient and reviewing relevant literature. Conclusion: While medications are meant to heal, incorrect usage can lead to harm. Although accidental oral intake of Jatyadi oil may not be overly concerning, it is crucial to avoid such occurrences. Patients should be properly instructed regarding the correct dose, route, and method of medication intake to prevent such incidents.
Ritu Shodhana - Way to Stay Healthy with special reference to Virechana
Authors: Manjusri  , M. Gautham Shetty
Published: May 2024

Ayurveda is a unique and ancient science of life which considers the Tridoshas vata, Pitta and Kapha as Tristhunas (pillars) of human body. The aim of Ayurveda is to maintain health of a healthy person and treating ailments of the diseased. Timely elimination of increased Doshas by purificatory measures during specified season is known as Ritu shodhana. Sharadiya Virechana i.e., purification therapy in autumn season is best for elimination of Prakupita (aggravated) Pitta dosha. The present review aims to summarize the benefits of Ritu shodhana with special reference to Virechana on health of a person. Materials and Methods: Literature search was carried out through search engines like PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar using keywords like ‘Ritu shodhana’, ‘Virechana’, ‘seasonal regimens’, ‘seasonal variations in India’,’ lifestyle disorders’. Classicals such as Bruhattrayis, Laghuttrayis were also reviewed. The relevant studies were identified and the findings summarized. Result and discussion- Ritu shodhana plays a key role in prevention of diseases. Among Panchakarmas virechana (purgation therapy) is one of the prime purificatory procedures for elimination of Pitta dosha. As the expulsion of Dosha occurs in normal route it is not complicated. Hence it has great promise and requires research in this area.

Authors: Sonia Meend  , Sunil Kumar Yadav  , Bhumica
Published: May 2024

Marma Chikitsa is a gem of Ayurveda, a non-invasive therapy in which a very gentle stimulation of Marma points is done to instigate the flow of Prana which was occluded due to disturbed flow of Vata. To perform this therapy, a particular amount of pressure is to be applied on the specific Marma point. This study is being conducted to assess the pressure pain threshold of value of Marma in healthy individuals. Pressure pain threshold, was measured accordingly by a device called “Pressure Algometer” on Rujakara Marma i.e., Manibandha, Kurchashira and Gulpha for left as well as right side. The pressure was applied by algometer at two sites that is, at the centre point of Marma and other on the periphery of the Marma, within the range of Pramana of Marma (according to the Pramana, as described in the text). Time duration for the procedure on a particular Marma will be from the skin surface contact with algometer till Grade 2 of pain scale (VAS) and the reading of algometer will be recorded for each Rujakara Marma in a particular volunteer. The results are recorded and shared in this article.

Authors: Tosmy Tomy Koovackal  , Mira Krishnan.M  , Yadukrishnan.S
Published: May 2024

Traumatic tympanic membrane perforations are common in Otolaryngological practice. These perforations can be due to direct penetrating trauma, infections or due to eustachian tube disorders. These perforations can lead to reversible high frequency deafness, tinnitus and vertigo. Small perforations heal spontaneously within three months after the injury while large perforations are treated with myringoplasty. This is a case report of 35year old female patient who presented to Shalakya OPD with complaints of sudden onset of earache and reduced clarity of hearing in left ear, since 7 days. The tympanic membrane was ruptured. While compairing the size of perforation relative to circumference of the tympamic membrane, it was observed to be a large sized perforation affecting 50% of tympamic membrane. Large sized perforations are usually considered non healing as it exert influence on the malleus and umbo at tympanic membrane insertion and would interrupt the sound conducting mechanism. She was managed conservatively with Ayurveda treatment. Karnalepa applied over the pre auricular and mastoid region makes the healing fast and effective. Karnapichu, the modified form of karnapoorana provides a much larger skin contact time with controlled release of drugs.The case report shows the effect of local and systemic medication in the form of Murivenna karnapichu. The healing of tympanic membrane occurred within one month of follow up.

They are reviewed for theoretical background, research techniques adopted, the drugs and methods employed for treatment and the parameters chosen for evaluation of the effects of these drugs.
The results show that Ayurveda has both theoretical foundations and empirical evidence of efficacy of Ayurvedic drugs and shows the promise of evolving a polyherbal formulation to address the symptom holistically.
Therapeutic Potential of Minerals Preparations wsr to Raktapitta (Bleeding Disorders)
Authors: Parinita Kaundal
Published: May 2024

Raktapitta is described in the fourth Adhyaya of the Agniveshtantra. The disease has been described after Jwara chikitsa. Acharya Charaka has described Raktapitta as Mahagada and an acute dreadful disease, having more severity and quick acting like fire. As the name suggests- Raktapitta is caused by the vitiation of two body elements i.e., Rakta and Pitta. The main etiology of the disease is said to be the Pitta vardhak ahara, which leads to the vitiation of the Pitta dosha. Since, Rakta dhatu is said to be Samandharma as that of Pitta dosh, vitiation of Pitta leads to the aggravation of Rakta dhatu. This Dhatu, a concept from Ayurveda, is often increased due to its Swapramana. This increase can cause it to move through the external apertures of the body, leading to potentially lethal diseases that require immediate attention. The treatment protocol for such conditions is not a one-size-fits-all. It is primarily based on the affected site, along with other general considerations like Dosha and Bala. This personalized approach is what makes Ayurveda stand out in the realm of holistic health. Treatment often includes nourishment therapy (Brimhana) or attenuation therapy (Langhana). Brimhana therapy focuses on strengthening the body, while Langhana therapy aims to reduce excesses. Langhana therapy can further be divided into purification therapy (Sodhana) and curative therapy (Samana), each with its unique benefits. The article deals with understanding the etiology, symptoms and treatment of the disease and the role of minerals in its management.
A Review of Mineralogical Identification of Ayurvedic Rasa Dravyasa in Modern Context
Authors: Kumar Pankaj  , Dwivedi Prabhat Kumar
Published: May 2024

The metals and mineral drugs in Rasashastra are primarily categorized into different groups such as Maharasa, Uparasa, Sadharanarasa, Dhatu, Sudha, Sikta, and Ratna. These categories describe their origins, acceptable properties, and the various processes involved in making drugs for therapeutic use as well as preparation of noble metals. In ancient times, the identification of raw drugs relied mainly based on sensory factors like color, smell, texture, and taste. However, this data alone is insufficient to establish universal standards for both raw drug identification and the scientific detection of adulteration in finished products. Today, a multitude of modern tools and techniques are available for identifying metals and minerals, such as nature, crystal habit, color, streak, cleavage, fracture, lustre, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), chromatography, tenacity, transparency, magnetism, hardness, specific gravity (density), and fluorescence, chemical assay and markers. Thus, my present study is plan to evaluate and compile different data in term of modern parameters and results as well as Grahya lakschans (acceptable characters) for identifying mineral drugs in Rasa shastra.

Published: May 2024

Rickets is a disorder of growing bone due to abnormal mineralisation of bone. It affects longer bones, leading to poor bone growth and bony deformities such as bow legs and knock-knees in children. No direct description of such disease has been found in Ayurveda; the clinical manifestations due to Asthikshaya (deficient bony tissue) can be considered as rickets. Despite conventional treatment of supplementation of deficient nutrients, many children do not show satisfactory response to the treatment. This is a case report of nutritional rickets in a 3.5-year-old boy who presented with leg pain, cramps and frequent falls due to knocking of knees for the last four months. He was treated with the combined principles of Ayurveda and Yoga. The patient was treated with oral drugs like Ashwagandhadi Churna, Kukkutandatwaka Bhasma, Godanti Bhasma, Muktashukti Bhasma, Lakshadi guggulu, Gandha Tail, Tiktaksheer Basti (medicated enema), Sthanika Snehan-Swedana (local oleation and sudation), Gatravestana (bandaging), knee braces, and practice of Yogasana like Tadasana (standing pose), Vrikshasana (tree pose), Utkatasana (chair pose), and Bhadrasana (butterfly pose). The symptoms were relieved, the biochemical parameters were improved and no further bending of lower limbs was observed. Thus, the patient of nutritional rickets was treated with Ayurveda and Yoga.

CURRÍCULO E PRESSUPOSTOS DECOLONIZADORES NA FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES DE LÍNGUAS DA UEVA
Authors: Figueiredo Lins Júnior José Raymundo
Published: May 2024

Com base nas experiências enfrentadas pelos professores da Educação Básica, durante a pandemia do coronavírus SARS-COV-19, o objetivo deste artigo é discutir o papel do curso de Letras da Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú (UEVA) no que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento de multiletramentos na formação inicial dos futuros professores de línguas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza interpretativista, que parte da análise do Projeto Pedagógico de Curso (PPC), a fim de identificar novas inserções do conceito no documento que prescreve as práticas formativas do/no curso. Os dados foram interpretados à luz da análise do discurso crítica (FAIRCLOUGH, 1992; 2003) e do conceito de decolonialidade (SANTOS, 2009), necessário para repensar a educação brasileira nesse novo contexto mundial. Como resultado, percebemos que ainda há uma forte influência de concepções não-dialógicas no ensino brasileiro, independentemente do nível, e que a formação de professores acaba sendo menos influenciada pelos discursos da prescrição – que tende a apresentar-se mais progressista – do que pelos conteúdos abordados ou pelas práticas docentes realizadas. Por fim, este estudo atualiza ou reforça, ainda, achados de pesquisas anteriores desenvolvidas no mesmo curso (LINS JR., 2019; LINS JR.; MORAES, 2022; 2023).

Formation of biometric parameters of sowings of soybean variety ‘Sirelia’ on typical chernozems depending on the nutrition area
Authors: Lemeshyk A. V. , Novytska N. V.
Published: May 2024

Purpose. To determine the effect of row width and seeding rate on the biometric parameters of sowings of the early-ripening soybean variety 'Sirelia'.
Methods. The research was carried out in 2021–2023 in the stationary crop rotation of the Plant Breeding Department in the fields of the Agronomic Research Station of the National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine (Pshenychne, Vasylkiv district, Kyiv region). Scheme of the experiment: factor A – sowing method: ordinary row with a row spacing of 19 cm; strip with a row spacing of 19 × 38 × 12 cm; wide-row with a row spacing of 38 cm; factor B – seeding rate: 450, 600 and 750 thousand seeds/ha. Recordings were carried out in the main phases of crop development: budding, flowering and grain filling.
Results. The thickening of crops with an increase in the seeding rate from 450 to 750 thousand seeds/ha contributed to a significant increase in the height of soybean plants: by 3.5 cm for row spacings of 19 cm and by 5.9 cm for row spacing of 38 cm. Seeding rate of 450,000 seeds/ha led to a decrease in plant height by 4.1 cm, or 5.2%. Thus, from the given data it can be concluded that the height of soybean plants increased with an increase in the seeding rate. The influence of the sowing rate on the growth of plants at a row width of 38 cm was particularly significant. The absolute dry mass of plants in the budding phase was within the range of 2.87–4.00 g, in the flowering stage 4.81–6.93 g, and in the seed filling stage 11.6–21.5 g. During the last period, the mass of plants in the case of increasing the seeding rate from 450 to 750 thousand seeds/ha decreased by 8.9 g, for a row spacing of 19 cm, and for a row spacing 38 cm by 7.3 g. The highest mass of plants was for the row width of 38 cm and the sowing rate of 450,000 seeds/ha.
Conclusions. The height of soybean plants increases with an increase in the seeding rate. This is explained by the fact that the thickening of crops causes shading and elongation of plants. Soybean plants were the highest (81.9 cm) at a row spacing of 38 cm and a seeding rate of 750,000 seeds/ha. The highest absolute dry weight of one soybean plant was formed at a seeding rate of 450,000 seeds/ha, and significantly decreases in case of its increase to 750 thousand seeds/ha for all methods of sowing. That is, the thickening of crops with an increase in the seeding rate from 450 to 750 thousand units/ha led to a significant decrease in the dry weight of plants, which is explained by the deterioration of the conditions for their growth and development, primarily due to high competition for life factors.

Published: May 2024

The position of English in Indonesia as a foreign language requires teachers to be more creative in using the right approach in teaching EFL classes. One approach teachers widely apply is the CTL approach because it is considered by them to combine the four skills in English, namely listening, speaking, and reading. and writing. However, the application of the CLT approach depends more or less on the character of the class being taught and is influenced by several factors, including the geographical location of an area where Sebatik Island is geographically located on the border of Indonesia and Malaysia. It makes the application of the CLT approach may be different from other areas find borders with other countries. This research aims to qualitatively describe the implementation of the CLT approach in the classroom by English teachers on Sebatik Island and the challenges they face in implementing it. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection methods were collected through observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and triangulation involving four respondents from several junior high schools on Sebatik Island. The data collected was then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model consisting of three activity streams that co-occurred: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. From the data analysis using the model, the geographical location of Sebatik Island, which directly borders Malaysia, positively contributes to students' communication skills. However, the implementation of the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach by teachers on Sebatik Island is not free from several challenges, namely the lack of understanding among some teachers regarding the importance of this approach in learning English, the provision of supporting facilities, support from various parties including school principals and Government Agencies Education, as well as the political dynamics in the regions, which tend to be unproductive in developing teacher competency.

In the period 2001 – 2022, Chinese base metal products became the commodity with the most reported cases in antidumping investigations carried out by the EU at the WTO. However, in the same period, the value of imports of basic metal products to the European Union was lower compared to the value of imports of other products such as electricity & equipment as well as machine products, nuclear reactors and boilers. This article aims to explain the reasons behind the European Union's stance in making Chinese base metal products the most common commodity in antidumping investigation reports at the WTO. This article uses Alan Bryman's qualitative method, and the neoclassical realism theory proposed by Gideon Rose to analyze European Union policy towards Chinese Base Metal Products. The application of systemic pressure variables in neoclassical realism theory influences the European Union's position in the international system as an external factor, while there are other variables, in this case internal factors, which also influence the European Union's strategic trade policy-making process through the European Commission. The findings of this article show that China's dominance in world metals consumption and production since the early 2000s, especially in the 2013 – 2017 period, triggered the European Commission's perception that the European base metals industry was experiencing a decline in competitiveness and needed protection. In the 2013-2017 period, China's contribution to the world base metals market increased by 13% compared to 8% in the previous decade. On the other hand, the European Commission has maximized its influence in mobilizing national forces as outlined in the resolution document 2017/C399/12 to build a sustainable base metals industry. The European Union's trade policy in making Chinese base metal products the highest case report in antidumping investigations at the WTO over the last two decades, was driven by the European Commission, as the trade policy formulation unit in the European Union, to respond to systemic challenges in the global base metals market.

This study aims to examine the tendency of bi-vocational pastors' implementation based on Matthew 6:24 among the ministers of the Jakarta Pentecostal Church; examine what dimensions are most dominant in bi-vocational pastors based on Matthew 6:24 among the ministers of the Jakarta Pentecostal Church; and discover what backgrounds are most dominant in dual-profession pastors based on Matthew 6:24 among the ministers of the Jakarta Pentecostal Church.
The research methodology used is quantitative method with data collection through a survey of 126 ministers of the Pentecostal Church of God in the Jakarta area. The approach used is the explanatory-confirmatory approach, which explains the relationship between the variables studied and tests them, then examines and identifies several variables to confirm existing findings through hypothesis testing.
There are three hypotheses proposed in this study, namely: First, it is suspected that the tendency of the imlementation of bi-vocational pastors based on Matthew 6:24 among the ministers of the Jakarta Pentecostal Church is in the moderate category.
Second, it is suspected that the dominant dimension of bi-vocational pastors based on Matthew 6:24 among the ministers of the Jakarta Regional Pentecostal Church is love. Third, it is suspected that the dominant background of bi-vocational pastors based on Matthew 6:24 among Pentecostal Church of God ministers in the Jakarta area is the last education.
From the results of the research analysis through statistical tests using the SPSS application, it was found that the tendency of the implementation of bi-vocational pastors based on Matthew 6:24 among the ministers of the Pentecostal Church in the Jakarta area is moderate, thus the first hypothesis is proven; the dominant dimension in the implementation of bi-vocational pastors is devotion to the master, thus the second hypothesis is not proven; and the dominant background in the implementation of exemplary ministers is the length of service, thus the third hypothesis is not proven.
Based on the research findings, the implications of this study are: the tendency of the implementation of Bi-vocational pastors based on Matthew 6:24 among the ministers of the Jakarta Pentecostal Church can still increase through programmes and the length of time pastors and ministers serve. Because the dominant background in the implementation of bi-vocational pastors based on Matthew 6:24 is the length of time pastors and ministers have served.

Relationship between Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intentions among Nurses in South America
Authors: Silva Lucas
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions among nurses in South America
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: Studies in South America indicate that job satisfaction among nurses is inversely related to their turnover intentions. Nurses who report higher job satisfaction tend to have lower turnover intentions. Factors such as supportive work environments, professional growth opportunities, and recognition contribute to job satisfaction, while heavy workloads and inadequate staffing elevate turnover intentions. Addressing these concerns is vital for healthcare organizations in South America to retain nursing staff and ensure quality patient care.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Job characteristics theory, social exchange theory & expectancy theory may be used to anchor future studies on the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions among nurses in South America. Encouraging participatory decision-making, providing avenues for feedback, and offering resources for stress management can contribute to a positive work environment conducive to job satisfaction and retention among nurses. Advocate for policy changes at institutional and governmental levels to address systemic issues impacting nurse job satisfaction and turnover intentions
