Ayurved advocates that drug should be collected with proper classical methods. In Ayurvedic texts, specific time, season and procedures or methods have been highlighted for getting better potency, efficacy and therapeutic properties of drug by describing the standard methods of drug collection and preservation in details. Now a day, due to lack of proper traditional knowledge and time very few people bother to follow all these methods of collection given by Acharya. Hence, the potency of medicines is of question. Aragvadha (Cassia fistula Linn.) has been popular as a common drug of choice treatment since ancient time. Classic text like Charaka Samhita has quoted the classical and particular method for the collection and preservation of Aragvadha Phalamajja (Cassia fistula Linn.). Acharya Charaka has quoted this collection method of Aragvadha Phalamajja(Cassia fistula Linn.)as follows- The good qualities of collected pods should be kept covered in river bed sand for seven days. After seven days these pods should be removed and kept in sunlight for some time. And thereafter, fruit pulp (phalamajja) should be extracted and stored in a clean vessel. Therefore, study of classically collected Aragvadha Phalamajja (Cassia fistula Linn.) and Market sample of Aragvadha Phalamajja (Cassia fistula Linn.) was carried out.

Published: December 2021

With this study, we aim to determine the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the return volatility of the DJI, the DAX, the FTSE100 and the CAC40 stock indexes. We take return volatility between 1st January 2019 and 17th July 2020 and split it into two separate periods - before the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak and the first wave of the ‘In-Pandemic’ period. Only the so-called first wave of the pandemic was chosen to avoid the influence of knowledge of possible vaccines and antiviral solutions. Data were analysed by using the exponential GARCH (EGARCH) model. Findings show excessive volatility in the major stock markets with short volatility persistence and the presence of leverage in returns during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. Moreover, during the pandemic period, positive shocks have been observed to have a greater effect than negative socks on the stock index return volatility.

Authors: Gutiérrez-Barroso Josué , Báez-García Alberto Javier , Flores-Muñoz Francisco , Valentinetti Diego
Published: December 2021

This study focuses on the use of Instagram by tourism companies. Specifically, it aims to analyze how Instagram empowers individuals over corporations in the digital dialogue, thus balancing the information asymmetry between corporations and stakeholders. Four categories of metrics have been collected to analyze the use of Instagram by companies: presence, impact, conversation, and influence. Additionally, OLS regressions have been performed to identify potential explanatory factors to explain the different behavior of each firm and its corresponding communities. While the use of Instagram by the selected firms is still scarce, significant results are as follows: corporations are using Instagram as an additional channel in their current communication; some explanatory factors account for significant differences in countries, size, and industries; and users are somehow reactive to the stream of pictures and texts disclosed by firms. The presence and impact of companies on Instagram are a highly important source for driving stakeholders’ conversation within the digital arena.
Comparative audit of induction of labour at Furness General Hospital
Authors: Ghani R , Said MR , Hussein IY , Teague BE , Stewart E
Published: December 2021

Induction of labour (IOL) is the artificial initiation of uterine contraction prior to their spontaneou onset, leading to progressive dilatation, effacement of the cervix and delivery of the baby. The purpose of induction is to achieve benefit to the health of the mother and/or baby, greater than if the pregnancy continued. In recent years, the major fetal and maternal indications for IOL have not altered greatly. They still include prolonged pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, dysmaturity, antepartum haemorrhage, gross fetal abnormality, rhesus incompatibility, diabetes mellitus and fetal death in utero. In the UK the commonest indication is prolonged pregnancy. In addition, IOL is often performed now for cumulative indications, any of which if considered in isolation would probably constitute an insufficient reason: for example, increasing maternal age, previous infertility, poor obstetric history. Whatever the indication for induction it is essential that gestational age is calculated accurately. The rate of induction varies widely in different unit , and between individual obstetricians within the same unit.

Gelişmekte olan teknolojiler ve yenilikler tarih boyunca üretim yaklaşımlarına ve felsefelerine yeni soluklar getirmiştir. Endüstri 4.0 ve bünyesinde barındırdığı teknolojiler de son yıllarda daha hızlı, daha esnek, daha kaliteli ve daha verimli üretim ekosistemleri yaratmayı amaçlayan organizasyonların gündemini meşgul etmektedir. Bununla birlikte, artan endüstriyel faaliyetler neticesinde ortaya çıkan ekolojik bozulmalar, iklim değişikliği, biyolojik çeşitliliğin azalması ve yenilenemeyen enerji kaynaklarının kullanımından ortaya çıkan çevresel sorunlara insan merkezli ve ekonomik çözümler yaratma isteği sürdürülebilirlik kavramına olan ilgiyi de artırmıştır. Günümüz küresel ortamında, Endüstri 4.0 ve bünyesinde barındırdığı teknolojilere artan ilgiye rağmen, bu üretim paradigmasının sürdürülebilirliğin çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal boyutlarını bütünüyle dâhil ettiği kavramsal ve uygulanabilirlik çerçevelerinde yapılan çalışmalara yönelik eksiklikler bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında Endüstri 4.0 bünyesindeki otonom robotların sürdürülebilirliğin çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal boyutlarına yaptığı katkılar bütünsel bir bakış açısıyla değerlendirilecektir. Bu amaçla, çalışmanın çatısını oluşturan Endüstri 4.0, Otonom Robotlar ve Sürdürülebilirlik anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak ilgili yazın taraması yapılmış ve web tabanlı veri görselleştirme aracı kullanılarak bu kavramlar çerçevesinde bir etiket bulutu oluşturulmuştur. İlgili yazın taraması sonucunda otonom robotlar kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirilerek çevresel, sosyal ve ekonomik sürdürülebilirlik boyutları üzerindeki etkileri ortaya konmuştur. Etiket bulutu verilerinin analizinde ise ekonomik, sosyal, çevresel sürdürebilirlik optimizasyon, standardizasyon, üretim, esneklik, özerklik, enerji, performans, inovasyon, etkinlik, işbirlikçilik, verimlilik, hassasiyet, yönetim gibi kavramların ön plana çıktığı belirlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda sürdürülebilir üretim ekosistemi yaratmada otonom robotların yeri, önemi ve etkilerinin neler olacağı konusunda çalışmanın hem ilgili yazına katkı sağlayacağı hem de organizasyonlara yol gösterici nitelikte olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: December 2021

Background: This study investigates the predictive value of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), which was calculated as platelet × neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, for all-cause mortality in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Methods: A total of 360 HCM patients were enrolled. They were divided into three groups based on the tertiles of baseline SII. The association between SII and all-cause mortality was analyzed.

Results: There were 53 HCM patients who died during a mean follow-up time of 4.8 years (min: 6 days and max: 10.8 years), and the mortality rate was 3.0 per 100 person years. The cumulative mortality rate was significantly different among the three tertiles of SII (P = 0.004), and the mortality rate in tertile 3 was much higher than that in the first two tertiles. In reference to tertile 1, the fully adjusted hazard ratios of all-cause mortality were 1.02 for the tertile 2 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.45–2.31, P = 0.966) and 2.31 for tertile 3 (95% CI: 1.10–4.87, P = 0.027). No significant interactions between SII and other variables were observed during subgroup analysis. The discriminative power was better for mid-term outcome than that for short-term or long-term outcomes. Sensitivity analyses including patients with normal platelet and white blood cell count have revealed similar results.

Conclusion: SII was a significant risk factor for all-cause mortality in HCM patients. However, the discriminative power was poor to moderate. It could be used in combination with other risk factors in mortality risk stratification in HCM.

Russo-Ukrainian relations in the 20th Century are dominated by genocide. Using Raphel Lemkin and Martin Shaw as a guide, one finds that Russo-Ukrainian relations during the 20th Century was a long period of genocidal action, linked by periods of punctuated genocides. These genocides included several political genocides that quelled Ukrainian nationalism and independence and kept it subjugated to Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia's genocide during the 20th Century was a carryover from Imperial Russia treatment of Ukraine, the arch of which carries over into today's relations between the two countries. Understanding this long period of genocide helps make sense of the enduring relationship between the two countries.

O presente artigo nasceu de uma série de reflexões sobre as mudanças climáticas, tema que tem sido recorrente em qualquer campo da ciência e em qualquer lugar do planeta, principalmente no que se refere ao motivo pelo qual a humanidade vem destruindo seu próprio meio físico. Porém, de acordo com a UNESCO, “o grande responsável por atravessar os limites biogeofísicos do planeta é o humano ocidental e um sistema econômico específico”, não a humanidade (2018, p.05). Para comprovar esta afirmação, realizei uma investigação baseada em teorias econômicas e em literaturas críticas do colonialismo que evidenciam como o modelo de desenvolvimento ocidental, baseado no sistema de mercado, separou os seres humanos da natureza, tornando-a um objeto de exploração, enquanto os povos originários do Sul mantiveram uma relação harmoniosa com a natureza e com outros humanos, seu modo de vida, o que induz fazerem uso de outros princípios. Mesmo com a presença de diferentes povos indígenas em todo o território brasileiro, o padrão civilizatório que se desenvolveu nesse foi o ocidental, desconsiderando o conhecimento ancestral dos povos originários sobre os Biomas que habitam, bem como seus modos de vida derivados de uma relação íntima com a natureza. Segundo a Fundação Nacional do Índio – FUNAI (2018), não só na faixa amazônica vivem indígenas. As terras ocupadas tradicionalmente pelo Povo Guarani no Brasil são aquelas onde ocorre o maior número de conflitos de demarcação de terras indígenas do País. Acredita-se que nessas sociedades eles mantém seu modo de vida, sua cultura, mesmo sob a hegemonia global de um modelo eurocêntrico pela sociedade envolvente. A abordagem deste artigo é interdisciplinar e intercultural de caráter exploratório e qualitativo pelo processo investigativo, que se baseia numa revisão da literatura e numa observação participante realizada nas aldeias Guarani Mbya do litoral do Paraná como métodos. À luz de categorias teóricas decorrentes da: Teoria dos Sítios de Pertencimento (ZAOUAL, 2003), Economia Substantiva (POLANYI, 2000), Dádiva (MAUSS, 2003), Reciprocidade (SABOURIN, 2011), Identidade (HALL, 2003), Liberdades Humanas (SEN, 2010).
Poisson Modeling and Predicting English Premier League Goal Scoring
Authors: Nguyen Quang
Published: December 2021

The English Premier League is well-known for being not only one of the most popular professional sports leagues in the world, but also one of the toughest competitions to predict. The first purpose of this research was to verify the consistency between goal scoring in the English Premier League and the Poisson process; specifically, the relationships between the number of goals scored in a match and the Poisson distribution, the time between goals throughout the course of a season and the exponential distribution, and the time location of goals during football games and the continuous uniform distribution. We found that the Poisson process and the three probability distributions accurately describe Premier League goal scoring. In addition, Poisson regression was utilized to predict outcomes for a Premier League season, using different sets of season data and with a large number of simulations being involved. We examined and compared various soccer metrics from our simulation results, including an English club’s chances of being the champions, finishing in the top four and bottom three, and relegation points.

Optimal costing decisions are required in order to ensure that organisations are globally competitive. The case study company is a global affiliate based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and is involved in the manufacture and assembly of automobiles and automotive components. It was noticed that cost estimation models were only introduced at an advanced stage in the project life cycle. The concept of cost estimation and its application to improve various factors of a business has been investigated previously and existing evidence could be utilised to support further study in the field. Therefore, the aim of the study was to improve the quality of sourcing decisions by means of the introduction of a parametric cost estimation model and business process re-engineering. A case study approach was adopted. The first objective was to develop an overview of the current sourcing processes and understand the factors which influenced sourcing decisions. The methods used included the generation of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the current sourcing process, an online survey and interviews. It was concluded that there was a need to develop a detailed SOP which identified and included all impacted departments. The second objective was to redesign the sourcing process. It was concluded that the current sourcing processes did not take cost estimates into account at the early stages of the project life cycle and the inability to accurately predict costs consequently negatively impacted the cost competitiveness of the organisation. The third objective was to develop and implement a parametric cost estimation model. The model was created using Microsoft Excel. The results revealed that the Parametric Cost Estimation Model (PCEM) needed to focus on small injection moulded components as they were the highest contributor to the high Cost Index Manufacturing (CIM), which made the organisation globally uncompetitive. The results revealed that with the introduction of the PCEM and the revised sourcing process, the selected component was competitively priced.Recommendations were made for continuous process improvement and a roadmap for the further introduction of cost estimation models. Further research could also be conducted to develop an optimal cost estimation model based on analogous costing techniques or to develop a comprehensive database for other complex commodities.

The internal auditing value addition in organisational processes “has been an issue of global concern to” almost all investors of internal audit services. Investment in internal audit practices is expected to yield returns in effective organisational “governance, risk management and” internal control processes. “However, there is a reported lack of evaluation studies that explore the effect of internal audit practices” on organisational performance. This critical issue of not adequately evaluating the effect that internal audit brings to organisational processes “can be partially explained by the shortage of adequate internal auditing evaluation methods and” tools. “The overarching aim of this study was therefore to fill this inherent void by investigating the effect of internal audit practices on organisational performance to appropriately determine the extent of internal auditing effects on business” processes. The advanced evaluation model of evaluating the effects of technology systems on organisational performance indicators was applied for this purpose in this study. This model has been validated in “a case study of two departments in a public higher education institution which invests heavily in internal audit practices, as mandated by the Public Finance Management Act 1 of 1999” (Republic of South Africa, National Treasury 2017). In this study, the advanced evaluation model allows the institution “to determine the extent to which operational and overall performance can be boosted through automational, informational, and transformational effects of” internal audit practices. In addition, the study results have revealed the benefits of internal auditing of nonfinancial processes as well as financial processes: the results have confirmed a shift of internal audit practices from finance-based activities to more value adding operational activities. Moreover, this study observed that the effect of internal audit practices on organisational performance depends on factors such as “independence of internal audit activity, competence of internal auditors, internal audit quality, information technology tools, relationship between internal and external auditors, and” effective audit committee. This study found that “compliance with internal policies and procedures is the most crucial performance indicator in the” public higher education institution studied. In summary, the findings of this study, using an advanced evaluation model validated the benefit of internal auditing as a tool to help improve performance of an organisation.

El análisis de la vegetación asociada con el complejo de humedales la Grande de Beté, en la región del Medio Atrato, se realizó con el objetivo de determinar la estructura y composición vegetal. Para su desarrollo se aplicó una metodología que incluyó talleres con personas locales, complementado con muestreos de campo en cuatro unidades muestrales: rivera inundable, caño, espejo de agua y zona insular. Los resultados del estudio muestran la presencia de 239 especies distribuidas en 186 géneros y 67 familias; las angiospermas estuvieron representadas por 219 especies, agrupadas en 154 géneros y 53 familias, mientras los pteridofitos estuvieron representados por 12 familias, 16 géneros y 22 especies. Las familias mejor representadas corresponden a Leguminoceae con 28 especies, Arecaceae con 15 especies, Araceae con 12 especies, seguida de Bromeliaceae con 11 especies y Orchidaceae con 10 especies, las cuales se encuentran distribuidas en los diferentes microambientes asociados con este ecosistema. Se concluye que el estado de conservación de la ciénaga en general es bueno, lo que puede deberse a que no es una ciénaga aislada, forma un complejo de ciénagas y por lo tanto estas sirven como amortiguadoras retenedoras de desechos y otros agentes contaminantes que provienen directamente del río.

El forraje verde hidropónico (FVH) es una tecnología de producción de biomasa vegetal que se basa en el crecimiento de las plantas en los estados de germinación y crecimiento temprano de plántulas a partir de semillas viables. Al tratar de desarrollar una alternativa de alimentación de pollos de engorde en la Estación Ambiental Tutunendo se evaluó la calidad nutricional del forraje verde hidropónico a base de maíz chococito (Zea mays). Para el desarrollo de la investigación, se cumplieron cinco fases: en la primera se construyó y adecuó un invernadero; en la segunda fase se prepararon las semillas de maíz; la tercera consistió en el establecimiento y manejo del sistema; en la cuarta fase se realizaron las evaluaciones de campo y en la quinta fase se adelantó el análisis bromatológico de las muestras en el ámbito de laboratorio y análisis de resultado. Se logró una viabilidad de las semillas de maíz del orden de 87% y se comprobó que el mejor tratamiento se logra a los 12 días de cosecha, cuando se registra el mejor balance nutricional del forraje en su contenido de proteína, grasa y macronutrientes, adecuado para la alimenta- ción de pollos de engorde.

Con el objeto de determinar el estado de conservación del Páramo de Tatamá a partir del análisis de la calidad del agua de diferentes tipos de fuentes hídricas localizadas en su vertiente occidental, así como evaluar la calidad de este recurso para el abastecimiento humano y el hábitat de diversidad biológica, se realizaron dos muestreos con mediciones in situ de parámetros fisicoquímicos durante el mes octubre. Mediante recorridos se seleccionaron tres fuentes hídricas (2 lénticas, 1 lótica) donde se distribuyeron 8 puntos de medición de oxígeno disuelto, pH, temperatura, sulfatos y conductividad. Se realizaron comparaciones de los parámetros fisicoquímicos medidos con estándares de calidad para preservación de la biota acuática y consumo humano. Asimismo, los resultados se relacionaron con las observaciones realizadas en campo, para hacer inferencias acerca de la dinámica hídrica, biológica y el papel que juega el recurso hídrico del ecosistema en el desarrollo de las comunidades de su área de influencia. Se encontró que el PHosciló entre 6 y 6.2, la connductividad, entre 7.4 y 13.3 µs/cm y los niveles de oxígenodisuelto (OD) obtenidos indicaron aguas muy oxigenedas y limpias con valores entre 4 y 7.4 mg/l. Los resultados permitieron corroborar el buen estado de conservación del Páramo del Tatamá a nivel hídrico y sugirió el buen funcionamiento de las estrategias de conservación que lo protegen, así como la necesidad de un permanente control de estas herramientas para continuar garantizando la existencia de una fábrica y reserva de agua que soporta la vida de muchas comunidades y cumple además funciones biológicas de gran importancia.
