The topic of infertility is still utterly taboo and that’s why so many women with infertility suffer silence. Infertility is defined as a failure to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus.[1] The WHO performed a large multinational study and found that in 37% of infertility couples, female infertility was the cause and Ovulatory disorders accounts 25%.[2] Our Acharya’s has mentioned that Love, Strength, Happiness, Fame, Pleasure are the attributes, which are acquired by children.[3] Our Acharya’s has explained Infertility under Vandhyatwa, where in, Acharya Charaka has not explained Vandhyatwa as independent Yoni Vyapat, but while explaining Asruja Yoni Vyapat, Arajaska Yoni Vyapat, Putraghni Yoni Vyapat, it all has the outcome of Vandhyatwa, for which he has also explained the treatment with Kashmarya Kutaja Kwatha Sidha Uttara Basti and Acharya Kashyapa has explained Shatapushpa having Rtu Pravartana effect. As there are many side effects by using modern (contemporary) medicines for induction of ovulation. This study was intended to evaluate the efficacy of Kashmarya Kutaja Kwatha Siddha Ghrita Uttarabasti in the management of Vandhyatwa w.s.r. to Anovulation. 30 subjects fulfilling the criteria were randomly selected from OPD & IPD of SSCASR & H and were assessed before and after treatment.
A clinical evaluation of Bakuchi Hartal Lepa and Amalaki Khadir Kashayam in the management of Switra (Vitiligo) - A Pilot Study
Authors: Mandloi Ashish , Babita Dash
Published: December 2023

Vitiligo is usually patchy depigmentary disorder, due to reduced or absent melanocytes. Most paediatric cases present after first decade of life with well-demarcated milky-white or hypopigmented patches. In Ayurveda vitiligo is known as Shwitra and described under Kushtha. The Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and Dhatus (such as Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, and Meda) vitiations are what give rise to this variety of Kushta in the classical Ayurvedic texts. The disease is significant primarily because it raises cosmetic concerns, which ultimately cause the sufferer to experience several socialised psychological stigmas. Ayurveda provide effective and safe treatment protocol for vitiligo. In the present Pilot study Amalaki- Khadir Kashaya with Bakuchi (Prakshep Dravya) is used as internal medication and Bakuchi, Hartala Lepa with Gomutra as external therapy in 8 patients. The Gunas of these drugs are opposite to Doshas responsible for Switra. This study shows significant decrease in number of hypopigmented patch as well as improvement in the psychological status of the patient.

Web-Based Public Reporting as a Decision-Making Tool for Consumers of Long-Term Care in the United States and the United Kingdom: Systematic Analysis of Report Cards
Authors: Kast Kristina , Otten Sara-Marie , Konopik Jens , Maier Claudia B
Published: December 2023

Background

Report cards can help consumers make an informed decision when searching for a long-term care facility.

Objective

This study aims to examine the current state of web-based public reporting on long-term care facilities in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Methods

We conducted an internet search for report cards, which allowed for a nationwide search for long-term care facilities and provided freely accessible quality information. On the included report cards, we drew a sample of 1320 facility profiles by searching for long-term care facilities in 4 US and 2 UK cities. Based on those profiles, we analyzed the information provided by the included report cards descriptively.

Results

We found 40 report cards (26 in the United States and 14 in the United Kingdom). In total, 11 of them did not state the source of information. Additionally, 7 report cards had an advanced search field, 24 provided simplification tools, and only 3 had a comparison function. Structural quality information was always provided, followed by consumer feedback on 27 websites, process quality on 15 websites, prices on 12 websites, and outcome quality on 8 websites. Inspection results were always displayed as composite measures.

Conclusions

Apparently, the identified report cards have deficits. To make them more helpful for users and to bring public reporting a bit closer to its goal of improving the quality of health care services, both countries are advised to concentrate on optimizing the existing report cards. Those should become more transparent and improve the reporting of prices and consumer feedback. Advanced search, simplification tools, and comparison functions should be integrated more widely.

Published: December 2023

Investigation of concentrations of organic and inorganic pollutants (hydrocarbons, including oil hydrocarbons, and trace elements – heavy metals and metalloids) in the Ham Luong River in the Mekong Delta was carried out and water quality was assessed by comparing the obtained levels of values with the regulatory limits of concentration. The determination of the total content of hydrocarbons and oil hydrocarbons was made by gas chromatography method; the trace elements were measured by ICP-MS technique after chemical treatment of samples. The content of oil hydrocarbons in the Ham Luong River water ranged from 0.042 to 0.076 mg/l. These values were quite high, exceeding the sanitary standard (0.05 mg/l) for fishery reservoirs, or approaching it, but they were lower compared to Vietnam national standard for domestic supply water (0.1 mg/l). The content of hydrocarbons in suspended matter was in the range of 0.011–0.37 mg/l. The concentrations of 15 trace elements were studied, nine of them (Ni, Fe, V, As, Se, Be, Cd, Sb, Tl) did not exceed any of the established regulatory limits of concentration for surface water. However, concentrations of six trace elements (Pb, Zn, Cu, Co, Ag, Mo) were found to exceed the standard regulatory limits. Among the studied 15 trace elements, critical and potentially critical elements were identified, which are subject to primary monitoring control. Chemoecological studies of water quality are important for monitoring of the ecological and sanitary water state for ensure the quality of consumed natural resources and to preserve the biological diversity of the Mekong Delta ecosystems.

Published: December 2023

Land cover heterogeneity can affect the structure of biodiversity in the supplied niche, so it is necessary to know the taxa community. This study aimed to understand the effect of land cover variation on the diversity and community structure of soil arthropods. The types of habitats used include urban areas, agroforestry, gardens, and natural forests which are determined in the Malang Region, East Java, Indonesia. Hand sorting and hay bait traps were applied in this study to obtain a variety of arthropod soils and the Berlese-Tullgren funnel was used to extract them. As a result, there are 25 families from 15 orders collected based on their ecological roles. The abundance of Philoscidae in sites S1 and S2 (urban green space), Talitridae in site S6 (agroforestry), and Isotomidae in sites S3, S4, and S5 (highland mixed forest) was highest and dominant. Site S7 has the highest diversity (H' = 2.56; 1-D = 0.90; J' = 0.76) even though its family richness is lower. The site S3 counter-site had relatively high taxa richness (TR = 13), but low diversity (H' = 1.02; 1-D = 0.39; J' = 0.16). Based on clustering analysis and NMDS ordination, 3 classifications of habitat types were obtained, namely I (S6 & S7), II (S3, S4 & S5), and III (S1 & S2). Mixed forest habitats contain a more complex diversity of soil arthropods, which can serve as a model for improving the fertility of disturbed ecosystems.

Ugly Feelings in Philip Kan Gotanda’s The Wash
Authors: Wang Tian
Published: December 2023

As a contemporary Japanese American playwright, Philip Kan Gotanda is noted for his realistic family dramas. The Wash, as his pivotal work, explores the perpetual impacts of racial discrimination and internment camp experience on Japanese immigrants. Although The Wash (1987) has been the object of intense critical study, there are more focus on identity formation, characterization and thematic concerns. This paper uses Sianne Ngai’s theory in her perspicacious book Ugly Feelings in which Ngai systematically proposes seven ugly feelings, namely, animatedness, envy, irritation, anxiety, stuplime, paranoia, and disgust to interpret predicaments implied in the affect signs. By analyzing the reasons and aftermath of Nobu’s three ugly feelings, paranoia, stuplime, and disgust, the author of this paper argues that Nobu is both the victim and victimizer of racial discrimination. As a victim, the protagonist’s negativity is originated from Camp trauma, racism, and traditional Japanese ideology. As a victimizer, his negative feelings inflict in her kinsfolk and intergroup. By writing the collapse of a small family, Gotanda creates a miniature while hints continuous and detrimental influences of systemic racism and interminority racism.

Analysis of Tonality of Text Using Machine Learning
Authors: Sai D. Gautham
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Tonality analysis using machine learning algorithms refers to the computational examination of written text with the objective of discerning and categorizing the emotional or subjective tone embedded within the content. In the realm of natural language processing (NLP), this analytical approach seeks to automate the process of understanding and classifying the sentiment expressed in textual data, facilitating a nuanced interpretation of language that extends beyond mere lexical meaning. At its core, the analysis of tonality involves the utilization of sophisticated machine learning models to distinguish and categorize the emotional underpinnings of text. This is particularly valuable in scenarios where vast amounts of unstructured textual data need to be processed, such as customer reviews, social media interactions, or news articles. The overarching goal is to automatically assign predefined tonal labels, such as positive, negative, or neutral, to segments of text, thereby enabling a more quantitative and systematic investigation of the subjective aspects of language. The process typically commences with the acquisition of raw textual data, which undergoes a series of preprocessing steps. These steps involve cleaning the text, breaking it into individual units (tokenization), and extracting relevant linguistic features. Feature extraction is a critical aspect, as it involves transforming the raw text into a format suitable for machine learning algorithms. This may encompass capturing word frequencies, utilizing n-grams to identify contextual patterns, and incorporating sentiment lexicon scores to gauge the emotions.

Smart Manhole Managing and Monitoring System Using IOT
Authors: Sharma Sumit
Published: December 2023

Abstract: A smart city is the future goal for humanity to have cleaner and better amenities. When creating a smart city, smart subsurface infrastructure is a crucial component to consider. Monitoring the drainage system is critical to keeping the city clean and healthy. Because human monitoring is ineffective, drainage problems are handled slowly and take longer to resolve. The technology is designed to plot the co-ordinates of the manholes using GPS.The proposed approach is low-cost and requires little maintenance. The GPS will refresh the information every 5 minutes. When crossing a manhole, the driver is alerted that a manhole is ahead, allowing them to avoid it. The system employs a machine learning algorithm based on Q-Learning to calculate each state. If any of those parameters changes abruptly, the system connects to the admin office and notifies the situation via message wherever it has been posted. This study would be tremendously beneficial to society in terms of manhole maintenance. Implement a Reinforcement Learning algorithm, such as Q-Learning, that is based on reward and policy. A test data set will be used to assess the performance of the Q learning model.

The MTrP pain threshold among TTH patients in the city of Jambi has never been described.

Method: Adult patients diagnosed with TTH in Jambi city are measured for their pain thresholds at the muscles of four known MTrPs: the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, temporalis, and sub-occipital muscles. Results are then analyzed.

Results: Fifty-three subjects were obtained (53 female, 18 male) with the largest age group between 26-40 years old, and most frequent profession to be government worker and housewife. Based on the average pain thresholds of the four MTrPs, the lowest to highest average measurements are on the temporalis muscle (1.93 kg/cm2), m. sternocleidomastoid (2.48 kg/cm2), m. sub-occipital (2.50 kg/cm2) dan trapezius (2.63 kg/cm2).

Conclusion: MTrP pain threshold measurements can be considered as a routine examination among TTH patients, as MTrP plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of TTH and potentially as a target of multimodal therapy.

ABSTRAK

Latar belakang: Patogenesis dari tension-type headache (TTH) belum diketahui secara jelas, namun laporan dari beberapa studi menunjukkan bahwa rendahnya ambang nyeri pada beberapa trigger point di otot-otot servikal memiliki korelasi dengan TTH. Nilai ambang nyeri pada trigger point di antara pasien-pasien (TTH) di kota Jambi belum pernah digambarkan.

Metode: Pasien-pasien dewasa dengan diagnosis (TTH) di rumah sakit di kota Jambi menjalani pengukuran ambang nyeri dengan algometer pada myofascial trigger point (MTrP) di beberapa titik, yaitu musculus trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, temporalis, dan sub-occipitalis bilateral. Hasil pengukuran kemudian dianalisis.

Hasil: Subyek yang didapat yaitu sebanyak 53 pasien (35 perempuan, 18 laki-laki), dengan golongan usai terbanyak yaitu 26-40 tahun. Pekerjaan yang terbanyak yaitu pegawai negeri sipil dan ibu rumah tangga. Dari keempat MTrP, rata-rata ambang nyeri yang terendah hingga tertinggi yaitu m. temporalis (1.93 kg/cm2), m. sternocleidomastoid (2.48 kg/cm2), m. sub-occipital (2.50 kg/cm2) dan m. trapezius (2.63 kg/cm2).

Kesimpulan: Pengukuran ambang nyeri pada MTrP dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai suatu pemeriksaan rutin pada pasien dengan TTH, agar dapat dipertimbangkan perannya dalam patogenesis TTH dan sebagai target dalam terapi multimodal.
