Effectiveness of Nimbasava Nasya with Sigru Beeja in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Rhino Sinusitis - A Comparative Clinical Trial
Authors: Kesavan Neethu , Krishnan EM Thrijil , Sukesan Sreeja
Published: July 2024

Chronic Rhinosinusitis is defined as a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses lasting for more than 12 weeks.  Acute exacerbation of Chronic Rhinosinusitis is defined as a sudden worsening of symptoms in a patient who has chronic sinusitis. According to the science of Ayurveda, Dushta Pratisyaya condition, is in proximity to chronic sinusitis. Asava (fermented formulation) is mentioned for Virechana Nasya (type of Errhine therapy).  Nimbasava is a formulation of Asava Kalpana prepared with Guggulu Tikthaka Gritha Yoga explained in Vaatavyadhi Chikitsa. Sigrubeeja (seed of Moringa Oleifera) and Saindhava (rock salt) are explained among Shirovirechana Gana (a group of medicines that can be used for nasal administration). The study was conducted on 30 patients of chronic sinusitis who were randomly divided into two groups and were given treatment for 7 days and follow-up after for 3 months. Out of two groups, 15 patients were given Virechana Nasya with Nimbasava, Sigru Beeja, and Saindhava for 7 days. The other 15 patients were treated as a standard control group and given the modern conventional management with Amoxicillin Clavulanate 500 mg, Fluticasone nasal spray, and Otrivin nasal drops for 7 days. The statistical analysis of data was done with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney U test. During this trial, it was observed that Nimbasava Nasya with Sigrubeeja is effective in acute exacerbation of Chronic Rhinosinusitis. Pain relieving action of this Nasya was statistically highly significant. It was also found that the effectiveness of Nasya is more in reducing the recurrence of acute exacerbations of Chronic Rhinosinusitis.

Authors: Dölek Sever Deniz
Published: July 2024

İnsan-hayvan ilişkilerinin zaman içerisindeki değişimini ve hayvanların geçmişteki çoklu rollerini inceleyen hayvan tarihi, Osmanlı ve Türkiye tarih araştırmalarında 2010’lardan itibaren gelişen yeni bir alt alandır. Bu makale, tarih disiplininin insanmerkezci (anthropocentric) zihniyet yapısına alternatif olarak geçmişi türlerarası bakış açısıyla incelemeyi öneren hayvan tarihini, çeşitli metodolojik sınırları ve bu sınırların aşılmasıyla tarihyazımına sunduğu katkılar bağlamında analiz etmektedir. Geçmişteki pek çok insan etkinliğinin önemli bir aktörü olan hayvanlara tarih anlatılarında yer verilmemesi ya da yalnızca edilgin bir vasıta olarak yer verilmesi eksik ve yetersiz bir geçmiş tahayyülü oluşturulduğu anlamına gelir. Bu bakımdan, hayvan tarihi, geçmişin hakikatine daha fazla yaklaşılmasını sağlar. Ayrıca, insanın kendini diğer türler arasında üstün olarak konumlandırmasının tarihsel kökenlerine ışık tutarak hâlihazırda insanın hayvanlarla kurduğu eşitsiz ve yıkıcı ilişkilerin dönüştürülmesine katkıda bulunur. Makale bu imkânları barındıran hayvan tarihinin Türkiye ve Osmanlı tarih araştırmalarındaki örneklerini değerlendirerek yeni araştırmacılara bir referans sunmaktadır.

Published: July 2024

İnsan-hayvan ilişkileri son yıllarda (sosyal) psikoloji bilimi içerisinde yavaş yavaş incelenmeye başlamış olsa da eleştirel bakışın büyük ölçüde eksik olduğu görülmektedir. Ana-akım psikoloji perspektifiyle yapılan çalışmalarda hayvanlar genellikle pasif bir alıcı olarak değerlendirilmiş, insan-hayvan etkileşiminin karşılıklılığı ve hayvanların da bu ilişkideki kurucu rolleri göz ardı edilmiştir. Bu makalede yeni yeni filizlenmeye başlayan insan-hayvan ilişkilerinin psikolojisinin genel bir özeti sunulmuş, bu kapsamda ortaya çıkan yaklaşımlar tanıtılmış ve söz konusu yaklaşımların eleştirildikleri temel noktalara değinilerek karşılıklı etkileşimin ele alınabileceği farklı bir yaklaşımın nasıl mümkün olabileceği tartışılmıştır. Eleştirel bir bakış açısıyla, türler arası sınırların ötesinde bir anlayışla insan-hayvan ilişkilerine dair incelemelerin hayvanların da iyi oluşlarını kapsayacak şekilde gerçekleştirilmesinin yolları sunulmuştur.

Entering GVC Commodity-Based Industry Through Design and Engineering: Comparing Brazilian and Algerian Experiences
Authors: DJEFLAT Abdelkader
Published: July 2024

Natural Resources (NR) sectors in African economies have been crowding out manufacturing and domestic capacities in Design and engineering (D&E) still in their infancy stage but with important growth potential in most manufacturing activities. As a core component of the innovation capacity building process, D&E capacity is a crucial driver of industrial and economic development (Bell 2007). While the strategy is to move up the value chain and develop backward and forward linkages to the commodity sector seems within the possibilities of oil corporations, the manufacturing of industrial equipment needed for the sector has shown serious limitations. The chances to enter Global Value chains in NR-based industries seems remote for African oil Corporations making their Transformation of the industrial sector nearly impossible. This contribution examines first how the weakD&E capabilities resulted in major difficulties entering the GVC of NR equipment manufacturing. The aim to establish possible theoretical and conceptual linkages between all three components NR, D&E capacity building and GVC. A comparative study is made between the successful penetration of the giant Brazilian Corporation Petrobras and the oil company Sonatrach in Algeria and lessons drawn. A sample of companies is investigated in Core and non-core activities of the oil sector.
Inflation, External Debt and Economic Growth in Nigeria: Empirical Appraisal using ARDL
Authors: Oligbi Blessing Ose
Published: July 2024

Eternal debt when incurred and manage well can increase and sustain economic growth, thus increase the standard of living of citizens in an economy. In the same vein, an economy can not have a measure of zero inflationary digit, this implies a significance level of inflation is needed for the stabilization of an economy. Despite the above, Nigeria is experiencing a high level of inflationary level and huge external debt. Thus, the study examines the interplay among inflation, external debt and economic growth in Nigeria using the Auto-Redistributive lag methodology. The study reveals, both inflation and external debt has a reverse effect on economic growth in Nigeria. While an increase in the exchange rate leads to a substantial decrease of roughly 13.62 units in GDP. External debt’s direct impact on GDP is insignificant, but lagged external debt variables exhibit negative impacts. Additionally, trade openness shows a minor adverse effect on GDP, with a one-unit increase resulting in a negligible decrease of about 0.05 units. The study also reveals only two (2) percent convergence annually to long run equilibrium from short run disturbance. The study concludes that High inflation, unfavorable exchange rates, and excessive external debt can hinder GDP growth. Thus, the study recommends that, managing exchange rate fluctuations is crucial. Policies should aim to stabilize the exchange rate to promote trade and investment. While the current external debt level does not significantly affect GDP, the lagged external debt variables do. Hence prudent debt management is essential to prevent long-term negative effects on economic growth. Trade openness has a minor impact on GDP. Improving infrastructure and reducing trade barriers are key to harness the benefits of globalization.

Published: July 2024

The incessant confronts of smuggling and firearm misuse contribute to a pervasive climate of insecurity, undermining local communities’ trust in law enforcement and the government. This study explores the operations of smugglers and the misuse of firearms by Nigeria Customs officials at the Idiroko border area of Ogun State. The study validates the claims of firearms misuse among customs officials in the study area. It also examined the causes of firearm misuse, the socio-political and economic implications and the efforts of the Nigerian government in addressing this menace. This study is predicated on the Situational Crime Prevention Theory. This mixed method of research of the qualitative and quantitative techniques was adopted, utilizing the exploratory research design. The quantitative data was subjected to statistical analysis, using measure of central tendency of; Average Weighted Response (AWR). While the qualitative aspect was analysed based on content. The study validates the claims of firearms misuse in the study area. The causes of firearm misuse among Custom officials were identified to include; lack of accountability mechanisms within the Custom service, lack of capacity training, corruption and poor welfare incentives for the personnel. The study also concludes that the Nigerian government has demonstrated little commitment towards curtailing the misuse of firearms among Custom officials. The study therefore proposes comprehensive reforms to address these challenges, including the enhancement of customs welfare services, capacity building for officials, and the implementation of robust accountability mechanisms.
Jesús, María and José. The Holy Family in San Pablito (1874-1970)
Authors: Peral Rabasa Francisco J.
Published: July 2024

To account for the presence of the names of Jesús, María and José, that is, the Holy Family in the community of San Pablito in Puebla, we will begin by discussing the introduction of these names then, we will address their manifestation in Mexican territory and subsequently shift our focus to their particular presence in San Pablito. Being three very old names due to their origin, and at the same time three of great importance, two aspects that draw our attention are: the first, the persistence of these names over time despite what trends predicted in 1970 about their possible disappearance (Boyd-Bowman 1970: 30); and the second, the disparity between them in their attribution, that is, José is by far more common than Jesús and the percentage of women named María exceeds the percentage of men with the name José. We can understand why the names have endured because the Catholic community remains the majority in Mexico, despite the constant growth of other religions. To explain the second phenomenon there are two concepts that allow us to elucidate it which are: latría and dulía.The corpus for this research is based on the information recorded in the birth books of the Civil Registry of Pahuatlán (municipal capital), during the period from 1874 to 1970, consisting of 3094 names, of which 1212 are, or include, the names: Jesús, María and/or José. The socionomastic perspective (Seide 2016, 2020) adopted allowed us to consider factors that provided meaning to the quantification and comparison of the data. Among others, variants of religious, social, political, and legal order. An example of this is the mandatory registration of births in the 40s and 50s and the consequent sanctions for those who did not comply (Peral 2023), which directly impacted the statistics.

Authors: SCHERER Norman
Published: July 2024

Amidst the profound global impact of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, there emerges an accelerated shift towards digital transformation in various sectors, notably the real estate industry. This research addresses a notable gap in the academic literature regarding the interplay between digitalisation and leadership, specifically within the ambit of real estate. Leveraging a comprehensive analysis of primary and secondary sources, the study investigates the significant factors shaping digitalization’s influence on the economy and organisations, and how this interrelation affects leadership paradigms. The methodology entails a synthesis of extant concepts, with a focus on change management tools suited for the new digital era. Findings underscore the paramount importance of corporate culture and a well-communicated digital vision for successful transformation. Furthermore, leadership in the digital era requires a blend of traditional and novel competencies, emphasizing exemplary behaviour, trust-building, and adaptability. The study concludes that for businesses to thrive amidst digital upheaval, there must be a concerted effort to align organisational structures, leadership models, and employee engagement strategies with the digitalisation paradigm. This paper offers an in-depth analysis of the strategic imperatives generated by the converging forces of digital transformation. It focuses on the exploration of transformative dynamics, organisational recalibrations and novel leadership paradigms that are critical in a globally interconnected economic context. This paper critically analyses the challenges and opportunities for companies and presents innovative solutions to crises caused by pandemic and digital paradigm shifts. It covers aspects of corporate governance, organisational structure and employee motivation in detail and relates them to strategic and organisational levels as well as digital innovations. The aim of the article is to provide sound insights and recommendations for action based on a thorough literature review and the current economic situation.

Authors: Rathod Dr. Vibha , Simon Dr. Richi
Published: July 2024

The issue of crimes against women has been a matter of concern, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only worsened this situation. The United Nations has labeled this surge in gender-based violence cases as the "Shadow Pandemic," particularly noting the alarming rise within homes. This research seeks to comprehend the scale of crimes against women in India and compare the situations before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. To achieve this, the study employs a descriptive research design and quantitative analysis, drawing mainly from secondary sources like the National Crime Records Bureau. The analysis sheds light on various forms of violence against women, including rape-murder, dowry deaths, abetment to suicide, and other types of abusive behaviors. During the lockdown period, there was a significant decrease in reported cases, with the exception of cyber-crimes, which saw a notable 45% increase. However, after the lockdown, the number of crimes against women rose once again. The study underscores the urgent necessity to address and prevent such offenses to safeguard the safety and well-being of women.
PENDIDIKAN KARAKTER DENGAN TELAAH REVOLUSI MENTAL DALAM KONTEKS PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
Authors: FIRDAUS ANDRIAN
Published: July 2024

Mental Revolution is interpreted as a change in mindset in national life. Mental revolution does not simply rely on good intentions, but must take into account structural changes in societal interactions. In the realm of Islamic education, mental revolution must consider the structure of meaning, domination and legitimacy. These three things condition the mindset of Islamic education practitioners, the Islamic Education System, and the structure of Islamic education institutions themselves. The orientation of change as a result of implementing the mental revolution must be shown in the form of improving educational services for the welfare of society. Islamic educational institutions are expected to be able to explain injustice, arbitrariness and enable people to view, feel, think and act more rationally and wisely.
ABSTRAKRevolusi Mental dimaknai sebagai sebuah perubahan mindset (pola pikir) didalam kehidupan berbangsa. Revolusi mental tidak cukup mengandalkan niat baik, namun harus memperhitungkan perubahan struktural dalam interaksi masyarakat. Di ranah pendidikan Islam, revolusi mental harus mempertimbangkan struktur pemaknaan, dominasi, dan legitimasi. Ketiga hal ini mengkondisikan pola pikir pelaku pendidikan Islam, Sistem Pendidikan Islam, dan struktur lembaga pendidikan Islam itu sendiri. Orientasi perubahan sebagai dampak dari implementasi revolusi mental harus ditunjukkan dengan wujud berupa peningkatan pelayanan pendidikan demi kesejahteraan masyarakat. Lembaga Pendidikan Islam diharapkan mampu mengurai tentang ketidakadilan, kesewenangan dan membuat manusia dalam memandang, merasa, berfikir, dan bertindak secara lebih rasional dan bijaksana.

Radar based nowcasting to enhance urban resilience to flash floods in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona 
Authors: Esbri Laura , Rigo Tomeu , Aznar Blanca , Llasat María Carmen
Published: July 2024

The North-western Mediterranean coast, including the Catalan littoral zone, faces a high probability of extreme weather events. Climate change exacerbates these challenges by increasing the frequency and intensity of phenomena like droughts, heatwaves, and flooding. The Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, with its dense urban environment and complex topography, struggles with significant hydrological challenges, especially during intense, localized downpours. Efficient drainage is difficult due to the region's coastal location and urban landscape.To enhance urban resilience, this study emphasizes the importance of using non-structural and structural techniques that mimic natural hydrologic responses, thereby reducing adverse runoff impacts. Understanding the dynamics of convective precipitation at high resolution is crucial for sustainable water management and flood resilience in Barcelona. Improved knowledge of storm structures and rainfall patterns can help predict and mitigate extreme weather effects in the metropolitan area.This work introduces a radar-based nowcasting approach that utilizes a two-dimensional radar product with three-dimensional atmospheric information to improve early warnings for the urban region with high spatial resolution. Unlike previous methods that relied single levels of radar reflectivity such as CAPPI and TOP (Esbri et al., 2021), this new approach focuses on the most convective parts of storms by incorporating Vertical Integrated Liquid (VIL) density-based nowcasting. The VIL density product, derived from radar composites, provides vertical storm structure information in a two-dimensional format, enabling faster data processing without losing volumetric capabilities.The obtained storm centroid distributions using the two different methodologies are discussed. The new resulting warning areas are compared with incidents from Barcelona's rainfall drainage network, managed by Barcelona Cicle de l’Aigua S.A., and the economic impacts collected by the Consorcio de Compensación de Seguros for municipalities in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, thereby redefining rainfall hotspots in the region.This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement 101037193. References:Esbrí L., Rigo T., Llasat M.C., Aznar B.

Understanding the impact of climate change on areal reduction factors using convection-permitting models
Authors: Vohnicky Petr , Dallan Eleonora , Marra Francesco , Fosser Giorgia , Pesce Matteo , Borga Marco
Published: July 2024

Areal reduction factors (ARFs) are essential in hydrological modeling as they enable the conversion of point design precipitation into the average design precipitation for a catchment area. This study aims to assess the projected variations in ARFs during precipitation events for different return levels, focusing on the upper Adige River, Italy (Eastern Italian Alps). The study utilizes simulations from the ensemble of convection-permitting climate models (CPMs), which are well-suited for this purpose due to their ability to explicitly represent deep convection and to resolve the mountainous topography. The CPM data, provided by the CORDEX-FPS Convection project at 1-hour temporal resolution and remapped to a common 3 km spatial resolution, cover historical and far-future (2090-2099) time periods under the extreme climate change scenario (RCP8.5). The method applied for estimating the ARFs utilizes gridded precipitation data from CPMs and is based on precipitation quantiles derived from frequency curves. The extreme quantiles are estimated by the Simplified Metastatistical Extreme Value approach, known for its reduced uncertainty compared to conventional approaches. The ARFs are then calculated as the ratio of extreme quantiles for a selection of events with different duration and return period, which allows the ARF to vary where necessary. Our preliminary results indicate that ARFs for short-duration events are likely to increase in the future, suggesting a potentially larger spatial structure for storms. Additionally, for longer duration storms, ARFs are expected to remain relatively same, although a slight negative trend is observed for higher return period events. These results highlight the importance of considering advanced statistical methods and high-resolution climate models to address emerging challenges in hydrology and climate science.

This study presents a comprehensive methodology for analysing and integrating sparse data on extreme flood events to enhance future flood risk assessments. By reconstructing historical flood events using limited data sources such as rainfall records, flood marks, visual documentation, and eyewitness testimonies, we aim to develop a robust framework for understanding hydrological responses to extreme weather conditions. By leveraging historical data and advanced modelling techniques, this research contributes to the improved assessment and prediction of hydro-geological risks, ultimately aiding in the development of more resilient infrastructures and communities in the Mediterranean region.

The potential increase of heat stress is a major challenge of the 21st century, and the Mediterranean region is especially exposed to this natural hazard due to the anthropogenic global warming. This study evaluates the multi-model and multi-scenario ensemble from global climate model simulations - available from the CMIP6, i.e. Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 of the World Climate Research Programme - including four different SSP-RCP scenario pairs (i.e. from immediate rapid mitigation and effective adaptation, SSP1-RCP2.6, to no mitigation with highly challenging adaptation, SSP5-RCP8.5). For this purpose, the Interactive Atlas of the IPCC AR6 Working Group 1 is used, and the geographical differences of climate projections are compared within the Mediterranean region of Europe. The study provides key information so the regional and national adaptation strategies for different socio-economic sectors can be built and/or updated accordingly.This study focuses on temperatures extremes, i.e. the monthly frequency of heat days with daily maximum temperature above 35 °C. The target periods cover two decades on medium-term (2041-2060) and long-term (2081-2100), and the reference period is defined as the last two decades of the historical simulation period (1995-2014). Several zonal and meridional segments were defined over Europe, along which the projected changes are analysed with a special focus on sea cover, continental, and topography effects. Furthermore, the consequences of different scenarios are also compared. The results clearly show that greater radiative forcing change implies more severe health effects via the more frequent heat stress events. However, substantial differences can also be identified from south to north as well, as from west to east. The study highlights the differences within the Mediterranean region.Acknowledgements: Research leading to this study has been supported by the European Climate Fund (G-2309-66801), the Hungarian National Research, Development and Innovation Fund (under grants PD-138023 and K-129162), and the National Multidisciplinary Laboratory for Climate Change (RRF-2.3.1-21-2022-00014).
A win-win strategy to enhance the energy transition, improve air quality and reduce associated health threats
Authors: Gallardo Victoria , Jiménez-Guerrero Pedro , Jerez Sonia
Published: July 2024

This contribution shows the co-benefits of an optimal deployment of renewable energy infrastructure, particularly wind and solar photovoltaics, on air quality and associated health impact. The term "optimal" here specifically refers to leveraging the spatio-temporal complementarity of both resources in order to minimize the fluctuations of their combined electricity production, and so easing their integration in the energy mix. In a previous work by Jerez et al. (2023), the open-access CLIMAX tool was developed for that purpose, and utilized to delineate optimal capacity density scenarios across five European regions. We now show that, under these optimized scenarios, the European CO2-equivalent emissions could decrease by 1%, accompanied by a significant reduction in pollutant emissions from combustion power plants, potentially amounting to hundreds of kilotons of fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide saved. Exposure to these contaminants caused approximately three hundred thousands deaths in Europe in 2021, as reported by EEA (2023). In this sense, building upon the methodology employed by Tarín-Carrasco et al. (2021), our estimates corroborate that implementing the CLIMAX scenarios could substantially avoid human fatalities associated with air pollution. Hence, pursuing carbon neutrality through a judicious energy transition emerges as a win-win strategy. Not only does it contribute to climate change mitigation by curbing greenhouse gas emissions, but it also fosters healthier, more breathable environments, thus preventing premature mortality as it relates to poor air quality.

Since early 2022, Italy has been experiencing a multi-year drought going well beyond a mere precipitation deficit to include a snow deficit, negative soil moisture anomalies, significant streamflow lows, and considerable impacts on various sectors. In the wake of this event, CIMA Research Foundation is working with the Italian Civil Protection Department to establish a real-time, multi-variable and operational water scarcity data platform for real-world applications. These analyses provide monthly snapshots of the following variables: temperature anomaly, Standardized Precipitation Index, Standardized Soil Moisture Index, Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, Snow-Water-Equivalent deficit, and anomalies of the fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation. All indices are computed at monthly resolution and are spatially explicit, with varying spatial resolutions up to a maximum of 1 km. In collaboration with the Italian Civil Protection Department, a bulletin is composed every month to translate these indices into decision-relevant information, such as the percentage of the Italian territory that is in a specific drought level every month. Future steps are the inclusion of near real-time, satellite-based information on water reservoir areas and extents for various case studies across the country.  
Analyzing the chances of evacuation in the 2018 Mati Fire

Published: July 2024

The 2018 Mati wildfire in Greece caused 104 fatalities, leading to national mourning and a change in Greek wildfire policy. Dry conditions, strong winds, and limited evacuation routes led to a late evacuation, with people trapped in the path of the wildfire. Evacuating from wildfires is crucial for saving lives, but timing and planning is key. Dire evacuations happen when there is no time to evacuate from a wildfire, but people attempt to do so, resulting in entrapment and loss of life. This presentation studies Mati using trigger boundaries,  to examine whether an evacuation with no casualties was possible. Trigger boundaries relate the required time to evacuate a community to the available time until a wildfire reaches the community. Analyzing past wildfires with trigger boundaries can help understand what went wrong and improve future evacuation strategies for at-risk communities.
Analysis and comparison of the impact of floods and compound flood events on the Spanish Peninsular Mediterranean coast

The Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula covers a total of 1,609 km of coastline between the Spanish-French border and Gibraltar and is an area with increasing impacts related with extreme meteorological phenomena, but also linked to the socio-economic characteristics of the areas affected. It is an area with a high concentration of economic activities, especially tourism. On the other hand, this zone contains areas of high ecosystem value. All this means that natural hazards can cause more serious damage, both socio-economic and environmental. Understanding the compounding threats of floods, sea storms and other hydro-meteorological events in the Mediterranean is crucial in the context of climate change and has serious implications for coastal resilience.This study examines the socio-economic impacts of compound events of floods, wind and sea storms on coastal communities. First, this communication presents the process of identifying these events carried out in the framework of C3Riskmed project, including the role of new sources of information such as citizen science, social networks or historical landmarks. The economic impact of these events has been analysed using the Insurance Compensation Consortium (CCS). The analysis of remarkability, which was assessed using a remarkability criterion that integrates physical and socio-economic variables, is also presented. To finish, an analysis of the similarities and differences in the impact of these different events (in terms of economic impact, fatalities or damage to selected natural areas) will be included.This research has been done in the framework of the C3Riskmed project, Grant PID2020-113638RB-C22 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.
