Gout & Its Homoeopathic Approach
Authors:   R.B.T.S Govt Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, Ramdyalunagar, Muzaffarpur, Kumar Nitesh
Published: March 2022

Gout is a metabolic disease that most often affects middle-aged to elderly men and postmenopausal women. This is characterized by pain and swelling of the first metatarsophalangeal joint initially, followed by other joints, with an abnormal elevation of urate level in the body either due to over production (10%) or under excretion (90%) or some time both. Homoeopathic remedies are effective in treating acute as well as chronic gout and also help in reducing the uric acid levels, thus preventing further attacks and other complications of hyperuricemia.

Yoga is a centuries-old practice that is being rediscovered by people from all walks of life and for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons why people are turning to yoga is to find a way to relax, to find a way to reduce stress, to find a way to manage their anxiety, and to find a way to improve their mental health. But there are other reasons why people are turning to yoga, and one of them is to improve their physical health, to improve their fitness, and to improve their wellbeing. Yoga is the practice of achieving a state of mind and body through physical postures and breathing exercises [3]. It is the process of quieting the mind and focusing the mind on a single point. It is the process of adjusting the body to various positions and postures. Yoga is a great way to relax and unwind [1]. When we are stressed out and busy, it is all too easy to let our health and fitness regime slide. It also becomes harder to find the time to fit in a session of yoga. Today, yoga is practised all over the world in a variety of styles and formats. It has become a commonly recommended form of exercise to improve strength and flexibility, reduce stress and improve overall health.

Authors:   chool of Statistics, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, 100875, China, Li Congrui
Published: March 2022

Existing wine scoring systems are based on subjective feelings, which are difficult to quantify. Thus, the score of a particular wine has little guidance on the brewing process. In this paper, regression tree and random forest are used to predict wine score by using the physicochemical properties of wine. According to the results of the model, higher quality wine can be produced by controlling the physical and chemical properties, thus reducing the waste of raw materials.

Kemampuan dalam berbahasa Inggris dinilai sangat penting dan krusial, serta merupakan suatu hal yang wajib dikuasai oleh setiap orang agar dapat bersaing secara global. Namun perlu disadari bahwa Bahasa Inggris bukan bahasa pertama kita karena Indonesia sudah memiliki bahasa tersendiri yang merupakan serapan dari Bahasa Melayu. Pemerintah sudah melakukan hal yang cukup baik untuk mengenalkan Bahasa Inggris di Indonesia. Jika dilihat dari segi upaya yang dilakukan pemerintah, sudah terbukti bahwa pemerintah sangat sadar akan pentingnya bahasa inggris dan ingin masyarakatnya dapat bersaing di skala internasional. Walau pun begitu upaya pemerintah tersebut tidak selalu sukses dan sesuai harapan. Dilansir dari survey yang dilakukan oleh Lembaga EF (English First), tercatat bahwa salah satu Provisi yang meduduki peringkat terbawah adalah Riau. Sebagai salah satu contoh, dapat dilihat dari kondisi salah satu sekolah yang ada di Riau yaitu SMKS Korpri.Metode pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang dilakukan di SMKS Korpri masih terkesan kurang menarik dan bersifat monoton. Dengan pemanfaatan teknologi saat ini terdapat sebuah game yang bermanfaat untuk menunjang pembelajaran menjadi lebih efektif. Easynglish merupakan suatu game pemebelajaran yang dirancang untuk membantu pelajar dalam memahami Bahasa Inggris dengan cara yang berbeda. Game ini berbasis website yang dapat diakses secara gratis sebelum digunakan.

Bara, Viala y Escutia: el modelo del niño héroe y el sacrificio infantil en la retórica del patriotismo
Authors: Alcubierre Beatriz
Published: March 2022

Estas páginas buscan ubicar ciertas coincidencias que vinculan la mitología en torno al relato de los niños héroes de Chapultepec, y su uso pedagógico por parte del Estado, especialmente el porfiriano, con relatos semejantes que tuvieron su origen en la revolución francesa y que fueron retomados con propósitos educativos en la Francia de la Tercera República. Se abordan así los casos de Joseph Bara y Agrícola Viala, para establecer una comparación en el desarrollo del culto cívico en torno a esas figuras y los niños héroes (haciendo énfasis en la figura de Juan Escutia) y la manera como fueron incluidos en los libros de texto en ambos países a finales del siglo XIX.
Disidencias feministas en la Iglesia católica mexicana: el movimiento para la ordenación de mujeres durante los setenta del siglo XX
Authors: Espino Armendáriz Saúl
Published: March 2022

Este artículo documenta y analiza la disidencia feminista al interior de la Iglesia católica mexicana en la década de los setenta del siglo XX, enfocándose en el movimiento para la ordenación de mujeres. Se estudian las raíces católicas y las redes del activismo, mostrando el protagonismo de los grupos establecidos en Cuernavaca (Morelos, México) en torno a Betsie Hollants, el diálogo e intercambio con activistas de Estados Unidos y las tensiones ideológicas propias de un movimiento transnacional en el contexto polarizado de la Guerra Fría. Uso como ventana histórica la planeación, fundación y primeros años de la agrupación Mujeres para el Diálogo para analizar el feminismo católico. Como fuentes, recurro principalmente a correspondencia, memorias, minutas, libros, periódicos y revistas ubicados en acervos públicos y privados de México y Estados Unidos.
Amnistías e historia política: huellas y problemas en el siglo XX
Authors: Cossío Díaz José Ramón , Rodríguez Kuri Ariel
Published: March 2022

En este artículo propone el análisis de cuatro momentos en los que se promulgaron leyes de amnistías de carácter político en México: enero de 1937, diciembre de 1940, septiembre de 1978 y enero de 1994. En cada caso se intenta ofrecer la materia y contenidos de las leyes de amnistía como el contexto político que explica tales disposiciones. En la presente investigación no siempre se ha podido esclarecer el universo de los beneficiados, pero sí el campo jurídico y político de las leyes. Una exploración minuciosa de archivos y publicaciones oficiales permitiría encontrar indicios de proyectos de leyes de amnistía no considerados en este trabajo. Se parte aquí de la premisa de que las leyes de amnistía son una de las vías de acceso a la historia política de una buena parte del siglo XX. A través de su estudio es posible alcanzar una comprensión más acabada del funcionamiento judicial del marco constitucional de 1917.

Published: March 2022

The management of water resources is one of the major priorities in all countries of the world and even more so in developing countries such as Cameroon. The purpose of this research project is to assess the influence of the use of soap wastewater on the physical and mechanical performance of concrete. The experimental test program was designed to assess the impact of varying the concentration of soap factory wastewater as a replacement for tap water. Cylindrical concrete test pieces were made by varying the proportion of wastewater from soap factories at a rate of 0%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%; depending on the water/cement ratio of 0.5, 0.6 and 0.7. These cylindrical concrete specimens were tested at the ages of 3, 7, 28, 60 and 90 days; the load was applied consistently and the breaking stress was measured automatically at failure. The results of the experimental tests carried out in this project indicate that the use of wastewater from the soap factory for the preparation of concrete as a replacement for tap water induces a decrease in the value of the subsidence at the abrams cone of the concrete, delays the start of the setting of the cement, leads to a reduction in the compressive strength of the concrete, causes the formation of pores in the concrete matrix at early ages. Correlations have been developed to quantify the loss in the strength of concrete as a function of the polluted water content and the variation of the water / cement ratio.
Resilient Selection as a Mechanism for Adapting Iraqi Architecture to the Trends of Modernity
Authors: Hadi Sabti Hasan , Al-Saidi Adil , Gassed Mohammed , Al-Shamari Haitham
Published: March 2022

The contemporary products of the Iraqi architecture were no longer keeping pace with modernity and global developments. It was mixed with many styles of architecture over periods. The entry of modern architecture into Baghdad led to an accelerated change in the general morphological shape of the city through multi-story high buildings in the middle of the horizontal fabric. The aim of this research was to bring Iraqi architecture from the narrowness to the open ends as adaptive architecture. The research assumed that any building consistent with its general contents could be modified to the resilient selection procedure. The study used a descriptive analytical method in conjunction with a critical approach. A survey of architects and planners in Iraq was also performed. The method divided into three items; harmonization obstacles, the foundations of adaptive architecture and general Iraqi cultural contents. It made an evaluation and estimation the characteristics of the modernity movement within the concept of adaptive architecture. The methodology used qualitative approach based on the survey method (questionnaire). The results extracted indicated that the positive characteristics can unify the vision of modern architecture and urban trends towards adaptive architecture. The research concludes that adaptive architecture in Iraq was a sustainable and valuable in harmony with the contents of the common local culture. So, it could be considered as an adaptive architecture.
Do fuzzy-logic non-linear models provide a benefit for the modelling of algebraic competency?
Authors: Oldenburg Reinhard
Published: March 2022

Statistical models used in mathematics education are often linear and latent variables are often assumed to be normally distributed. The present paper argues that by relaxing these constraints one may use models that fit the data better than linear ones and provide more insight into the domain. It combines research on statistical methodology with research on the competence structure within algebra. The methodological innovation is that models with latent variables from the unit interval are considered which allows to model relations by means of fuzzy logic. Estimation techniques for such models are discussed to the extend necessary for the present study. To assess the benefit of this modelling technique data from an algebra test is re-analyzed. It is shown that non-linear models have greater explanatory power and give interesting didactical insights. Moreover, model comparison allows to differentiate between different theoretical constructs related to algebraic understanding. Finally, a research program is outlined that aims at the development of a universal algebra competence model that can be applied to test data from various algebra tests.

Published: March 2022

OBJECTIVE

To determine the rate of survival to hospital discharge and identify indicators associated with poor outcomes among female dogs (bitches) with pyometra treated with ovariohysterectomy (OHE) in a nonspecialized setting.

ANIMALS

405 bitches diagnosed with pyometra at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal Hospital from January 1, 2017, to February 8, 2019.

PROCEDURES

For this retrospective study, medical records were searched and data collected including patient history, clinical signs, serum biochemical analyses results, and outcome (survival to hospital discharge, length of hospital stay, and uterine rupture). Logistic regression models were used to assess multivariable associations and identify potential predictive variables.

RESULTS

The rate of survival to hospital discharge for bitches with pyometra treated with OHE was 97% (394/405); 44% (174/394) stayed in the hospital ≥ 2 nights, and 3% (11/390) had a ruptured uterus. Bitches with a high BUN concentration or heart murmur had greater odds of death after OHE; however, the model had low predictive power. Those with uterine rupture, inappetence, high concentrations of BUN or serum creatinine, low PCV, or dehydration had greater odds of hospitalization ≥ 2 nights. There were no significant predictors of uterine rupture.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The rate of survival to hospital discharge was high for bitches with pyometra treated with OHE in a nonspecialized setting; therefore, general practitioners could expect similar outcomes. With this important procedure widely available in general practices, more pets can receive treatment for this life-threatening disease.

Published: March 2022

OBJECTIVE

Investigate long-term complications, survival times, general health and quality of life (QoL) outcomes, and longevity in female dogs and cats (bitches and queens, respectively) following hospital discharge after ovariohysterectomy (OHE) for pyometra.

ANIMALS

306 pet-owner–completed surveys and corresponding medical records for 234 bitches and 72 queens treated with OHE for pyometra at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal Hospital between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019.

PROCEDURES

A telephone and online survey was conducted to gather data about pet owners’ perception of pet health and QoL following OHE for pyometra, and potential associations between survey results and medical record data were evaluated. Median survival time at a given age at OHE for pyometra was calculated with the use of maximum likelihood estimation of a survival-time regression model.

RESULTS

72 of the 121 (60%) eligible owners of queens and 234 of the 390 (60%) eligible owners of bitches completed the survey. Most owners reported that at the time of the survey, their pet’s health and QoL were better or the same as before pyometra. Reported health and QoL outcomes were similar for pets > 8 versus ≤ 8 years of age.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Our findings indicated that bitches and queens undergoing OHE for pyometra at older ages and without other severe health issues can expect to live their full life span. Veterinarians in private practice could expect similar outcomes.
Prazosin administration increases the rate of recurrent urethral obstruction in cats: 388 cases
Authors: Conway David S. , Rozanski Elizabeth A. , Wayne Annie S.
Published: March 2022

OBJECTIVE

To determine if prazosin administration decreased the rate of recurrent urethral obstruction (rUO) before hospital discharge and within 14 days.

ANIMALS

388 cats with urethral obstruction.

PROCEDURES

Veterinarians who either always or never prescribed prazosin (generally, 0.5 to 1 mg, PO, q 12 h for 14 days) were recruited to complete observational surveys. Patient data and characteristics of relieving the obstruction, including perception of a gritty feel within urethra or difficulty unobstructing the cat, were recorded. The rate of development of rUO before hospital discharge and by day 14 was compared between cats that received or did not receive prazosin with the Fisher exact test. Other variables were similarly compared between cats with and without rUO.

RESULTS

302 (78%) cats received prazosin, while 86 (22%) did not. There was no association between prazosin administration and risk of rUO prior to discharge, with 34 of 302 (11.3%) cats receiving prazosin and 5 or 86 (5.8%) not receiving prazosin developing rUO. Within 14 days, a significantly higher proportion of prazosin-treated cats (73/302 [24%]) developed an rUO, compared with the proportion of non–prazosin-treated cats (and 11/86 [13%]). The perception of a “gritty feeling urethra” or difficulty of performing the catheterization was associated with increased risk of rUO.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Prazosin administration increased the likelihood of rUO by 14 days; ongoing investigation of other therapies to decrease rUO in cats is warranted. Without specific indications, the use of prazosin for the prevention of rUO should be discouraged.

This paper explores the impact of refugees on the size of the underground economy in 28 European Union countries over the period from 1998 to 2017. It applies a nonlinear methodology by employing dynamic panel threshold estimations. The main findings uncover a nonlinear connection between refugees and the informal economy with an inverted V-shape and a different magnitude of effects depending on the share of the refugee population. The underground economy is stimulated at a low level of refugee inflows (where immigrants make up <0.572% of the total population). Large inflows compress the underground economy, which increases competition in the labor market based on lower labor costs. Economic growth and international trade play a crucial role in reducing the size of the informal economy. Equally importantly, coherent unemployment policy and adequate regulation of illegal immigrants support this process.
An improved control strategy based sliding mode approach for high-order systems with mismatched disturbances

Published: March 2022

This paper develops an improved design of sliding mode control for high-order systems subjected to matched and mismatched disturbances. Unlike most of the literature implementations, that consider the mismatched disturbances as time vanishing disturbances with a known upper bound; the proposed approach works under time non-vanishing of both, the mismatched disturbances and their time derivatives. Furthermore, these disturbances and their time derivatives are bounded by an unknown constant. In contrast to the classical approaches that search for an approximation to the disturbance and then incorporates it into the controller to stabilise the system, the proposed scheme conducts the system output to achieve asymptotic convergence and this is without the need of any exact estimation of the disturbance. Two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Pressure and humidity detector based on textile integrated waveguide
Authors: Kokolia Martin , Raida Zbynek
Published: March 2022

In the paper, a pressure sensor and a humidity sensor are designed as supplementary components of a textile integrated waveguide (TIW) based on an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) consisting of hexagonal elements. Thanks to AMC, sewing of electrically conductive side walls can be eliminated. Since operating in the stop-band of TIW, the sensors do not influence transmission parameters of TIW, and provide an additional functionality. For fabrication, a three-dimensional knitted fabric was used as a substrate and conductive surfaces were created from a self-adhesive copper foil. The sensors were simulated, manufactured and measured in the frequency range from 10 GHz to 12 GHz with a reasonable agreement. Since the designed components are sensitive on manufacturing tolerances, a higher measured insertion loss in TIW can be observed compared to simulations. Nevertheless, the insertion loss can be reduced when manufacturing accuracy is improved.

Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology is widely known transmission line technology adapted for use in various types of microwave circuits. This article deals with the analysis and design of a phase shifter based on the SIW technology. With simulation and measurement results obtained from the phase shifter with using air holes inside the structure, a test circuit was designed and manufactured. Results show that a phase balance of less than 10° is achieved with the experimental setup. The return loss value is better than 15 dB for working frequency band 8.85 GHz − 9GHz. The main benefit of this work is the easy of implementation air holes inside the structure and also the easy of manufacture of the circuits for antenna arrays, where a certain number of identical circuits is usually needed.
Television documentaries as spearheads in public service television: Comparing scheduling practices on the linear channels and video-on-demand services of Danish TV 2 and DR
Authors: Bruun Hanne , Bille Benedicte Krogh
Published: March 2022

This article presents findings from a study of how the public service television (PSTV) companies DR and TV 2 in Denmark are changing their scheduling practices to address the competition from transnational streaming services. We focus on a comparative analysis of how television documentaries are scheduled and argue that the documentary genre is part of an editorial prioritisation of productions with high degrees of linguistic and national proximity targeting a mainstream audience. Furthermore, we argue that new scheduling practices support a merger of linear and non-linear modes of watching television indicative of a transformation in which the video-on-demand (VoD) services are the new entry points to PSTV. This transformation might be a vital part of how Nordic PSTV companies adapt to the changes in the television industry and to new viewing habits.
Aspects Regarding the Separation of Spouses
Authors: Nagy Oana Voica
Published: March 2022

The present study proposes an analysis of the common dispositions of the European Union, applicable to marriage dissolution by divorce but also to the legal separation. Also, we will realize a comparison between divorce and legal separation, due to the fact that, the last one is not regulated in all the countries that are part of the European Union. Consequently, we would like to identify the advantages and disadvantages of this legal procedure that is used by the spouses to separate, but which has as main effect maintaining the relations born when the marriage was concluded. We approached this subject, on the one hand, because the relations between spouses have degraded on the background of the movement restrictions both at national and global level. On the other hand, we turned our attention towards this domain, due the fact that not all states which apply the regulations of the European Union on this matter recognize both separation methods.
Covid War(S)? The Influence of Military Rhetoric on Government Discursive Practices During the Coronavirus Pandemic
Authors: Oneţ Alina-Elena , Ciocoi-Pop Ana-Blanca
Published: March 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had an unprecedented impact and far-reaching consequences on the global community, governments worldwide (aided by media outlets) have often resorted to military and even war-specific discourse and terminology, in a sustained and coordinated effort to make the general public aware of the pandemic’s devastating implications, painting the virus and the pandemic situation in typical war vocabulary by making use of terms such as “enemy”, “war”, “invader”, etc. In doing so, governments hoped to awaken a sense of urgency and responsibility in the general population. However, in spite of such rhetoric being unquestionably useful in mobilizing all forces in society in situations of extreme emergency, the frequent use of military vocabulary in the governments’ communication with the population often resulted in an undermining of the efforts to control the virus. The present paper analyses the type of military vocabulary employed by governments during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact upon the general public’s perception and consequent desire to collaborate with the authorities.
Several Conceptual Aspects Regarding International Adoption
Authors: Luieran Ioana Raluca Toncean
Published: March 2022

Recently, international adoption has been in the spotlight of the legislator, which has established an increasingly favourable legal framework for approving this type of adoption, the specific procedures being improved, simplified and made more accessible. Therefore, we consider it appropriate to analyse in detail the notion of international adoption, as regulated in the national law, but also in international law, by reference to some jurisprudential references. In accordance with Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, unlike internal adoption, international adoption involves the participation of foreign and national organizations, whose involvement is carefully and even restrictively regulated by the national legislator. The present study proposes a description of the organizations involved mainly in international adoption, with reference to the provisions of GEO no. 121/2021 on the establishment of measures at the level of the central public administration and for the amendment and completion of some normative acts, which provides for the restructuring of the National Authority for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Children and Adoptions.
An Argument for Cybersecurity in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Dawson Maurice
Published: March 2022

In this paper, the researcher briefly discusses the attacks that have occurred recently within Saudi Arabia to entities such as Saudi Aramco to the Ministry of Health. These attacks are aggressions against government institutions that can render a sector vulnerable. Observing the ongoing attacks on critical infrastructure in Ukraine one can see a replication of similar attacks that could occur and spread over the Middle East. As this nation is a politically turbulent region, there is no small number of external threats. To combat these evolving threats, a shift towards cyber readiness must occur. This includes new laws, security-hardened technologies, and education for people living in the kingdom.
The Fraternal Archaic
Authors: Richard François
Published: March 2022

This article considers the relationships between brothers and sisters from the angle of a more primitive problematic which encompasses them. The archaic bond to the mother, with its moments of subject/object confusion and envious aggressiveness, pervades the ordinary rivalry proper to the fraternal bond – which is a corollary of the specular structure of the self, between narcissistic triumph and annihilation.

An adult clinical case shows the traumatic depressant impact, in the transferential aftermath, of the birth of a younger brother – and how analysis was able to unravel this neurotic complex.
Who is This Stranger?
Authors: Cuc Bogdan Sebastian
Published: March 2022

The appearance of a younger child, brother or sister, may represent a decisive moment in the existence of the first born. The possibly violent exit from the Eden-like universe of primary narcissism, of limitless self-love, via the birth of a second child represents a structuring experience, which forces the repositioning of the Ego in a manner similar to the hierarchic positioning within the primitive horde. In this context, the discovery and exploration of the other seems to become the main form of access to the construction of the Ego in the presence of an alterity that carries the mark of a narcissistic wound.
Same Sex Parenthood
Authors: Heenen-Wolff Susann
Published: March 2022

With respect to same-sex parenting, we are obliged to take a renewed look at the relevance of the theory of the Oedipus complex in its « simple » form, just as Freud himself found it necessary to do (Freud 1923b). We could argue that the psychical flexibility that is typical of human beings helps same-sex parents to implement in their children a fantasy scenario that supports the structuring of their psychical organization.
Transmodal Metaphor. Intersubjectivity and Transmodality During Early Development and in a Group Mediation Setting with Autistic Children
Authors: Petrou Michael A.
Published: March 2022

The principle of a clinical setting, created in a centre for autistic children in Greece (The Perivolaki 3), was based on the combination of different mediations within a given group workshop: reproducing sounds, movements, drawings and then reformulating the patterns in a different register. In this article I propose the theoretical-clinical support of this setting on psychoanalytic and neurocognitive data and hypotheses related to the processes of intrasubjective linking and intersubjective links, which I consider to be co-emerging, during normal development and in early pathologies (autisms). Transmodality, affective tuning, primary symbolizations and metaphorization processes are also questioned by this double point of view.
