A tanulmány igyekszik felvázolni „a diákvédő professzor” portréját.
„... a kolozsvári hagyományok alapján...” Buday Árpád, a szegedi Archaeologiai Intézet alapítója
Authors: Pintér-Nagy Katalin
Published: October 2022

A Kolozsvárról Szegedre költözött egyetemre 1924-ben kinevezett Buday Árpádnak és munkatársának, Banner Jánosnak alapjaitól kellett felépíteni az Archaeologiai Intézetet. A római koros régész Buday érdeklődésétől az Alföld régészeti emlékei eléggé távol álltak, ezért elsődleges feladatának azt tekintette, hogy előteremtse az intézet munkájához szükséges anyagi és infrastrukturális hátteret. A szegedi intézetnek három fő alapfeladatát határozta meg: a tanárképzésben és az ismeretterjesztésben való aktív részvétel, elméleti és gyakorlati ismeretekkel egyaránt felvértezett régészek, muzeológusok képzése, valamint tudományos kutatások végzése a Dél-Alföldön. Buday több szempontból is egykori mestere nyomdokaiba lépett, számos ponton folytatta Pósta megkezdett munkáját, több tekintetben átvette oktatói és intézetvezetői vívmányait, módszereit.
Akik távollétükben sem tudtak elszakadni Erdélytől : Buday Árpád, Buday György és Buday Kálmán kolozsvári emlékezete
Authors: Cseke Péter
Published: October 2022

A nyolcvanas évek elején, amikor az esszéíró és művelődésszervező Jancsó Béla (1903–1967) lakását a húga felszámolta, kevesen tudtak arról, hogy milyen értékes irodalom- és művelődéstörténeti örökséget rejt a Monostori útra néző szoba, illetve a mély kapubejárat jobb oldali falába épített – „titokzatos” – vaspántos szekrény. Padlóra szórt levelek, levélmásolatok, kéziratok, újságkivágatok látványa fogadott, amikor Debreczeni László telefonhívására – kérésének megfelelően: jókora bőrönddel – a „lerobbant” lakásban megjelentem. Hogy kikkel állt levelezésben Jancsó Béla? A távollétében Erdélytől elszakadni sosem tudó Buday Árpád régészprofesszor, Buday György világhírű grafikus és a fiatalon elhunyt Buday Kálmán történész levelei már kezdettől felkeltették érdeklődésemet. Később tudtam meg, hogy Buday Árpád nemzetközi tekintélyű régésznek számított már kolozsvári működése idején. Nagyobbik fiából is régészt szeretett volna nevelni, ezért állandóan magával vitte terepjárásaira. Ha az apát a régmúlt korok kultúrája ejtette ámulatba, a fiút a tájélmény varázsa, a korabeli népi élet gazdagsága ragadta meg. Hanem ez a varázs idő előtt megtörött. Az idegen nyelveken levelező tudós felkelti a román hatóságok gyanakvását: kémtevékenységgel vádolják, rövid időre le is tartóztatják, szakmáját nem folytathatja. Többévi egzisztenciális küzdelem és hetekig tartó vagonutazás után „jövevényként” érkezik meg 1924 őszén családjával Szegedre, a Kolozsvárról átköltözött egyetemi tanárok kolóniájára. Buday Árpád mind Kolozsváron, mind szegedi tanulmányévei alatt mentora volt Jancsó Bélának; amikor diplomája nosztrifikálása érdekében vissza kellett térnie Kolozsvárra, fiatal joghallgató barátjára bízta a Szegeden tanuló erdélyi ifjak Bethlen Gábor Körének gondjait; Buday Kálmán pedig állandó „téma” volt kettejük levelezésében.

A barokktól a neobarokkig : A marosvásárhelyi Rózsák tere 52. szám alatti ház történetéből
Authors: Orbán János
Published: October 2022

A Rózsák tere 52. szám alatt napjainkban álló ház két régebbi telek egyesítését követően épült. Az északi, Kisköz melletti telken 1770 körül Teleki Imre királyi táblai ülnök építtetett emeletes házat, mely báró Bánffy Józsefné, majd Kováts István gyógyszerész után az örmény eredetű Gáspár család tulajdonába került, akik az 1870-es években megvásárolták a 18. század végén még Jánó Zsigmond által bírt szomszéd házat is. A két telken aztán Gáspár Gyula kereskedő, a korondi fürdő tulajdonosa emeltette Szarvadi Mihály építőmesterrel a mai épületet 1897-ben, belefoglalva a Teleki-féle régit. Igényes homlokzati plasztikája (mely akár a fiatal Székely Károly szobrász munkája is lehet) a helyi neobarokk építészet jelentős emlékévé avatja.

A szoborállítás kezdeményezője, valamint az 1870-ben megalakult szoborbizottság elnöke Lázár Ádám (1821–1891) ügyvéd, a helyi politikai és kulturális élet aktív szervezője, a város függetlenségi párti országgyűlési képviselője volt.
Thermal Performance Hybrid Optimization of Natural Gas Hydrate Wellbore
Authors: Gorbachev Sergey , Gusev Boris , Kuzin Victor , Xie Shengli , Yue Dong
Published: October 2022

Studies show that there are massive gas hydrate reservoirs in offshore deepwater seabed. The main challenge of exploiting these resources is THE high-cost transportation of the extracted gas to the onshore facilities. Moreover, adjusting the temperature near the wellbore is another challenge to prevent regeneration of gas hydrate during extraction. Therefore, the hybrid analysis of the finite difference method and the enthalpy method is used to get a synergistic effect in order to realize the effective thermal property output. To analyze the transient heat transfer process, a 2D model is developed to simulate the wellbore area. Moreover, different materials are used for insulation and the corresponding thermal performances are calculated using the enthalpy method. The obtained results show that the soil surrounding the wellbore performs as an insulator. Adding an insulation layer outside the wellbore can effectively enhance the exit temperature. Moreover, the model indicates that the fluid holding time can be dramatically extended using the microphase change materials (MPCM) as an insulation layer.

Published: October 2022

Non-consumable electrode welding is widely used in manufacture, construction and other areas. Despite progress in welding technology and the emergence of new methods of joining materials, non-consumable electrode welding is confidently occupying its niche in the production area. In this work we consider the problem of optimal design in non-consumable electrode welding based on the solution of the inverse heat transfer problem by means of parallel computations. Heat transfer problem is solved by finite difference method for orthogonal geometry in transient mode. Authors used their own program, called the “Welding engineer virtual workplace” which is developed in Matlab. In this work we present the basis for solving the inverse heat transfer problem and an algorithm of parallel searching for the optimal technological parameters of the non-consumable electrode welding. The final result of design is based on a collective decision-making approach.

Published: October 2022

The work solves the problem of comprehensive hybrid analysis of the state of the alloy material during machining by a moving electric arc heating source. The main stages of solving the problem include creating a numerical 3D model of thermophysical processes in the alloy material under the action of an electric arc, calculation of thermophysical characteristics of the alloy material and analysis of its state diagram, experimental validation of the calculated methodology. A special algorithm was developed to understand (data mining) the complex multi-cycle dynamics of thermal fields in a wide temperature range. This algorithm made it possible to record multiple cyclic states of the treated materials (heating - melting - evaporation - cooling - crystallization and formation of new phases) and to determine their geometry in the volume. At the last stage of the study, computer experiments were reproduced in reality. We obtained a good agreement between the calculated and in-situ experiments.

Published: October 2022

One of the most crucial abilities in the face of global issues is creativity. Because of this, research on creativity is always intriguing, especially in the context of mathematics education. Two investigations pertaining to original mathematical models are presented in this paper. The first study had 72 primary school instructors who took part in enhancing mathematical learning. Participants given open challenges with cube net material. Out of 137 high school students that consistently responded, 124 were included in the second study. Two descriptive statistical issues affect secondary school students. After a thorough interview to understand the subject’s thought process, the results of the problem-solving process were used to support the subject’s stance using an original mathematical model. Impersonation, adaptation, and building make up the creative model’s structure. The findings demonstrate the consistency of mathematical creativity model properties. The subject only imitates a successful routine method due to the level of imitation. According to the characteristics of the level of modification, the subject is able to alter the methods discovered in order to meet the difficulties at hand. The hallmarks of the creation level are that they develop novel, rational, and methodical approaches to problem-solving. Based on the findings of this study, a new method of learning mathematics was devised. The open-ended activities that have been packed into the form of a mathematical tree are utilized, together with the strategic approach to problem-posing.
Perspective Chapter: Options to Violence in Mass Movements – A Prospectus for Mobilization
Authors: Koivukoski Toivo
Published: October 2022

Mass movements in the early twenty-first century have taken on a remarkable significance not only in influencing governments and bringing down authoritarian regimes but in demonstrating what more fulsome forms of democratic association could look like. This essay seeks to identify parallel trajectories of contemporary mass movements in terms of common purposes of autonomous participation of people in the decisions that frame their lives, and in the specific modes of organization that have been shared between movements. Between these overlapping ends and means, public spaces for collective deliberation are opened up where the security state and capitalist accumulation have otherwise come to dominate.
Land Use Impacts on Diversity and Abundance of Insect Species
Authors: Olarewaju John Akinbi , Akinlolu Sylvester Akinbowale , Olalekan Kehinde Ajayi , Abiodun Michael Agbeje
Published: October 2022

Land use is a major constraint to the population of insect species. Insects have provided essential and irreplaceable services ranging from pollination to decomposition of large organic matters. However, these roles provided have been jettisoned as a result of human anthropogenic activities. In recent times, the conversion of existing natural forest ecosystem to other land use types has become a menace that requires urgent attention due to its effects on the population of plant and animal species. Many factors such as land-use changes, deforestation, pollution, intensive agriculture, among others have been reported to contribute to the decline in the population of insect species. As a result of changes, insects are threatened and vulnerable to extinction. Loss of key stone species also affects the function, structure and population of other species in the ecosystem. This is because of the level of inter-dependency between these insect species and other components of natural forest ecosystem. Such losses lead to the decline in ecosystem goods and services which human depends on for sustenance. Apart from decline in all levels of biodiversity, land use also causes climate change and environmental pollution which in turns affects the population of insect species. However, protection of area of high biodiversity hotspots should be encouraged by resources managers. Also natural forest that has been disturbed should be left alone in order to recuperate and get back to its original state.
Liquid Extraction for Flavor and Fragrance Analyses in Consumer Products

Published: October 2022

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is a powerful tool to analyze flavor and fragrance from raw materials to the final commercial products. During the development of new technologies, most focuses have been given to novel columns, advanced detectors, and automation designs to leverage the instrument capabilities. The fundamental factors including polarity impact on sample homogenization and chemical interaction between analytes and extraction solvents are not equally emphasized during the sampling procedures. The current project focused on the liquid extraction procedures prior to GCMS analysis. Significant nucleophilic reactions were found to take place when a water-ethanol solvent was tried to extract flavor and fragrance ingredients. The isooctane in water-isooctane extraction system is friendly with GC columns and effective to extract the volatiles. However, the surfactants, humectants, and polymers in consumer cleaning products have significant impact on analyte distribution between water and isooctane solvents. The enhanced solubility of certain ingredients in water phase will change their profiling information in isooctane. During such extractions, hydrophilic volatile ingredients can be missed and the results become unreliable. For this reason, a newly designed water-n-propanol-isooctane extraction system was compared. This one-phase sample solution follows the homogenization rule in analytical chemistry and be more representative to the original samples.
Complications of Multiple Pregnancy: Conception to Delivery
Authors: Mashamba Tshililo
Published: October 2022

Multiple pregnancy is a condition where more than one fetus occupy the same intrauterine cavity. By means of its rarity in spontaneous pregnancies, it indicates that that by nature the human female uterus is programmed to carry one fetus at a time. The incidence of multiple pregnancy is on the increase because of fertility treatment especially assisted reproductive technology. Unfortunately, multiple pregnancy is associated with several complications from conception until the postpartum period. Maternal uterine anomalies also pose special challenges if associated with multiple pregnancy from diagnosis until management. Miscarriages are higher and some of them are not noticed if the pregnancy continues with one fetus. There are complications related to uterine space like preterm labour which is the commonest. Rupture of membranes with or without preterm labour is also common. Monochorionic multiple pregnancies poses specific challenges in respect to abnormalities during organogenesis from embryonal to vascular malformations. Fetus growth discordance and single twin demise are uncommon but challenging.
The Role of Oocyte Cryopreservation in Assisted Reproduction
Authors: J. Gelety Timothy
Published: October 2022

Oocyte cryopreservation (OC) has progressed rapidly from an experimental procedure with limited success to a clinically accepted procedure, in large part due to significant improvements in the techniques and widespread laboratory adaptation of vitrification. With significant improvements in clinical outcome, elective oocyte cryopreservation has gained in popularity as a means of overcoming diminishing ovarian reserve associated with aging. With clinical pregnancy rates equal to utilizing retrieved oocytes, oocyte cryopreservation is being increasingly utilized as an adjunct to standard IVF and now plays a significant role in egg donation with the establishment of egg banks analogous to sperm banks. Continuing research and clinical experience will be instrumental in defining the role of OC going forward.

Self-Powering Wireless Sensor Networks in the Oil and Gas Industry
Authors: Zarog Musaab
Published: October 2022

The total revenue from the oil and gas industry in 2019 was 3 trillion dollars with nearly 350,000 businesses working in this field. For more efficiency, all machinery and equipment, including thousands of kilometers of transporting pipelines, need to be monitored continuously and in real time. Hundreds or even thousands of sensing and control nodes are needed for the oil and gas industry. WSNs approach has allowed the company to reduce the number of antenna towers and masts at remote sites, which accounts for 40–60% of the infrastructure cost of building a wireless digital oilfield network. A conventional solution to power these nodes is the use of electrochemical batteries. However, problems can occur using batteries due to their finite lifespan. The need for constant replacement in remote locations can become a very expensive or even impossible task. Over the last years, ambient energy harvesters have received great attention, including vibration-to-electric energy conversion. The aim of this chapter is to present the usefulness of implementing IoT and self-powered WSNs in the oil and gas sector, as well as challenges and issues related to adopting such a system.

Hepatic Lipid Homeostasis in NAFLD
Authors: Zhang Shuo , Ji Bing , Yang Changqing , Yang Li
Published: October 2022

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common liver disease, affecting 25% of world population. Hepatic steatosis has 60–90% prevalence among obese patients. It is also associated with multitude of detrimental effects and increased mortality. This narrative chapter investigates hepatic lipid homeostasis in NAFLD, focusing on the four molecular pathways of hepatic steatosis to lipid homeostasis in the liver. Hepatic steatosis is a consequence of lipid acquisition pathways exceeding lipid disposal pathways. In NAFLD, hepatic uptake of fatty acids and de novo lipogenesis surpass fatty acid oxidation and lipid export. The imbalance of the hepatic lipid may promote cellular damage by inducing oxidative stress in peroxisomes and cytochromes, especially with compromised mitochondrial function. Lipid export may even decrease with disease progression, sustaining the accumulation of lipids. NAFLD has a complex molecular mechanism regulating hepatic lipid homeostasis. Thus, as well as inter-individual differences, any intervention targeting one or more pathway is likely to have consequences on multiple cellular signaling pathways. We should be taken into careful consideration when developing future treatment options for NAFLD.

Published: October 2022

Background: There are scarce Iranian and worldwide research articles on designing the questionnaires of the factors influencing violence prevention. This indicates the need to design a specific questionnaire on factors affecting violence prevention and examine its psychometric properties before using it. Objectives: The present study aimed to design and evaluate psychometric properties (the reliability and validity) of factors affecting violence prevention questionnaire in female students. Methods: The current psychometric research was conducted in Rudsar, Iran during 2017 - 2018. In the first part (designing the questionnaire), data were collected from 50 participants by purposive sampling and using Waltz methodology. In the second part (evaluating psychometric properties of the questionnaire). The validity of the questionnaire was assessed using face, content, and structural validities. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha and intra-class correlation coefficient, and SPSS 20 software was used for data analysis. Results: The initial version of the questionnaire was designed with 212 items. After confirming the validity and reliability, the second version of the questionnaire was extracted with 56 items with an impact score of > 1.5 for all 56 items, the mean CVI = 0.94, and the mean CVR = 0.88. Concerning construct validity, 48 items were extracted with a predictive power of 38.16 based on exploratory factor analysis. The Internal Consistency of Reliability (α = 0.88; ICC = 0.92) was also confirmed. Conclusions: In general, the questionnaire represented acceptable reliability and validity for use in the student population. Therefore, the present questionnaire can predict the risk of violence against female adolescents.

Published: October 2022

Background: Since the incidence of food adulteration is rising, finding a rapid, accurate, precise, low-cost, user-friendly, high-throughput, ruggedized, and ideally portable method is valuable to combat food fraud. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), in combination with a chemometrics-based approach, allows potentially rapid, frequent, and in situ measurements in supply chains. Methods: This study focused on the feasibility of a benchtop Fourier-transformation-NIRS apparatus (FT-NIRS, 1000 - 2500 nm) and a portable short wave NIRS device (SW-NIRS, 740 - 1070 nm) for the discrimination of genuine and citric acid-adulterated lime juice samples in a cost-effective manner following chemometrics study. Results: Principal component analysis (PCA) of the spectral data resulted in a noticeable distinction between genuine and adulterated samples. Wavelengths between 1100 - 1400 nm and ‎‎1550 - 1900 nm were found to be more important for the discrimination of samples for the benchtop FT-NIRS data, while variables between 950 - 1050 nm contributed significantly to the discrimination of samples based on the portable SW-NIRS data. Following partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) as a discriminant model, standard normal variate (SNV) or multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) transformation of benchtop FT-NIRS data and SNV in combination with the second derivative transformation of portable SW-NIRS data on the training set delivered equal accuracy (94%) in the prediction of the test set. In the soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) as a class-modeling approach, the overall performances of generated models on the auto-scaled data were 98% and 94.5% for benchtop FT-NIRS and portable SW-NIRS, respectively. Conclusions: As a proof of concept, NIRS technology coupled with appropriate ‎multivariate classification models enables fast detection of citric acid-adulterated ‎lime juices. In addition, the promising results of portable SW-NIRS combined with SIMCA indicated its use as a screening tool for on-site analysis of lime juices at various stages of the food supply chain.
Debut with psychotic symptoms of Hashimoto encephalopathy: A case report
Authors: Ortiz Arce Angela Daniela , Sánchez-Rueda Henry
Published: October 2022

Hashimoto’s encephalopathy is a rare disease, first reported in 1966, with a prevalence of 2.1 in 1000 inhabitants. We present the case of a 42- year- old woman, with no relevant medical history, who suddenly started having symptoms of altered consciousness, visual hallucinations and de-lusions. Laboratory tests showed anti- thyroperoxidase antibodies greater than 600 U/ml, thy-roxin 0.93 U/ml, and thyroid stimulating hormone 1.60 U/ml. Magnetic resonance imaging showed bilateral subcortical focal lesions with a nonspecific demyelinating appearance. The electroencephalogram was nonspecific. The diagnosis of Hashimoto encephalopathy was made, and symptoms remitted after treatment with steroids. This article highlights the importance of conducting a comprehensive evaluation of patients with atypical psychiatric symptoms and a thorough differential diagnosis.
Who Speaks in Memory? Self-Reference, Life-Story, and the Autobiography-Game in Vladimir Nabokov’s Speak, Memory
Authors: Ramin Zohreh , Nazockdast Sara
Published: October 2022

As best evidences of our narrative identity language-games, autobiographies unveil the illusive power of language in purporting a unitary self. Drawing upon Ludwig Wittgenstein’s no-reference view of “I” and studying its use as a necessary formal tie in autobiographical memory, it is contended that sense of self through time is constituted in narrating and being narrated in memories. It is argued that Vladimir Nabokov’s Speak, Memory illustrates the lack of reference of the first-person pronoun in autobiographical memory, its formal and inventive emergence, and its diversity in narrative compositions. As the title hints, the self does not speak in memory; it is spoken in autobiographical lan- guage-games of composition.
El violador es la verdad del grupo: sicopolítica de la violencia sexual en los centros de tortura (Chile, 1974-1976)
Authors: Pavez Ojeda Jorge
Published: October 2022

Objective/Context: To propose an analytical reading of histories about the political-sexual violence unleashed in torture centers of the secret police (National Intelligence Directorate - dina) during the dictatorship in Chile (especially the period 1974-1976). The analysis unveils the psychosocial mechanisms of sadism that characterized the protagonists of this sexual violence. Methodology: The research is based on the monitoring and discursive analysis of “false” testimonies offered by some known torturers (Osvaldo Romo, Miguel Krassnoff, Ingrid Olderock) and disclosed in printed publications, audiovisual records and judicial documents released between 1990 (at the beginning of the first civilian transitional government) and 2014 (when the first lawsuits for sexual torture were filed). Originality: the article offers a psycho-political interpretation of political-sexual violence, presented as a product of a sadistic prostituting institution. It shows how this institution was operated by torturers whose “truth” was that of the perverse social and sexual contract of the dictatorship: a truth that also emerged regarding the “pact of silence” and denialism concealment in the mismatches implicit in their discourses. Conclusions: The analysis allows us to conclude that the socio-sexual contract of the dictatorship needed to foster, capture and feed on the sadism of the subjects hired as secret agents. It also shows how this contract normalized the sadistic apathos and the sexualized cruelty unleashed in spaces of exception (the clandestine detention and torture centers), from which the “normality” outside those spaces was imposed and reinforced as a project of authoritarian patriarchal domination.

Adolescence is a stage of fast growth and development. Exposures during puberty can have long-term effects on health in later life. This study aims to investigate the role of adolescent lifestyle in biological aging. The study participants originated from the longitudinal FinnTwin12 study (n = 5114). Adolescent lifestyle-related factors, including body mass index (BMI), leisure-time physical activity, smoking and alcohol use, were based on self-reports and measured at ages 12, 14 and 17 years. For a subsample, blood-based DNA methylation (DNAm) was used to assess biological aging with six epigenetic aging measures in young adulthood (21–25 years, n = 824). A latent class analysis was conducted to identify patterns of lifestyle behaviors in adolescence, and differences between the subgroups in later biological aging were studied. Genetic and environmental influences on biological aging shared with lifestyle behavior patterns were estimated using quantitative genetic modelling.We identified five subgroups of participants with different adolescent lifestyle behavior patterns. When DNAm GrimAge, DunedinPoAm and DunedinPACE estimators were used, the class with the unhealthiest lifestyle and the class of participants with high BMI were biologically older than the classes with healthier lifestyle habits. The differences in lifestyle-related factors were maintained into young adulthood. Most of the variation in biological aging shared with adolescent lifestyle was explained by common genetic factors. These findings suggest that an unhealthy lifestyle during pubertal years is associated with accelerated biological aging in young adulthood. Genetic pleiotropy can largely explain the observed associations.
En-masse Distalisation of Mandibular Dentition with Ramal Miniplate for Correction of Class III Malocclusion: A Case Report

Published: October 2022

Mandibular arch distalisation is a non extraction camouflage treatment modality for class III malocclusion, and the introduction of skeletal anchorage devices has enabled its use with minimal patient compliance and reciprocal side effects. The aim of this case report was to show the efficacy of the retromolar fossa as a suitable skeletal anchorage site for mandibular dentition distalisation. Inter-radicular miniscrews are the most commonly used forms of skeletal anchorage; however, they are often problematic in the mandible because of their high failure rate in the posterior region. In order to avoid these issues, some clinicians place miniscrews extraradicularly in the buccal shelf area or in the retromolar area. This approach is demonstrated through a case report of an 18- years-old male patient with a chief complaint of extra teeth and spacing in the upper front teeth. The diagnosis formulated was a Class III skeletal pattern, anterior divergence, Angle’s Class III malocclusion with an edge-to-edge bite and presence of mesiodens in the premaxillary region. The treatment approach was to use skeletal anchorage to distalize the mandibular arch with ramal plates after extraction of the mandibular third molars, since the patient refused the surgical treatment. At the 1 year follow-up appointment, there was no noticeable relapse or signs or symptoms of adverse effects like gingival recession, mobility and bone loss.

Authors: Salunke Kiran L. , CJ Shimi Ben
Published: October 2022

Peripheral Artery disease (PAD) is one of the emergency conditions in day-to-day clinical practice. Thrombosis seems to be the most troublesome and fatal. In Ayurveda, it can be compared with Vata rakta. In Rasashastra, rasoushadhis possess action in lifestyle diseases like Sthoulya, Madhumeha and Vata rakta. A diagnosed case of PAD presented in our OPD with Manda ruja, Staimitya, Vaivarnata, Sparsha dweshata and Suptata in the right hand for three months. She was treated with rasoushadhis, i.e., Tamra bhasma, Rasa sindhoor and Tala sindhoor, altogether given in half Ratti Pramana. The pre and post-therapeutic effects have been assessed clinically as well as diagnostically.

Authors: Ganatra Mayuri Shailesh , Khobragade Vaishali
Published: October 2022

Due to unclear aetiology, the healing impairment of diabetic patients is still a severe clinical problem for physicians worldwide. Hence impaired wound healing in diabetes has caught the attention of the world to help promote the healing process and prevent rising complications. The present study was designed to investigate the comparative wound healing efficacy of Yashadamrita Malhara with standard formulation, i.e., Framycetin Sulphate, using excision wound models in Diabetic rats. Streptozotocin (50 mg/kg, IP) induced diabetic rat model was used to evaluate the wound healing effect of Yashadamrita Malhara in comparison to Framycetin sulphate. Yashadamrita Malhara was applied for 12 days. Wound contraction % and estimation of hydroxyproline, collagen and hexosamine were studied. Obtained data were analyzed statistically. On the 12th day, there were no positive changes in the wound area contraction of the Yashadamrita Malhara treated group compared to the Framycetin sulphate treated group. The histopathology reports also showed no healing in the test drug group. Yashadamrita Malhara did not show any statistically significant Vrana Ropana (wound healing) activity in Diabetic Rats.
A CADAVERIC STUDY OF SEEMANTA MARMA
Authors: Singh Neetu
Published: October 2022

Background: The marma sharira is a prime territory of Rachana sharira. Sushruta had elaborated marma sharira at a certain depth. Marma (vital area) is described in the Hindu scripture Atharva Veda. During the Vedic era, the Marma Sharira had particular importance in the case of war field. The seemanta marma is shira marma, kalantara pranahara. The nature of this marma is sandhi marma. Aims: There are very few studies regarding the cadaveric study of seemanta marma. This study aims to identify the possible anatomical structure and analyze those structures. Perhaps it could be helpful for future scholars of Ayurveda. Material and method: The review was performed based on traditional Ayurvedic classics and contemporary medical sciences, journals, publications, articles, e-journals etc. The region of seemanta marma and surrounding area was dissected, and complete anatomical study was done. Discussion: The term seemanta indicates that the bony joint is present in the skull region. The joints present in the skull region are mainly sutural joints and fibrous, which provide malleable head quality. There are five major sutures in adult like coronal suture, sagittal suture, lambdoid suture and two squamous sutures, the frontal sutures present in infant and children. Conclusion: It has a significant role during delivery and brain development, which allows normal vaginal birth of the head. It also offers normal cranial growth by proper fusion if the premature fusion of sutures occurs (craniosynostosis), which results in cranial malformation.

PACHANA AND DEEPANA CHIKITSA IN AMAVATA: A REVIEW
Authors: AK Jishna Prakash
Published: October 2022

Ama resulting from improper digestion and vitiated vata causes a disease known as amavata. As far as symptomatology is concerned, rheumatoid arthritis and amavata have similarities. so, recent scholars co-relate amavata with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis, due to its chronicity, incurability and complications, is considered a challenging disease for clinicians. Modern science provides only symptomatic relief, but the chief pathology remains untreated, leading to many side effects and serious complications. In the chikitsa sutra of amavata, pachana and deepana are the prime lines of treatment. Pachana chikitsa helps in ama pachana. Katu and tikta rasas are abundantly used in amavata, which serves the purpose of ama pachana and vatanulomana. Since there is agnimandya, the primary target should be to kindle the agni. The deepana dravyas helps in this state. These dravyas help in improving the status of agni and enhances its action. Amavata is a condition where the stiffness of the body occurs due to lodging of vitiated ama and vata in trika sandhi and also due to diminished function of agni at jatharagni, bhutagni and dhatwagni levels. Amavata is amashayottha vyadhi. Therefore, the best treatment that can be adopted in amavata is pachana of ama and agni deepana, which can be done both internally and externally, and ultimately leads to srotoshodhana, vatashamana and in the conversion of sama to nirama avastha of doshas which is the appropriate state of expelling the same.

Ayurveda, the life science is important to protecting indriyas in all aspects. The main aim is the maintenance of swasthya-as a whole body and mind. Every swasthavritta acharana is directly or indirectly related to the Shalakya tantra. Acharyas explain the prevention of urdwajatrugata vikaras step by step, including the dinacharya, rathri charya, diets and routines and even care during rithu charya. Mind and body medicine is related to the fact that our general health depends on all the individual parts working together effectively. Ayurveda's main themes are preserving health, preventing disease occurrence and maintaining. Dinacharya includes danta dhavana, nasya, kavala, gandusha, abhyanga, snana etc., which will help keep the swasthya. Rithu charya should also be given much importance in the present scenario to prevent Shalakya vyadhis. The main objective of this study is to spread awareness of promotive and preventive Eye and ENT care through procedures in Ayurveda.
