A Critical Reflection on Neoliberalism Policies and Neo-colonialism at African Universities
Authors: M'mboga Akala Beatrice
Published: April 2022

This article aims to explore the challenges that institutions of higher education in Africa continue to encounter following the implementation of neoliberalism policies, which brought major changes to the structure and management of higher education. The most notable changes were the re-conceptualisation of education from being a public good to a private good and the introduction of cost-sharing policies. This shift had implications for the funding and restructuring of higher education. Literature is replete with examples of a myriad of challenges faced by students and higher learning institutions due to the disruption. Besides, academic freedom has been compromised and at some institutions courses deemed ‘nonmarketable and less attractive’ have been terminated. Freedom to explore, think and educate has been hampered by impositions from donor nations. In view of this, the article argues that, although entrenching neoliberalism in African universities has changed the structure and management of institutions, it also resulted in an increase in the cost of education related businesses. The article notes that the policy shift continues to make higher education inaccessible to the majority of students from poor families. The trajectory of these changes started in the 1980s, when the World Bank championed a new economic model that introduced a new cost-sharing mechanism based on Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPS). The orientation of this shift was towards marketisation, and the privatisation of higher education affected students and universities in different ways. Outside pressure from multinational agencies continues to shape the operationalisation of higher education in Africa. This article views such pressure negatively as it is reminiscent of colonialism and can cause universities to lose their identities and autonomy. Based on a conceptual analysis of secondary literature and data, the article concludes that African universities have to problematise and engage critically with neoliberalism policies and resist secondary colonialisation by exercising greater autonomy regarding decisions that affect their constituencies, the courses being offered and the general goal of education to promote the public good. The disruption of academic programmes and needy students’ lack of access to higher education ought to be addressed.
Archivos e historiografía de la Inquisición española
Authors: Henningsen Gustav
Published: April 2022

Fruto de su experiencia como archivero y ya conocedor de los fondos inquisitoriales dispersos por archivos y bibliotecas del mundo, Gustav Henningsen ofreció un texto magistral para un volumen que coordinó con John Tedeschi y Charles Amiel sobre fuentes y métodos para el estudio de la Inquisición en la Europa moderna. Aborda dos temas previos a toda investigación: la heurística de fuentes documentales y la historiografía inquisitorial. Este estudio es, junto con los capítulos iniciales de la Historia de la Inquisición en España y América, coordinada por Joaquín Pérez Villanueva (1984, t. 1, parte 1.ª, cap. 1-3, pp. 3-176), los dos manuales básicos de que disponen los investigadores para manejarse en el piélago documental inquisitorial. Dada su rareza bibliográfica, consideramos...
El síndrome de brujería infantil: el abuso infantil satánico contemporáneo y los procesos por brujería infantil de antaño

Published: April 2022

A vállalkozásfejlesztés világszerte a gazdasági fejlődés egyik építőeleme, a vállalkozói attitűdök felmérése, a vállalkozóvá válás fejlesztése pedig az oktatási rendszer – ezen belül elsősorban a felsőoktatás – egyik kiemelt fontosságú feladata. Tanulmányunk célja összefoglalást nyújtani az elmúlt évek során végzett, az egyetemi hallgatók vállalkozói attitűdjeinek feltárására irányuló kutatásaink eredményeiről, valamint arról, hogy milyen modellt követünk a vállalkozáshoz kapcsolódó ismeretek oktatása során. Vizsgálataink alapjául a visegrádi országokkal (Csehország, Lengyelország, Magyarország és Szlovákia) közösen végzett kutatás eredményei szolgálnak. A négy közép-kelet-európai országban végzett kérdőíves kutatás fő célja az egyetemi hallgatók pénzügyi-gazdasági tudatosságának feltérképezése mellett a vállalkozói léthez kapcsolódó ismeretek és motivációk felmérése volt. Kutatási eredményeinket, a vizsgálatok tapasztalatait folyamatosan beillesztettük egyetemi képzéseink tananyagaiba, és megfogalmazódott az igény egy hatékonyabb, gyakorlatorientáltabb vállalkozás-oktatási modell iránt, hiszen a jövőbeli vállalkozóknak az általános menedzsment ismereteken túl az önálló döntéshozatalra, tervezésre, kommunikációra, stressz- és kockázatkezelésre, a változó környezethez alkalmazkodó üzleti modellek kialakítására való képességekkel kell rendelkezniük.
A (mezőgazdasági) üzem fogalmának kialakulása, a tartalom változása
Authors: Takácsné György Katalin
Published: April 2022

A mezőgazdasági termeléssel foglalkozó gazdasági egységek többféle elnevezéssel illethetők, függően a történelmi kortól, a gazdaság jellegétől és gyakran attól is függően, hogy korábban milyen áthallások rögzültek az egyes kifejezésekhez. A gazdálkodás alapját adó mezőgazdasági üzem, a benne zajló vállalati folyamatok a mezőgazdasági sajátoságok okán különböznek a ’vállalati’ működéstől, talán nem kellene ódzkodni az agrárgazdaságban a mezőgazdasági üzem fogalmának általános értelemű használatától. Jelen tanulmány célja az üzem fogalmi tartalmának, a történelmi korok mentén történő elnevezések sorának a bemutatása, amellyel egy volt kolléga tiszteletét fejezi ki Székely Csaba professzor úr munkássága előtt. Az üzem fogalma alatt magát, a gazdálkodó egységet kell érteni, függetlenül annak jogi formájától, méretétől, tulajdonosi hátterétől.

Abstract: Overweight can cause various degenerative diseases that must be controlled by doing physical activity. Resistance exercise is a type of physical activity that can increase the calories burned during fat burning so that it can affect Body Mass Index (BMI). The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of intensity of elastic band resistance exercise on BMI. This study was pretest-posttest control group design with 40 adult women. The subjects were divided into four treatments - low intensity, moderate intensity, high intensity, and control. Resistance exercise consists of three types of exercise for upper extremities and three types of exercise for lower extremities, each set consisting of three sets, 12 repetitions, and one minute of rest interval between exercises given three times every week for four weeks BMI calculation is done by dividing body weight in kilograms and height in meters squared before and after the intervention. Low intensity resistance exercise showed an increase in BMI (p=0.62), moderate intensity resistance exercise showed a decrease in BMI (p=0.24) and high intensity resistance exercise showed a decrease in BMI (p=0.04). Medium intensity and high intensity elastic band resistance exercises are effective in improving BMI in adult women.Keywords: Body Mass Index; Exercise Intensity; Resistance ExerciseAbstrak:  Overweight dapat menyebabkan berbagai penyakit degeneratif sehingga harus dikontrol dengan melakukan aktivitas fisik.

Abstract: Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects about 10-20% of the world’s population. The therapy of this disease is based on its pathophysiology. Some research said that exercise can affect the cytokines involved in allergic rhinitis pathophysiology. This study aims to explain the effect of exercise on allergic rhinitis symptoms improvement. The design of this study is literature review and PICOS framework as the selection criteria. Exercise improves allergic rhinitis symptoms by modulating cytokines, such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-13, and TNF-a. Furthermore, exercise can increase lung function, modulate the autonomic nervous system, decrease airway resistance, and increase VO2max. However, these effects can only be obtained from moderate-intensity exercise, such as yoga, aquatic exercise, winter exercise, and treadmill. Exercise can improve allergic rhinitis symptoms in some way that fits its pathophysiology.Keywords: allergic rhinitis; symptom; exerciseAbstrak: Rinitis alergi merupakan penyakit inflamasi kronis yang diperkirakan diderita oleh 10-20% populasi dunia.

Published: April 2022

A new passive monitoring system applied to large surface wave plasmas (SWP) is experimentally tested. In the first experiment, spatial distributions of the electron density and temperature are measured using double probes. Subsequently, integral photography with deconvolution techniques is applied to identify the three-dimensional emissivity distribution of SWP. The result obtained from the first experiment seems to identify the localization of SWP around the antenna launching an 860 MHz microwave.

Tomato is one of the most important vegetables grown for their edible fruits with abundant vitamins that are essential for human diet. The constraint posed by soils low fertility has been a major production challenge in the tropics. This limitation can be resolved by adequate fertilizer application which increases the yield of crops. Hence, this study sought to determine the influence of NPK 15:15:15 fertilizer rate on the growth and fruit yields of tomato. This study was established at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (7° 15' N and 3° 25' E). A variety of tomato (BESKE) was raised in the nursery for five weeks before being transplanted into 15 kg bag of sterile soil with NPK (15:15:15) applied at different rates (60, 90 and 120 kg N/ha; 400, 600 and 800 kg/ha) 3 weeks after planting. Data collected was on plant height, number of leaves/plant, number of branches/plant, number of flowers/plant, fruit yield/ha and average fruit weight per hectare (ha). The data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) using SAS edition 9.0 and significantly different means separated using LSD and Duncan multiple range test (DMRT) at a probability level of 5%. NPK 15:15:15 application at 60 kg N/ha is suitable for tomato (beske) production as it best influences the growth and yield parameters (fruit yield of 9.8 t/ha). A calibrated rate of 34.2 kg N/ha of NPK 15:15:15 with an estimated fruit yield of 11.2 t/ha is also recommended for further studies.
Permasalahan Dalam Reformasi Birokrasi Dalam Sektor Pendidikan
Authors: Arifin Muhidin , Akhiruddin Fahrizal
Published: April 2022

Berdasarkan data dalam Education for All (EFA) Global Monitroring Report 2011 yang dikeluarkan UNESCO menunjukkan bahwa indeks pembangunan pendidikan Indonesia berada pada urutan 69 dari 127 negara yang disurvei atau turun empat tingkatan jika dibandingkan hasil survei sebelumnya yang menempatkan Indonesia pada urutan ke 65. Keberhasilan suatu negara memiliki relevansi yang signifikan dengan kualitas pendidikan yang diselenggarakan. Sedangkan kualitas pendidikan berbanding lurus dengan kejelasan tujuan dan arah kebijakan yang hendak dicapai. Standar kualitas merupakan perwujudan dari komitmen kolektif untuk menjadi bangsa yang unggul, maju, dan berperadaban. Oleh karena itu, keunggulan pendidikan menjadi indikator majunya suatu bangsa, sebaliknya rendahnya daya saing bangsa merupakan pencerminan dari rendahnya kualitas pendidikan yang dihasilkan. Reformasi pendidikan merupakan suatu keharusan. Sebab, cara-cara yang selama ini diiaksanakan dalam pengelolaan pendidikan tidak akan dapat memecahkan persoalan-persoalan yang muncul saatini. Krisis moneter dan ekonomi yang diikuti oleh krisis politik, kepercayaan dan keamanan, mempercepat realisasi reformasi pendidikan. Reformasi pendidikan yang diperiukan bersifat menyeluruh dan mendasar, menyangkut dimensi kultural-fondasional, politik-kebijakan, teknis-operasional, dan, dimensi kontekstual. Tambal sulam dalam dunia pendidikan saat ini harus dihindarkan, sebab hanya akan berakibat menunda datangnya bencana yang lebih parah iagi. Betapapun Reformasi merupakan suatu keharusan, tetap saja akan muncul resistensi yang menghambat jalannya reformasi.

Abstrak

Tujuan dari penulisan makalah ini adalah untuk mengetahui, menganalisis dan mendapatkan informasi tentang pola hubungan kebijakan dan pembangunan pendidikan dan kebudayaan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tujuan utama yang ingin dicapai dari reformasi pendidikan adalah pendidikan yang berkualitas yang dapat menjadi modal pembangunan manusia di suatu bangsa. Pendidikan yang berkualitas bukanlah variabel mandiri yang dapat dicapai hanya dengan memperbaiki infrastruktur sekolah maupun kurikulum dan anggaran pendidikan. Dalam RPJMN 2019-2024 disebutkan bahwa sektor pendidikan merupakan bahwa pendidikan merupakan Prioritas Nasional ke-2, yaitu Pendidikan yang ditujukan terutama untuk peningkatan akses pendidikan yang berkualitas, terjangkau, relevan, dan efisien. Patologi yang terdapat dalam dunia pendidikan sangat beragam. Plagiarisme, kecurangan dalam evaluasi, pemalsuan data, hingga korupsi.Terdapat empat penyebab utama yang menjadi penghambat rendahnya kualitas birokrasi di Indonesia, yaitu peraturan perundangan, organisasi, Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM), dan manajemen pemerintahan. Manfaat reformasi birokrasi akan berdampak langsung kepada perbaikan kualitas kebijakan public pendidikan berdasarkan kondisi nyata di lapangan (evidence based), adanya transparansi untuk kesejahteraan masyarakat, serta peningkatan kualitas pelayanan masyarakat. Reformasi birokrasi ini tentu akan mendorong terlaksananya pembangunan secara menyeluruh di Indonesia, terutama dalam menjalankan RPJMN tahap tiga yang saat ini dilaksanakan. Di samping itu, terlaksananya reformasi birokrasi dinilai juga akan mengajak investor untuk terurus ikut serta berinvestasi demi kemajuan bangsa ini.
Mercury removal in coal-fired power plants, possibilities how to attain very low emissions and minimization of hazardous waste stream
Authors: Svoboda Karel , Pohořelý Michael , Ružovič Tomáš , Veselý Václav , Brynda Jiří , Zach Boleslav , Šyc Michal
Published: April 2022

Emissions of toxic heavy metals (HMs), as Hg, As, Cd, Pb, etc., and some harmful compounds of F, Se, and B are related to waste streams from coal-fired power plants (CFPP). Coal/lignite combustion, due to relatively high content of ash, sulfur, and chlorine, generates in flue gas cleaning processes tremendous amount of fly ash, CaSO4 and CaCl2. Measures for minimization of Hg- and NOx-emissions (e.g. addition of bromides and NH3) change properties of fly ash, wastewater and speciation/partition of HMs. Wet flue gas desulfurization (FGD) consumes high amount of fresh water and generates harmful wastewater with water soluble salts. The planned, more stringent limits on emissions of dust, Hg, HCl, HF, SO2, etc. in CFPP will increase contents of polluting compounds in solid and liquid waste streams. We critically assess possibilities, measures and obstacles for higher efficiency of Hg and HMs removal from flue gas in CFPP, together with efficient removal of other pollutants including mutual influences and interrelations. The fates of mercury, selected harmful HMs, and some other pollutants in waste streams from wet FGD are critically analyzed and discussed. Non-toxic, stable forms of mercury (e.g. HgS) and other HMs in solid waste should be preferred. Schemes and measures for minimization of emissions and hazardous waste streams from air pollution control (APC) are compared and discussed for three selected technologies of coal combustion with different methods of gas cleaning.

This study attempts to evaluate the determinants of the combination of tested models of brand equity, service value chain and customer relationship management particularly in selected banking services for enhancing the satisfaction of the customer. The conceptual framework of these individual tested models is developed to offer customer satisfaction and delightnes. The applied structure of these tested models is based upon the customer-based brand value, also known as brand resonance model which contains five determinants such as brand images, brand salience, brand performance, brand judgment and brand services, culture & leadership, hassle free documentation & internet / e-banking services. The customer relationship management models contain identification of perspective & potential customer acquisitions, Product/service value proposition, Product/service portfolio analysis & mutually beneficial CRM. The Correlations were conducted and strong positive correlation between brand equity & customer relation management is observed. It can be seen that CRM model has highly influenced the customer satisfaction in banking sector. The multiple regression results indicate that the brand equity model, CRM and Value Chain model do have a significant influence in the customer satisfaction.

Published: April 2022

O presente artigo analisa de um ponto de vista da Análise do discurso de base materialista as contribuições da discursivista brasileira Carme Schons. Toma-se especificamente como objeto de reflexão, um projeto de pesquisa em que Schons elege o corpo pelo viés discursivo, especificamente pelas discursivizações sobre a mutilação feminina. Nesse projeto, era do corpo simbólico que a autora brasileira tratava, em que o fisiológico está já sempre significado. Para ela, a narrativa de mulheres mastectomizadas era um espaço de importante compreensão do sujeito e das imagens do corpo e sobre o corpo que o determinam quando atingido pela doença. No entrelaçamento do verbal (narrativas) e do visual (corpo-imagem) Carme queria “observar e analisar as produções de sentidos em seus processos discursivos”.

La Teoría de la jerarquización de la información
Authors: Marchese Mariana , Soich Matías
Published: April 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar cómo la Teoría de la jerarquización de la información es una herramienta analítica apta y fructífera para encarar un análisis del discurso que, además, posea perspectiva crítica. Para ello, se presentan tres análisis. El primero estudia un relato infantil escrito. El segundo examina un texto extraído del programa televisivo La Liga. Ambos textos se utilizan para abordar la jerarquización de la información en la emisión. El tercer texto pertenece al diario Página/12 y se utiliza para abordar, además de la jerarquización de la información en la emisión, el análisis de la jerarquización en el texto. Finalmente, mediante algunas preguntas disparadoras, el trabajo demuestra cómo los datos obtenidos en el análisis mediante la teoría mencionada, en tanto evidencia lingüística, posibilitan reflexionar críticamente sobre cuestiones sociales.
Valoraciones discursivas en torno al asesinato homofóbico de Daniel Zamudio en textos de ciberprensa chilena
Authors: Araya Seguel Claudio
Published: April 2022

Este artículo muestra cómo medios de ciberprensa chilena representaron discursivamente el crimen contra Daniel Zamudio, producido en marzo de 2012. Desde las claves evaluativas de los textos publicados inmediatamente después del evento, se muestran los posicionamientos ideológicos articulados desde las representaciones discursivas desplegadas en los textos y que provienen tanto de las voces autorales como de aquellas incorporadas al discurso de los distintos medios de ciberprensa. Las valoraciones éticas inscritas y evocadas construyen la condena al ataque y agresores; y, además, configuran la responsabilidad de las instituciones religiosas y políticas y de la sociedad chilena en la violencia homofóbica.
“Hordas asesinas” vs. “Heroicos soldados”
Authors: Bolo Varela Oswaldo Moisés
Published: April 2022

Este artículo describe las representaciones que el diario El Comercio difundió sobre los principales actores del conflicto armado interno peruano ”“Agentes Estatales (militares y policías) y miembros del PCP-Sendero Luminoso”“ durante los primeros años de posguerra. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar los mecanismos ideológicos presentes en la opinión institucional de esta poderosa empresa mediática. Para ello, partiendo de los planteamientos teórico-metodológicos propuestos desde el análisis crítico del discurso, se analizaron textual e ideológicamente los editoriales publicados por El Comercio desde agosto del 2003 hasta agosto del 2013: la década posterior a la entrega del Informe final de la Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación. Por un lado, los resultados muestran que el diario relativiza y silencia el accionar punible de policías y militares: son calificados como héroes. Se justifican sus crímenes al significarlos como simples excesos, se responsabiliza solo a un reducido grupo de agentes (o a elementos externos a la institución) y se omite frecuentemente su participación en este periodo. Por otro lado, los hallazgos también revelan que el diario absolutiza una caracterización irracional para los miembros senderistas: son significados como seres malvados y perversos. Se enfatizan los crímenes que cometieron, se los culpabiliza de ser los únicos responsables (y partícipes) del periodo de violencia política, se les niega cualquier reconocimiento mínimo de justicia. La investigación concluye que los editoriales consolidan una significación confrontada, una dicotomía radical entre senderistas y militares; además, ocultan o aminoran una realidad a cambio del énfasis de otra; por ello, legitiman el discurso hegemónico sobre los actores armados partícipes de la guerra interna peruana: el repudio absoluto para unos contrapuesto al elogio encubridor para otros.
A construção da mulher em múltiplos contextos: metarreflexividade nos paradigmas da performance, da microrresistência e da agência
Authors: Dias Pereira Maria Das Graças , Oliveira Nogueira Mayara de , Martins Amaral Renata
Published: April 2022

A relação entre gênero e interação em múltiplos contextos é o foco deste estudo, em uma proposta de atividade metarreflexiva, sobre a linguagem da mulher e sua atuação na interação social, no contraponto com estudos realizados em contextos específicos no âmbito do Grupo de Pesquisa “Linguagem, cultura e trabalho” (CNPq/PUC-Rio), vinculado a uma universidade brasileira. Os paradigmas teóricos norteadores da investigação são os da diferença/dominação, da performance, da microrresistência e da agência. Desse modo, elegemos duas das pesquisas concebidas no grupo para analisar os trânsitos performático-emocionais de uma mulher com câncer de mama e sua jornada marcadamente agentiva; e de uma mulher periférica que interpela por serviços jurídicos para proteger seu filho injustamente preso, em micromovimentos de resistência Ã s exclusões que lhes são impostas. Os resultados indicam que as mulheres não se pautam pelo paradigma da diferença/dominação. Tendem a ser questionadoras e agentivas em sua prática social.
Descripción de un género multimodal desde una perspectiva local: el libro álbum en un corpus chileno
Authors: Maturana Carmen Luz
Published: April 2022

La siguiente investigación analiza las etapas y el propósito del género libro álbum, a partir de un corpus de seis ejemplares chilenos. Este género multimodal ha sido considerado como fundamental para desarrollar procesos efectivos de alfabetización infantil y para la transmisión de ideología cubierta y encubierta, ya que contiene mensajes que dan cuenta del mundo y de valores sociales dominantes. Desde esa perspectiva, es fundamental incorporar el estudio de relatos a nivel territorial más micro, con la intención de establecer conexiones entre el estudio del mundo en las prácticas sociales y en sus representaciones específicas. Se observa una conformación multimodal en relación a los modos involucrados en el corpus, pero no a los sistemas específicos. Asimismo, la variable de modo adquiere relevancia, ya que permite la realización de los ensambles multimodales. Finalmente, el contenido verbal se ve atenuado por los significados visuales, que alejan los textos del realismo.

Representaciones discursivas de la identidad de las maestras uruguayas en medios digitales de noticias: análisis de transitividad
Authors: Osorio Virginia
Published: April 2022

Los medios de comunicación juegan un papel importante en la construcción de significados sociales, así como en la construcción y reproducción de representaciones de las identidades. En este artículo, presento parte del análisis de mi investigación sobre las representaciones discursivas de la identidad de las maestras uruguayas en medios digitales de noticias. Particularmente me centro en el estudio de la transitividad, mostrando los procesos más recurrentes en las cláusulas principales, procesos verbales y materiales, de esos medios digitales de noticias. Los resultados muestran una construcción predominantemente negativa de la identidad: las maestras son el actor social más recurrente en noticias de educación, pero se las representa como agentes de “ataques” que impactan negativamente en la sociedad (niños, padres, etc.), se tematizan eventos donde se inscriben significados negativos sobre su actuación laboral, ética o profesional y se reportan sus voces con valoraciones a través de las cuales implícitamente se las cuestiona.
Os sujeitos do discurso hegemônico sobre desenvolvimento urbano
Authors: Dantas Adailson
Published: April 2022

Organismos internacionais atuam como alguns dos principais sujeitos enunciadores de discursos que versam sobre as políticas de desenvolvimento urbano em escala global. Por este motivo, influenciam na tomada de decisão política e na prática de planejamento urbano em escala local. Este artigo objetiva compreender como e por que se deu a emergência de um discurso hegemônico relativo ao desenvolvimento urbano a partir da atuação de organismos internacionais. Para isto, se utilizou como dispositivo teórico-metodológico a Análise do Discurso em sua vertente francesa. O corpus analisado foi composto por exemplares de documentos que provém modelos e diretrizes sobre desenvolvimento urbano nesse ambiente de governança mundial. Os dados encontrados permitiram compreender que as estratégias discursivas destes sujeitos atuam sob uma ótica ideológica que justifica a existência de uma sociedade mundial que se reproduz e se difunde na acumulação de capital, solapando qualquer vestígio de pluralidade de pensamento em países de periferia capitalista.

Authors: Aquino Marilena , Serelli Anna Agnese
Published: April 2022

Numerous scientific evidences show that the social skills deficit is one of the main sources of discomfort for a psychotic patient, as it compromises the individual's ability to actively participate in society and to effectively manage different situations, be they personal, family or social. As reported by scientific research, all social behaviors can be learned and then modified thanks to experience and training. The approach centered on the enhancement of social skills, social skills training, includes a range of interventions aimed at acquiring and training the social skills necessary in interpersonal situations to communicate with others in an appropriate and effective way over time. This study therefore aims to detect the usefulness and effectiveness of Social Skills Training (SST) on adaptive social functions and on the personal and social functioning of the subjects examined. The sample is represented by 10 patients with psychotic syndromes belonging to the housing community "Borgo Sociale Regionale Roccabascerana", who participated in SST meetings. The "Social Skills Training for the treatment of schizophrenia" manual (A.S. Belleck, K.T. Mueser, S.Gingerich, J.Agresta) was used for the intervention. In order to assess the achievement of the intervention objectives, the FPS and S.A.F.E scales were administered at the beginning and end of treatment.
Development of Holistic Religious Tourism through Ancient Indian Technique of Yagya: Exploration With Ashwamedha Yagya

Religious tourism is one of the oldest forms of tourism and a rapidly expanding economy. Religious tourism to pilgrimage sites has existed since the dawn of time in every part of the world. People frequently went on pilgrimages despite journey inconveniences. Hence, it begs the question of the purpose of their visit and what makes their visit most efficient? The present study examined the purposes of religious tourism in the present times vs. Vedic times and proposed considerations for holistic religious tourism. For different purposes, tourists visit religious sites to obtain benefits i.e. 1) religious, 2) spiritual, 3) academic, and 4) pleasure purposes. However, this model of religious tourism is not holistic. In the Vedic model, pilgrimage sites should have religious-pious personalities and a spiritual environment for effectively guiding tourists for new resolutions in life holistic model. In addition, the pilgrimage should result in nation-building and social-cultural benefits besides building the economy. For the same purpose, spiritual practices like Yagyas and Ashwamedha were performed in Vedic times at pilgrimage sites resulting in a holistic model of religious tourism i.e. 1) pilgrimage site has Rishi like personalities, 2) tourists, locals aid in preserving natural resources, 3) culture and social upliftment resulted in nation-building. The core of keeping a holistic pilgrimage site was Yagya. Yagya is a core practice keeping Teerth alive. The Cultural campaign of Ashwamedha and live Teerth is capable of reversing the maladies that have entered public minds. The current study presents that the Ashwamedha Yagya can act as an important component of religious tourism and gives a newer dimension to religious tourism by providing holistic development of the participants at religious sites through Ashwamedha for national unity, peace, and harmony.

The Philosophy and Science of Yagya (Yajóa) lies at the core of the great values, vast expanse, and universal importance of the Indian Culture and the Vedic Science of holistic wellbeing. Yagya was an integral part of the spiritual teachings and research experiments in the Gurukuls in ancient India. It was also prominent in the cultural activities and ethno practices (for the maintenance of good health, and purity and protection of the environment) in the Indian Society till the Medieval Age. Despite substantial cultural devolution and loss of original texts of wisdom in the medieval times of destructive foreign invasions, substantial information on Yagya may still be found in the Indian scriptures available today. Though in distorted form, it is also practiced as an important sacrament (as “fire-ritual”/havan) in many sections of the Indian society till date. However, the wisdom and science of Yagya is completely missing from the streams of science and education. In concordance with the noble objectives of the Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidalaya (DSVV), the “Yagyavalkya Center for Yagya Research” of this university has initiated thorough interdisciplinary research and scientific experiments on Yagya for past three years. Towards advancement and expansion of this research, the centre had organized a one-day national symposium for a brain storming session and interaction among distinguished experts and researchers in different fields of medical, biological, chemical, and mathematical sciences, and engineering/technology. The symposium was held in the DSVV campus at Haridwar on December4, 2021. The present consensus paper outlines the background, purpose, and outcome of the symposium with a focus on the promising scope of advanced research on Yagya for holistic Health and a pure Environment.
Attention Mechanism and Sparse Low-Rank Modeling Based Neural Network for Data Augmentation of Through-the-Wall Radar Human Motion Recognition
Authors: Gao Weicheng , Lan Tian , Yang Xiaopeng , Qu Xiaodong
Published: April 2022

In order to better address the non-adaptability of image recognition algorithms on through-the-wall radar human motion data and the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by microwave penetration through walls, an attention mechanism and sparse low-rank modeling based neural network is proposed in this paper. The method combines information from physical background of moving target and vision characteristics of imaging to achieve effective suppression of wall clutter and noise as well as enhancement of motion feature. The super resolution of human motion feature is achieved by sparsely encoded learning iterative shrinkage thresholding (LISTA) module. The location of human behind the wall is obtained by an improved coordinate attention mechanism, which automatically calibrates the regions associated with human motion characteristics. Chunked output super-resolution information after attention mechanism and LISTA module is finally weighted and aggregated by the parallel adaptive weight module. Experiments demonstrate that a better SNR is achieved for image feature extraction, while the accuracy and the convergence speed of the existing classification algorithms is effectively raised.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the chronic diseases all over the world. The prevalence of diabetes is rapidly rising all over the globe at an alarming rate. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with disturbance of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both with an increased risk of neuropathy and other complications. Objective: To describe the clinical features and findings of nerve conduction study among the patients presented with diabetic neuropathy. Methods and Material: The study was conducted at the outpatient department of Uttara Crescent Hospital, Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Total 83 patients presented with a history of diabetes for 20 years and above and having features of neuropathy are included in this study. Patients who are suspected having neuropathy due to any other known cause were excluded from this study. Detail history regarding complaints of neuropathy was taken. History of symptoms like paraesthesia, tingling sensation, burning feet, hyperaesthesia, foot ulcer, history of weakness and gait abnormality was noted. Complete nervous system examination was performed and nerve conduction study was done. Results: Among the total 83 presented with neuropathy; the mean (±SD) age (Years) was 51.80 ((±10.24) with a range of 35-60 years (Fig-1). Out of total 83 patients, 60.24% (n=50) were male and 39.76% (32) were female. In our study we found that out of 83 patients 74 patients (89%) presented with tingling sensation at limbs, 52 patients (62.65%) had burning feet, 47 patients (56.63%) had diminished or loss of vibration sense, and 34 patients (41%) patients have diminished light touch. Above finding suggested that most patients presented with sensory symptoms. Out of 83 patients 42 patients (50.60%) had diminished ankle jerk and only 6 patients presented with foot ulcers. In this study out of 83 patients ...............

Primary Pulmonary (lung) Hemangiopericytoma is a very rare neoplasm. It is known to be malignant tumor [1]. Hemangiopericytoma is known to be more malignant when the disease site is lung compared to soft tissues. The tumor is almost asymptomatic but in advanced stage it becomes symptomatic. Symptoms are generally similar to other cancers of lung like shortness of breathlessness, dyspnea, cough, fever. Tumor is usually treated with surgical resection. Prognosis is usually controversial.
