EFFECT OF AGNIKARMA IN AMSAMARMA ABHIGHATA - TRAUMATIC PERI-ARTHRITIS OF THE SHOULDER JOINT- A CASE REPORT
Authors: V S Akhila , Nair C Raghunathan , C V Deepthi
Published: January 2025

Periarthritis of the shoulder joint is a condition characterised by disabling pain, inflammation, stiffness, and restriction of both active and passive movements of the shoulder joint. Among the factors suggested for the cause of
the disease, trauma is found to be one of them. Traumatic periarthritis of the shoulder joint may be correlated with
Amsamarma Abhighata due to similarity in clinical features such as Bahukriyaharam and Stabdabahutha. Acharya Susrutha mentioned that Agnikarma is effective in Ruja pertaining to Sira, Snayu, Sandhi and Asthigata Vikara. Amsamarma is a Snayu Marma and Acharya Susrutha has mentioned Dahanopakarana like Kshoudra, Guda,
Sneha for Agnikarma in Sira, Snayu, Sandhi, Asthi gata Vikara. In this study, a female patient 60 years was treated with Agnikarma to assess the effect of Agnikarma with Tila Taila in Amsamarma Abhighata - Traumatic periarthritis of shoulder joint. Agnikarma has properties like Vatakaphahara, Ushna, Sookshma, and Ashukari Guna,
which help relieve pain and stiffness instantly. Snigdha dravyas have deep heat penetration capacity with a greater
latent heat period. It is helpful in musculoskeletal disorders and can be done on an OPD basis. The assessment
was done on subjective parameter, pain and objective parameter like range of movements(Abduction). The patient
was assessed before and after treatment. Follow-up was done on the 7th, 15th and 30th day for 1 month.

Respiratory illness is more common in daily pediatric practice than other systemic diseases. Upper respiratory
tract infection accounts for more respiratory problems. Adenoid hypertrophy is found at the age of 3 to 6 years.
Viruses or Gram-positive bacteria cause most adenoiditis episodes. Children having adenoiditis present with
chronic mouth breathing, nasal obstruction, hypo-nasal speech, repeated cold, loud snoring, abnormal sleep positions, etc. Ayurvedic management plays the most crucial role in Adenoiditis. According to Ayurvedic Chikitsa,
Nidan parivarjana and treatment (Nasya) help equally in this case.
LA RETRODATAZIONE DEL SOSTANTIVO “RISOTTO” E LE VOCI “ORZOTTO” E “FARROTTO”: L’EREDITÀ NASCOSTA DEL DIALETTO
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology, Barbi Maurizio N.
Published: January 2025

Il sostantivo risotto, secondo il corpus di vocabolari (Bazzanella 2008: 91) osservato, ad oggi presenta attestazioni al 1829 o posteriori. Questo anno coincide con quello registrato nel DELI (2009: 1076). L’attestazione ottocentesca di risotto è accreditata anche in letteratura (Frosini 2009: 98), ma attraverso la nostra ricerca abbiamo individuato una fonte che retrodata risotto di quasi quattro decenni (Albertazzi 1790: 46) e che è stata ritenuta attendibile dai lessicografi del voca- bolario Zingarelli. L’origine dialettale di risotto (risòtt), attestata in Beccaria (2011: 25), è riconducibile alla Lombardia (Aprile 2005:116; Papini 1977: 108; Zolli 1986: 11; De Mauro 2008: 191) e in parti- colare all’area milanese (Zolli 1986: 44; GDLI 1961/2018: 848). Ma il volume piemontese di Albertazzi (1790) potrebbe però insinuare dubbi sull’origine lombarda di risotto, unanimemente accreditata in lette- ratura e registrata, come risott, da Cherubini (1814: 98). Inoltre, una fonte napoletana antecedente (Corrado 1773: 157) attesta l’esistenza e l’ampia diffusione del riso Alla Milanese, senza però ricorrere all’a- dattamento risotto (Shukla e Connor-Linton 2008: 52; Adamo e Della Valle 2018: 70-71). Nella nostra ricerca, infine, osserviamo un signi- ficato di risotto oggi espunto, ma anche il modello che questa voce rappresenta per la formazione dei sostantivi orzotto e farrotto, nei quali possiamo individuare l’eredità dialettale racchiusa in risotto. Le due voci in questione, da noi suggerite ai lessicografi dello Zingarelli, sono state registrate rispettivamente nelle ristampe 2022 e 2024 di questo prestigioso vocabolario e presentano una discreta diffusione anche oltre i confini nazionali.
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN ЕNGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES: AFFECTIVE OUTCOMES
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia, Ošmjanski Vera V.
Published: January 2025

This cross-sectional study examines the affective learning outcomes of implementing project-based learning (PBL) activities in the English for Specific Purpose (ESP) course in order to determine whether there is a rationale for incorporating PBL as a fundamental component of ESP instruction. The examined group comprised of 48 second-year students at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. The gathered data were subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis. The findings corroborate the initial hypothesis that the introduction of project-based activities in the ESP course yields favourable results for students in terms of their proficiency in both subject matter and language acquisition. The results indicate that project work is perceived to be particularly beneficial for the development of the following skills: speaking, listening, presentation, communication, research, and team- work. The main drawback identified is the imbalance of commitment among team members, leading to task allocation issues and conflicts within teams. The paper emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift, so that the project-based learning becomes a practical reality in higher education ESP courses.
SEKURITIZACIJA KAO GOVORNI ČIN I KONSTRUKT
Authors: Matijašević Martin
Published: January 2025

Throughout history, there has been a need for an explanation of securitization as well
as the answer to the question of whether it, as a speech act, is always or often considered
manipulation or not. Many authors have dealt with different approaches in researching the
theory of securitization. The theory of securitization, developed within the framework of the

Copenhagen School of Security Studies, has on several occasions been brought into connec-
tion with political theories whose definition of political discourse is considered as an area of

exception and state of emergency, similar to the understanding of security in the theory of
securitization, in which it is the field that breaks with the established rules of the game, by
obtaining legitimacy for the implementation of special measures. In this paper, we explain
that securitization as a speech act can be considered a basic construct of manipulation. The
thesis that securitization is a means of manipulation has been advocated by many theorists.
As securitization relies on linguistic theories of speech acts, speech interpretation, and text
observation yield a series of logically connected constructs, which contain many hidden or
overt manipulative messages. Since the text is a multidimensional communication unit, and
its functions are expressive, informative, and directive, a text with a political or security theme
can be perceived as a means of achieving goals with the help of manipulation as a basic means.
Political speech has become the interest of many scholars and has been widely analyzed in
various fields of study. The process of securitization has been studied in a number of contexts
such as immigration policies, environmental issues, or nuclear issues. Ole Weaver and Barry
Busan are among those scholars whose main findings of the research are presented strategies
of legitimization, including the linguistic constellation of existential threat, the allusion to
a hypothetical future, and the exploitation of emotional trauma. Furthermore, the findings
reveal that securitization occurred in the analyzed speeches.
KA POETICI NOVOG REALIZMA: PROZA VLADIMIRA ARSENIJEVIĆA
Authors:   Institute for Literature and Arts, Belgrade, Serbia, Bajčeta Vladan S.
Published: January 2025

The text analyzes the prose oeuvre of Vladimir Arsenijević, whose previous literary work
is largely limited to his successful novelistic debut U potpalublju (1994). The NIN award to
an unknown and, until then, youngest author in the history of the prize, affected the writer’s
specific reputation, which left many of his later titles practically in the shadow. However, in
addition to the already completed tetralogy, the first part of which is the aforementioned novel
– and there are also the titles Anđela (1997), Ka granici (2018), Duhovi (2023) – Arsenijević
wrote works such as Let (2013) and Ovo nije veselo mesto (2014). These are books that have
been completely wrongly evaluated so far, or have been completely silenced, even though they
represent a significant contribution to contemporary Serbian literature in terms of their reach.
Both the comic novel Išmail (2004), as well as the experimental novel Predator (2008), make
Arsenijević a writer irreducible to the author of only one important literary work. Almost
completely turning away from the legacy of postmodernist poetic strategies, Arsenijević
headed towards the poetics of neorealist tendencies, which, among other things, is discussed
in this paper.
HADŽILUK U SRCE MEDITERANA – BARI U DELU BORISA MAKSIMOVIĆA
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Serbia, Pejić Marija M.
Published: January 2025

Since Italy has always been a frequent destination for travelers and has become a particular
source of inspiration for authors, special attention is drawn to the book by Boris Maksimović,
a young author from Banja Luka, Hadžiluk plemenitom snu, as in several chapters he records
his impressions from travels across Apennine peninsula, offering readers, among other things,
a detailed portrayal of the city of Bari. Adhering to the author’s premise from the chapter

title that Bari is a story of saints and migrants, this paper examines the methods and tech-
niques through which the author presents this southern city, with particular attention paid to

a comparative analysis of Italian and Balkan cultures. Considering the author’s understanding
of travel, we will aim to examine and present in more detail the common elements of these
two cultural models, as well as how Maksimović subordinates them to the dominant and more
encompassing Mediterranean culture.

Authors: Hassan Nor Ashikin , Kahar Zamri Abd. , Md Nadzalan Ali , Low Jeffrey Fook Lee , Nor Azmi Abd Muiz , Pratama Rivan Saghita , Purwoto Septyaningrum Putri
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Currently, most research on RAE in sports is focused on youth and top levels, leaving university athletes, especially in Malaysia, with very little information to work
Objective: This study aims to investigate the RAE in more depth by adding variables such as gender, sports category, and the type of higher education school (IPTS/IPTA).
Methodology: A quantitative research strategy was used with 4,683 athlete birth dates. The chi-square test showed that SUKIPT 2022 athletes had a high rate of RAE.
Results: The distribution of athletes' birth dates over the four quarters of the year exhibited a substantial imbalance, as seen by the chi-square statistic (χ2 (3, N = 4683) = 59.618, p =< .001; V = 0.080). The data shows a strong RAE among players born in the fourth quarter, which could mean an RAE bias. The study also found that RAE was common among all genders and in various sports, including IPTA players. However, there was interesting RAE seen in athletes from private universities (IPTS) (χ2 (3, N = 1372) = 5.429, p =.143).
Discussion: The results validate the presence of the RAE within the population of university athletes, indicating that variances in development could potentially impact the selection and performance of athletes. This study enhances the comprehension of the RAE within the university sports domain. It establishes a basis for forthcoming research endeavours to investigate approaches to alleviate RAE and foster equitable athlete growth and selection.
Conclusions: The frequency of RAE in athletes competing for the university at the 2022 Higher Education Institution Games (SUKIPT).

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the PINTAR application, a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platform designed to support the training of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) within the West Sumatra Ministry of Religion. Using the ITIL V4 framework, this research assesses service quality, user satisfaction levels, and identifies areas that require improvement to ensure applications can provide optimal benefits. Evaluation is carried out through direct observation of application use, in-depth interviews with stakeholders, and distributing questionnaires to users.
The research results show that the PINTAR application has met most of the service quality standards, especially in terms of accessibility, relevance of training materials and interactive features offered. However, there are several weaknesses that need to be corrected, such as limited transparency in managing user data, a lack of regular service evaluations, and the responsiveness of technical support which is still not optimal. Users highly appreciate the time flexibility, ease of navigation, and interactive features such as learning simulations and live sessions with expert instructors. On the other hand, the survey also revealed the need to strengthen technological infrastructure and increase the competence of technical support teams to handle user complaints more effectively. By applying ITIL V4 principles, this research offers strategic recommendations for further development of the PINTAR application. Recommended improvement steps include increasing governance transparency, additional training for technical teams, development of more sophisticated reporting features, and regular evaluation of training materials. In conclusion, although the PINTAR application has made a significant contribution in supporting ASN training, continuous improvement efforts are needed to ensure this application can continue to be relevant and provide maximum added value for users.

Published: January 2025

Coffee rust resistance is of great importance in worldwide coffee crops, since its biotrophic pathogen shows, currently, more than 55 identified races with diverse virulent genes. This work was based on the determination of the reaction of five commercial coffee cultivars inoculated, under controlled conditions, with three starins of Hemileia vastatrix (race XXXIX and pathotypes Hv01ve and Hv02ve) previously identified in Venezuela. Three velvet leaves taken from three selected plants of five cultivars (Caturra, Catuai amarillo, Monteclaro, Colombia 27 y Castillo) were inoculated with 80 μL of a uredospore dilution (5 x 105 uredospores.mL-1), and incubated at 22 °C +/- 2 °C and 12 h light photoperiod. Incubation period, latency period, infection grade, number of initial lesions, number of sporulated lesions, area of lesion, and area of sporulated lesion were the variables used for evaluation. Results showed that number of initial lesion, number of sporulated lesion and area of sporulated lesión allowed to determine the presence of incomplete resistance in Castillo to race XXXIX, Castillo, Catuai and Colombia 27 to Hv01ve, and Monteclaro to Hv02ve, trials also showed possible complete resistance in Monteclaro to race XXXIX and Colombia 27 to Hv02ve. It is suggested that these results to be taken into account when selecting the coffee cultivars to be planted.

Bisphosphonates are a class of drugs extensively used in the management of numerous conditions. In patients with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis
of the jaws, surgical interventions on bone tissue often exacerbate the condition. Alternative treatment methods, including laser and ozone therapies, are
being explored to mitigate the adverse effects of bisphosphonates.
Our study was a prospective, randomized, and controlled trial. Total of 80 female Wistar rats were utilized in the study. The animals were divided into five
groups. Rats were measured for intravenous zoledronic acid administration. Histopathological evaluations were conducted to assess new bone formation
and inflammation intensity within the extraction sockets.
While there is a statistically significant difference between the groups regarding ossification rates on the 7th day, there is no statistically significant difference
between the groups on the 14th day. At the end of the seventh day, no statistically significant difference in inflammation scores. At the end of the 14th day,
there was a statistically significant difference between the groups regarding inflammation scores.
These findings suggest that laser and ozone therapies enhance new bone formation over the long term and mitigate the adverse effects of bisphosphonates in rats.

Mission-critical applications demand robust and reliable database management. This paper examines key strategies for Database Administrators
(DBAs) managing these applications in the cloud. We discuss critical aspects such as performance optimization through sharding, replication, and
read replicas. We also explore strategies for ensuring high availability and disaster recovery, including leveraging cloud-native services like autoscaling and failover mechanisms. Furthermore, we delve into critical security considerations, including data encryption, access control, and threat
detection. Finally, we analyze best practices for optimizing cloud database costs while maintaining performance and reliability. This Paper explores
as cloud-based infrastructures continue to change, a deep understanding of the differences between SQL databases, such as MySQL, SQL Server,
RedShift, PostgreSQL, and Oracle, and NoSQL solutions, such as MongoDB, Cassandra, and DynamoDB, a prerequisite to design to manage systems

Жилищное строительство в Узбекистане было одной из важных отраслей народного хозяйства и основывалось на социалистических принципах, при этом строительство осуществляло в основном государство. Во время индустриализации СССР была сделана ставка на промышленное строительство, поэтому объёмы строительства жилья были невелики и значительную долю в них составляло временное жильё, так называемые бараки. В статье анализируются проблемы планирования жильного строительства в Узбекистане в 1940-1960-е годы.
