EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY OF KUSHMANDABEEJADI LEPA AGAINST SIGRUPUNARNAVADI LEPA IN WASP STING - A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL TRIAL
Authors: Vijayan Vijitha
Published: March 2021

Wasp stings are common especially during the warmer months when people are outside for longer periods of time. They are equipped with a stinger for self-defence. A wasp’s stinger contains venom that is trans-mitted to humans during a sting. Local manifestations following stings are common and usually life-threatening anaphylaxis may occur. Most of the cases involve one or a few stings where only local symp-toms without any serious allergic reactions. In such cases Vishaghna lepas (antitoxic topical applications) can be used as it nullifies the harmful or poisonous effects along with medicinal intake. Here, in this study, the efficacy of Kushmandabeejadi lepa churna, mentioned in Kriyakoumudi (traditional book on toxicolo-gy) for wasp sting is studied by administering it along with another widely practiced classical preparation. Aim and Objectives- The study was conducted to study the efficacy of Kushmandabeejadi lepa against Sigrupunarnavadi lepa along with Dasanga agada in the management of Wasp sting Methods- A clinical study with 20 participants fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria was selected alternately and as-signed in to two groups. Group 1(trial group) received Kushmanadabeejadi lepa churna and Group 2(control group) received Sigrupunarnavadi lepa churna five times daily for a period of three days, both as external application. Fourth day was observatory period and assessment was done on fifth day. In both groups, Dasanga agada was used as common internal medicine. Results-The outcome variables – pain, itching, erythema and swelling were assessed for the change in mean score values. Data were analysed sta-tistically using Mann-Whitney U Test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The result obtained was significant in relieving the cardinal symptoms of wasp sting Conclusion- The overall effect shows that both the treat-ments individually were significant in the management of wasp sting and Kushmandabeejadi lepa is equal-ly effective in managing the signs and symptoms produced by wasp sting when compared with Sigru-punarnavadi lepa.

Authors: Kalyani Shivaleela. S. , Sunil. Khandare Sunil.x
Published: March 2021

Vyanga is one of the Kshudraroga1, characterized by the presence of painless, bluish-black patches on face. On the basis of clinical features, it can be compared with Facial melasma. Melasma is characterized by dark, discolored patches on skin. It's also called chloasma. It typically occurs in the face and symmet-rical, with matching marks on both sides of the face. Area of the body which exposed to sun can also de-velop melasma. According to Ayurveda, vitiated Dosha mainly Pitta along with Vata produce blackish patches on the face which is called Vyanga. Vyanga is Rakta Pradoshaj Vikar and in its Doshas involved is Udana Vayu, Bhajrak Pitta and Dushya Rasa and Rakta Dhatu, as this condition disturbed our mental and physical state. In modern medical science, topical steroids have been described in the management of faci-al melasma. However, the topical steroids are may cause adverse effects such as irritation, rashes etc. and are expensive too. Ayurveda treatment includes Abhyanga with Taila, Lepa, Pradeha, Nasya, Rak-tamokshana etc. Ayurveda mentions a good number of drugs like Kusthaghna, Kandughna, Raktasho-dhaka, Twakprasadaka and Varnyakara properties e.g. Arjuna, Nimba, Manjistha are helpful in manage-ment and can produce cutaneous depigmentation that remove the blackish discoloration of skin.

Prasramsini is one of the 20 Yonivyapada mentioned in Ayurveda classics. It was first explained as a Yonivyapada by Acharya Sushruta in Sushruta Samhita Uttartantra 38th chapter “Yonivyapada Prat-ishedha Adhyaya”. It is a condition in which there is displacement of Yoni from its place, excessive vaginal discharges, and difficult labor due to abnormality of passage along with features of Pitta vitiation. On the basis of its description, it can be co-related with 1st and 2nd degree utero-vaginal prolapse. Historical aspect, Nidana, Purvaroopa, Roopa, Saapeksha Nidana (with Mahayoni, Andini, Anatarmukhi, Vatiki yonivyapa-da) and Chikitsha (Shamana & Shodhana) of Prasramsini Yonivyapada is explained in detail in this article along with its possible contemporary correlation.
A LITERARY REVIEW ON THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF THE INDIAN FIVE SPICE BLEND OR “PANCH PHORON” BASED ON AYURVEDIC CLASSICAL TEXTS
Authors: Bose Nabaruna
Published: March 2021

The green ecology around us is surrounded by various types of plants. India houses a wide variety of plants possessing medicinal properties which are known to us while some are yet to be discovered and used so that the human mankind need not be dependent on artificial and toxic chemicals. All over the world spices are used to flavour the food. These spices comprise different parts of the plant like seeds, bark, root, etc. They not only add flavour to the food but also act as a preservative and has immense health benefits too. Panch Phoron is a mixture of five spices- Cumin seeds (Jeeraka), Fennel seeds (Mishreya), Fenugreek seeds (Methika), Nigella seeds (Upakunchika) and Mustard seeds (Sarshapa). It is widely used in Eastern part of India on a daily basis for adding flavours to the food. Each individual ingredient in itself is benefi-cial for us. Ayurveda has a holistic approach. It believes in organic way of treatment by eliminating the toxins and balancing the Tridosha. The review aspires to scientifically validate the vast traditional use of this spice in the Eastern cuisine and its immense scope in herbal therapeutics.
Топологические решеточно упорядоченные кольца с AM-свойством

Motivated by the recent definition of the $AM$-property
in locally solid vector lattices [O. Zabeti, doi:
10.1007/s41980-020-00458-7], in this note, we try to investigate
some counterparts of those results in the category of all locally
solid lattice rings. In fact, we characterize locally solid lattice
rings in which order bounded sets and bounded sets agree.
Furthermore, with the aid of the $AM$-property, we find conditions
under which order bounded group homomorphisms and different types of
bounded group homomorphisms coincide. Moreover, we show that each
class of bounded order bounded group homomorphisms on a locally
solid lattice ring $X$ has the Lebesgue or the Levi property if and
only if so is $X$.
Functional Differential Equation with Dilated and Rotated Argument
Authors: Товсултанов А.А.
Published: March 2021

В статье рассматривается краевая задача в ограниченной плоской области для функционально-дифференциального уравнения второго порядка, содержащего комбинацию растяжений и поворотов старших производных искомой функции. Найдены необходимые и достаточные условия в алгебраической форме выполнения неравенства типа Гординга, обеспечивающего однозначную (фредгольмову) разрешимость, дискретность и секториальную структуру спектра задачи Дирихле. В литературе в данной ситуации принят термин сильно эллиптическое уравнение. Вывод упомянутых условий, выражаемых непосредственно через коэффициенты уравнения, основан на комбинации преобразований Фурье и Гельфанда элементов коммутативной $B^*$-алгебры, порожденной операторами растяжения и поворота. Основной момент здесь - выяснение структуры пространства максимальных идеалов этой алгебры. Доказано, что пространство максимальных идеалов гомеоморфно прямому произведению спектров оператора растяжения (окружность) и оператора поворота (вся окружность в случае, когда угол поворота $\alpha$ несоизмерим с $\pi$, и конечный набор точек на окружности, когда $\alpha$ соизмерим с $\pi$). Такое различие между двумя случаями для $\alpha$ приводит к тому, что в зависимости от $\alpha$ условия однозначной разрешимости краевой задачи могут иметь существенно разный вид и, например, для $\alpha$ соизмеримого с $\pi$, могут зависеть не только от абсолютной величины, но и от знака коэффициента при слагаемом с поворотом.
To the Question of Local Extension of the Parallel Translations Group of Three-Dimensional Space
Authors: Кыров В. А.
Published: March 2021

В современной геометрии актуальна задача расширения транзитивной группы Ли $G$, действующей в~многообразии $M$. Под расширением транзитивной группы Ли $G$ понимается группа Ли $G_1$, содержащая $G$ в виде подгруппы Ли и тоже транзитивная на $M$, причем ограничение этого транзитивного действия на $G$ дает исходное транзитивное действие группы Ли~$G$. В~частности, можно говорить о расширении группы параллельных переносов трехмерного пространства $R^3$.
В данной работе ставится задача о нахождении всех локально дважды транзитивных расширений группы параллельных переносов трехмерного пространства. Эта задача сводится к вычислению алгебр Ли локально дважды транзитивных расширений группы параллельных переносов. Базисные операторы таких алгебр Ли находятся из решений особых систем трех дифференциальных уравнений. Доказано, что матрицы коэффициентов этих систем дифференциальных уравнений коммутируют между собой. Первая матрица приводится к жордановой форме, а остальные две матрицы упрощаются используя коммутативность и применяя допустимые преобразования. В результате имеем шесть типов алгебр Ли. Нахождению явных видов таких алгебр Ли и им соответствующих локальных групп Ли преобразований трехмерного пространства будет посвящена отдельная работа.
Quelle place pour les savoirs endogènes dans la lutte contre les changements climatiques? Des imaginaires alternatifs dans l’estuaire du fleuve Sénégal
Authors: BA Cheikh
Published: March 2021

Au Nord du Sénégal, l’estuaire du fleuve Sénégal est devenu une zone à risques à la suite de son anthropisation. Le pouvoir des expert-e-s est contesté dans sa légitimité. Il est nécessaire d’investir de nouvelles expériences pour renforcer la résilience dans un contexte de changement climatique. Des stratégies de lutte contre les inondations fluviales sont portées par une communauté « autochtone » : les Gandiolais-e-s. Ces derniers souhaiteraient apporter de nouvelles expériences de lutte contre les inondations face aux échecs répétés de certain-e-s expert-e-s dans la gestion de celles-ci. Aujourd’hui, il est nécessaire de renouveler les stratégies de gouvernance pour le bien-être de ces populations. Dans ce sillage, les stratégies de lutte portées par les Gandiolais-e-s, peuvent réorienter la trajectoire de gouvernance des inondations jusque-là non soutenables. Cet article mettra ainsi l’accent sur les savoirs endogènes environnementaux dans un contexte de crise écologique devenue planétaire. Grâce à une pluralité d’archives Nord-Sud, je montre les différentes possibilités de valorisation de savoirs locaux. Les observations et entretiens viendront appuyer mon propos. Je mobiliserai quelques savoirs environnementaux qui cherchent une place à côté des savoirs savants dans la construction de la résilience au service d’une intelligence collective.
Interpreting Online Discussions: Connecting Artifacts and Experiences in User Studies
Authors: Skågeby Jörgen
Published: March 2021

This paper presents a methodological effort to connect the specifics of technologies to the details of social practices, in an attempt to deepen our understanding of evolving sociotechnical cultures. More specifically, this paper describes a methodological framework that makes use of online discussions as a vital source of data. The reason the paper focuses on online discussion is that the Internet has become a natural habitat for discussions of high-end technologies, be they physical products or online services. The framework combines interpretative research and attribute-consequence-value (ACV) chain theory – a theory commonly applied to market and consumer research – to conceptualize and explore evolving prosumer cultures through online discussions. The benefit of using ACV chain theory is that it explicitly connects products and services to practices and values. The proposed methodological framework identifies three central techniques to elicit and analyse ACV chains from online prosumer discussions: (1) attribute analysis (2) Internet forum data collection and (3) thematic analysis. The paper goes on to exemplify the application of this framework by examining the sociotechnical co-evolution of the friend list – a backbone feature of many social networking services. In summary, this paper shows how ACV chains can be fruitfully applied to explore evolving prosumer cultures and make the vital connection between technical features and emerging cultures.
A “How-To” Introduction on Pursuing Arts-Based Fiction Research and Writing as a Methodology: A Review of Fiction as Research Practice: Short Stories, Novellas, and Novels
Authors: Luna Aniuska
Published: March 2021

Research written as fiction can expand the audience pool and reach of knowledge generated in an accessible, familiar and less convoluted format than its more traditional methodological counterparts. Leavy’s (2013) book demonstrates how this is the case. Sh e eases interested researchers into how to plan and execute fiction - based research, and provides examples, useful tips and resources. An issue that is not explored in detail, however, is the advantages for readers of reading texts produced through this met hodology over those produced by fiction writers. This issue aside, Fiction as a research practice: Short stories, novellas, and novels is a compellingly written “how - to” introduction to how researchers can explore the rich layers and meanings of their rese arch in a creative format.

In intensive raspberry growing, in order to achieve high, stable and regular yields, it is necessary to properly balance the mineral nutrition. For this purpose, an experiment with three variants of fertilization was set up (control, NPK 15:15:15 (800 kg ha-1), NPK 15:15:15 (800 kg ha-1) + KAN (400 kg ha-1)), on two plots Donja and Konopljak. The obtained results show that the lowest yield of raspberries was achieved in the control, while the application of NPK fertilizers and KAN determined an increase in the yield of raspberries, on both examined plots. The supplementary nutrition of KAN has shown positive effects on increasing the yield of raspberries. A higher average yield of raspberries was achieved on the plot Konopljak (17,380 kg ha-1) compared to the plot Donja (14,673 kg ha-1).

This study showed the effect of different methods of application of mineral fertiliser rates on the yield of two potato cultivars grown under the agroenvironmental conditions of the Radočelo Mountain massif on a luvisol exhibiting rather favourable agrophysical and some what poorer agrochemical properties. In 2018 and 2019, a trial with potato cvs. ‘Arizona’ and ‘Esmee’ was established. Planned rates of mineral fertilisers (N200, P150, K150) were applied as two treatments: treatment 1 – fertiliser rates were ploughed in during autumn, and treatment 2 – one half of the planned rates was applied during seedbed preparation and the other half in-furrow at planting. The results showed that the treatment involving the application of one half of the fertiliser rate before planting, and the other half at planting resulted in higher total yields of both potato cultivars compared with the placement of the whole rate of fertilisers during deep ploughing in autumn.

Meat is a product formed from skeletal muscles of animals through different biochemical processes following rigor mortis. Therefore, characteristics of muscle tissue, its structure, number, diameter and percentage of different muscle fiber types would greatly determine the quantity and the quality of meat. Having in mind that selection and nutrition led to nearly a maximum in meat production, and consumers are having higher and higher demands for „organic“ products, products from more natural production, their concern for animal welfare is rising, the implementation of physical activity in animal rearing could be of more importance in the future. Physical activity could imply outdoor systems, or semi-confinement systems with enriched environment. Also, the impact of this factor could be of higher importance in pigs and chicken, where intensive selection towards lean meat content increased the number of glycolytic fibers in muscles, leading to more pronounced problems with meat quality (PSE meat).

In this paper is shown an overview of researches on the effect of nutrition with diets and feeds rich in lipids, on the yield and chemical composition of milk, as well as on the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in milk fat at ruminants. The numerous studies have shown that many genetic and nongenetic factors affect on the milk fat and fatty acids content variations, whereas the main factor is animal nutrition. In addition to fresh forage intake (on pasture or in the stable) the second most important way to increase the PUFA content is using some oilseeds in rations. Among the researched species (soybean, sunflower, flax, cotton, peanuts), the best results were obtained with using heat-treated soybean, which also provides a higher content of undegradable protein.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of morbid-mortality, although better outcomes and lower mortality of age-adjusted coronary artery disease were registered since 1980s, especially in high-income populations, sustaining the cost effective of cardiac prevention methods. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the role of cardiac rehabilitation in improving psycho-emotional risk scores: the Hamilton Depression (HAM-D) and Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients, in less than one week after cardiovascular surgery and in 6 months follow-up after the engagement in the cardiac recovery program. Methods – During 01.05.2015 – 01.03.2017, CABG was performed in 100 patients, aged 40-80 years old, who followed rehabilitation in the Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Clinic. The mean age of the patients under study was 65.70 ± 9.91 years old. Results – In the fi rst phase of the cardiovascular rehabilitation program, the mean values were: 16 points for HAM-D, and 25 points on HAM-A scale. By comparing the Phase I and Phase III results, the median HAM-D score improved more than 50%, and HAM-A about 36% (p<0.05). Conclusion – The study highlighted the role of early rehabilitation after CABG surgery and the HAM-D and HAM-A scores improvement, emphasizing the importance of including psycho-emotional status assessment in the management of the patient who benefi ted from cardiac surgery. Apart from clinical data and the cardiovascular risk scores, the psycho-emotional risk stratification can provide important information regarding outcomes and prognosis.

Assessing the Risk of Bus Crashes in Transit Systems
Authors: Porcu Fabio
Published: March 2021

Although public transport buses may be considered a safe transportation mode, bus safety is a crucial issue from the perspectives of operators, passengers and local authorities owing to the relevant implications it generates. Therefore, assessing the risk of crashes on bus routes may help improve the safety performance of transit operators. Much research has identified patterns of bus crashes to understand the effects of many factors on the frequency and the severity of them. Conversely, to the best of our knowledge, the research measuring the risk of crashes in bus transit networks is seldom faced. This paper adjusts existing methods to assess the safety on bus transit networks by the integration of safety factors, prediction models and risk methods. More precisely, first, the methodology identifies several safety factors as well as the exposure risk factors. Second, this methodology specifies the risk components in terms of frequency, severity and exposure factors that may affect bus crashes and models their relationships in a risk function. Third, this methodology computes the risk of crashes for each route and provides a ranking of safety performance. A real case study demonstrates the feasibility of this methodology using 3,457 bus crashes provided by a mid-sized Italian bus operator. This experiment shows that transit managers could adopt this methodology to perform an accurate safety analysis on each route. Moreover, this methodology could be implemented in a road traffic safety management system in order to evaluate the risk of crashes on routes, monitor the safety performance of each route and qualify each route according to recent safety norms.

The purpose of the application focuses on an intermodal model (RPL) to simulate the transport choice for freight sending on the most relevant corridor Naples–Milan. In this, operate a rail- road system with the introduction a new short sea shipping (SSS) intermodal line (Naples Sea Genova road Milan). The paper considers a collaboration with a multimodal transport operator, with many logistic platforms in Italy to analyze the degree of competition inside corridor. An application along this very congested route Milan (Segrate interport) - Nola (Naples interport) was used. The econometric models applied to operator choices are a random parameter logit model vs multinomial logit model with frequency, type of load and cost as main parameters.
Development of congestion index model and analysis of mitigation measures on urban arterials using microsimulation
Authors: Akshara S.
Published: March 2021

Traffic congestion is one of the main issues related to traffic engineering, planning, and policies that directly influence the economy, environment, and lifestyle in developing countries, particularly in India. This study's main objectives are to establish the congestion index model and analyze the various mitigation measures using microsimulation. The required data were collected from selected two corridors in Tiruchirappalli, India. A correlation test was performed to identify the significant parameters that influence traffic congestion. Congestion Indices and Travel time reliability measures were computed to quantify congestion. Using a conventional regression technique, the congestion index model was developed to predict the congestion levels. The validated model predicts the congestion accurately. The mentioned statistical tests and model development were performed in SPSS 25.0 software at 95% confidence interval. A VISSIM based microsimulation was calibrated and simulated various mitigation measures with possible scenarios. Thus, the mind-numbing traffic jams can be reduced, and as a result, a great loss for the Indian economy can be reduced.

Published: March 2021

This paper provides background for an initial discussion under the Fifteenth General Review of Quotas (15th Review) in line with the work plan agreed by the Executive Board. It discusses issues related to further reforms of the quota formula and realigning quota shares, based on updated quota data through 2015. A companion paper, to be discussed separately, will address issues related to the size of the Fund and mix of quota and borrowed resources. Both these papers seek to facilitate initial discussions on some of the key issues for the 15th Review. No proposals are made at this stage, recognizing that further deliberations will be needed before the issues under discussion can begin to be narrowed down.

Authors: Hamilton-Ekeke Joy-Telu , Moses John
Published: March 2021

The purpose of the study is to ascertain if school variable (peer group pressure) and home variables (family history of alcohol consumption, socio-economic status of the family, attitude of parent towards alcohol drinking and cultural norms/festivity) lead to alcohol consumption among adolescents and proffer solution to the social menace of alcohol consumption among secondary school children. The study was a descriptive research design with mixed methods of data collection involving questionnaire and interview schedule. A sample of 100 students out of a population of 130 students and 180 students each of the mid-class (SS 2 and JS 2) of the senior and basic secondary schools respectively were involved in the study. Four hypotheses were posited and tested using Chi-square and statistical decisions made. The instruments for the study were questionnaire and interview schedule with a reliability coefficient of 0.78 using Pearson Moment Correlation Coefficient. It was found that parents are the major source of alcohol supply for many young Nigerians and children are often first introduced to alcohol in the family - home. Parents who drink alcohol are more likely to exhibit permissiveness towards alcohol use in their adolescent children. Based on the findings from this study, it could be concluded that children aged 10-16 years in Yenagoa metropolis of Nigeria, indulged in alcohol consumption regularly and in high quantity which is not good for their health. It is necessary that parents should present themselves as suitable role models in – order to guide their children against anti-social behaviours.

Published: March 2021

Human milk is a complex fluid, which contains a number of constituents such as fats, proteins and vitamins, in addition to other compounds. These nutrients are needed for infant protection against infections and diseases. This study was undertaken to evaluate some physicochemical properties and biochemical constituents content of human milk samples (based on the gender of the breast feeding infant). This includes acidity, density and viscosity, as well as lactose, protein, calcium and magnesium contents. Results showed that the highest value of viscosity as well as the highest percentages of protein and acidity were recorded for human breast milk for a boy (2.212 cP, 1.237% and 0.02% respectively) while close values for density and other biochemical contents were recorded for both types of samples. However, only the change in viscosity was found to be significant (p?0.05). Variations in some properties of human milk depending on the infant' sex could be of benefit for developing infant formula taking infant’s gender into consideration.

Undergraduate college students have been identified as at-risk population for development of suicidal ideation and depression.  Student nurses are among those who experience depression and anxiety due to stressful life events.  The stressful situations encountered by student nurses are multifaceted.  Thus, this study explored the level of depression and suicidal ideation of BSN students and the effect of gender and year level.  The need to explore these two salient factors was prompted by the need to promote and to improve school of nursing services, student safety, and decrease cases of depression and suicidal ideation among students.  The study utilized a descriptive design.  There were 326 student nurses who participated in the study.  The questionnaire which was used for this study was based on 2 standardized self – report questionnaire.  The findings showed that most of the students experienced mild to severe depression. Most of the students however, do not have suicidal ideation behavior, but almost one third of the students have a high risk for suicidal ideation behavior. Furthermore, the findings showed that gender and year level have no significant effect on the level of depression among BSN Students. Gender and year level have no significant effects in the level of suicidal ideation among student nurses.  These findings can help guide the development of a school-based, prevention and promotion mental health program.

Bacterium Aeromonas hydrophila (A. hydrophila) was isolated from the Petra Wastewater Treatment Plant effluent in southern Jordan. It was identified by using morphological and biochemical characteristics. A. hydrophila was found to be able of using chlorobenzoate compounds as carbon and energy source. These capabilities were with different biodegradation rates (4- chlorobenzoic acid 5µM/hr, 3,4-dichlorobenzoic acid 15.5µM/hr, 2- chlorobenzoic acid 41µM/hr and 3- chlorobenzoic acid 65µM/hr). The degradation ability was monitored through the release of chloride, disappearance of the substrate and finally the growth of bacterial cells on these substrates. A. hydrophila dioxygenases physiologically induced by chlorobenzoic acid compounds, were analyzed for both ortho or meta ring-cleavage of these aromatic compounds. Only 1, 2-dioxygenase activity was detected which suggest that the cleavage is through the ortho pathway. The best results of degradation of 2-CBA compound were obtained with 3mM substrate concentration, 25ºC, pH 7and 200µl inoculum size. The carbon sources affected the 2-CBA degradation differently from that on chloride and cell mass production. Nitrogen sources used reduced the degradation activity of the 2-CBA as well as in the chlorine release from 2-CBA. However, the nitrogen source L-proline had a slight enhancement effect on the biodegradation between the 40-80h.
