Role of Agni in Panchakarma Practice: A Conceptual Study
Authors: Haritha.K.S  , P. Murali Krishna
Published: November 2023

Panchakarma is a complex system of the expulsion of vitiated Doshas i.e., toxins, or waste and thus inducing purification of the body. They are therapeutic emesis (Vamana), therapeutic purgation (Virechana), decoction enema (Niruha Vasti), oil enema (Anuvasana Vasti), and instillation of medicine through the nose, (Nasya). All Panchakarma procedures are carried out in three stages known as Poorvakarma (pre-operative procedures), Pradhanakarma (operative procedures), and Paschat karma (post-operative procedures). Agni has a very important role in all these Poorva-Pradhana and Paschat karma. The order of Panchakarma starts with Deepana-Pachana. Then Sneha-Sweda and Pradhana karma. The role of Deepana-Pachana is the correction of deranged Agni. Because a Dravya has to get digested properly by the Jatharagni after which it starts its action, Exception for this in Vamana dravya. Furthermore, following Pradhana karma, the body experiences Suddhi as a result of the removal of Doshas, which results in Agnimandya. Agnimandya is corrected by Samsarjana krama. Thus, the successful administration of Panchakarma is solely dependent on the person's Agni status. So, in this paper, a humble attempt is made to understand the role of Agni in Panchakarma practice.

Power station plants and equipments are required to run for well beyond their intended lifetime. Opening up machines for inspections is expensive and owners need to consider all relevant information in making the decision. Problems in power station machine which reduce machine efficiency and reliability such as shaft misalignment, deposits on blades can be detected and monitoring using monitoring by performance analysis. This paper outlines some of the methods using precision techniques, which have contributed to proactive maintenance in the world - class- precision maintenance. Some of the tools used in this case are outlined and recommends that proper use of these tools in the Nigerian electric power stations could improve maintenance efforts and increase reliability, availability and customers’ satisfactions. Hence this paper can be legitimised by training, procedures and changes in human thinking and behaviours and largely getting to the roots of the errors. Root cause analysis is the tool designed to follow mechanism back to physical roots and probably eliminate it by training, procedures and changes which will form the basis for precision based reliability and knowing that predictive technology is the key to breaking error chains

Published: November 2023

The problem of this study is the gap between the management of banana superior commodities in Lumajang district at the upstream level and the main and downstream industry levels. The certification and standardization that have been obtained at the upstream level are not accompanied by significant efforts and results at the main and downstream industry levels so that the economic impact obtained by farmers, cultivators, and small and medium enterprises/industries (SMEs) has not increased significantly. The research was conducted through a qualitative method with a case study approach in Lumajang district. The results showed that the factors that are symptomatic of the suboptimal development of superior products in Lumajang district are insufficient post-harvest technology and production capacity as a prerequisite for market readiness, suboptimal market access capability and management, and regulatory support that has not been fully implemented. The recommendations include synergizing the roles of the East Java Provincial Government through the East Java Agricultural BPTP, the East Java Provincial Agriculture and Food Security Office, and the East Java Provincial Industry and Trade Office in facilitation activities that are oriented towards 3 things: first, increasing the growth and development of superior commodity productivity; second, increasing market access, management, and management of superior commodities; and third, strengthening the role and protection of farmers, cultivators, and small and medium industries/enterprises (MSMEs).

The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of vasopressin injected into the center of submucosal myomas using an ovum pick up needle during hysteroscopic myomectomy. Design: Canadian task force II-2 clinical study Setting: Urban clinical research center,38 patients were enrolled in the study Materials and Methods: A retrospective Canadian Task Force II-2 clinical study design conducted on women aged 22-55 years in an urban clinical research center. 38 symptomatic patients underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy after injection of dilute vasopressin (10U in 100mL Normal Saline). Around 5-8 mL was injected into the center of myomas using an ovum pick up needle, and the study was carried out between 2018-2021. Measured parameters were surgical operative time, and the secondary outcomes were related to fluid volume, visual clarity, and pregnancy outcome in patients with infertility. Results: The Wamsteker Grading System adopted by the European Society for Gynecological Endoscopy was used to classify the myomas. The mean time of myomectomy was 22 minutes (normal range: 15-40 minutes), with a median fluid deficit of 700 mL (normal range: 500- 900mL); one patient had more than 1000 mL fluid deficit which was detected immediately and managed efficiently. This patient had the longest surgical operative time of 40 minutes with 10 multiple myomas between 1 and 4 cm in size. The diagnosis of the size, number, and grade of submucosal myomas was made by transvaginal ultrasound. In our study it was observed that the use of vasopressin injection during hysteroscopic myomectomy resulted in significantly reduced surgical operative time, minimal fluid deficit, lesser bleeding with a clear surgical field, and improved pregnancy outcome in infertility patients. Conclusion: Injection of vasopressin during hysteroscopic myomectomy was found to be effective in decreasing surgical operative time, improvement of visual clarity, thereby improving pregnancy outcomes in patients presenting with infertility.

Short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) total length estimation using laser photogrammetry off the southwest coast of Ireland
Authors: O'Callaghan Seán , Daly Mags , Berrow Simon
Published: November 2023

Measurements from 106 stranded short‐beaked common dolphins along the Irish coast were taken between March 2017 and March 2023. Data were collected from the Irish Necropsy Project and Irish Cetacean Stranding Scheme. Total length measurements were gathered from 103 individuals where the tail flukes were still attached. These ranged between 96–238cm, mean 185.7cm, SD 31.43cm. Males (n = 58) ranged from 96–238cm, averaging 189cm, SD 34.64cm. Females (n = 40) measured 117.5–231cm, averaging 181cm, SD 25.80cm. Scaled dorsal fin photos were taken from stranded dolphins to formulate an equation to estimate the total length of live dolphins. The total lengths of 29 live common dolphins were estimated off the southwest coast of Ireland using laser photogrammetry and dorsal fin dimensions between March 2018–April 2019. Total lengths for three stranded dolphins with amputated tail flukes were also estimated. Dorsal fin base lengths were the most accurate predictor of total length R2 = 0.78. Total length estimates ranged between 143.77–242.25cm, averaging 194.78cm, SD 20.05cm. The adoption of laser photogrammetry as a measurement tool warrants further exploration as a means to reduce potential disruption from aerial systems and enhance the utility of behavioural and photo‐ID images. This study describes a non‐invasive technique with a range of possible applications for understanding pod size structure and seasonality due to this species’ approachable behaviour and inquisitive nature.

Authors:   Nelson Mandela University, Calitz AP , Cullen M ,   Nelson Mandela University
Published: November 2023

Research supervision is an important component in an academic’s career and remains a challenging task. Students having to complete a research thesis, dissertation or treatise, generally struggle to complete the research component of their postgraduate studies. Research alignment is a topic discussed in various approaches to research supervision, specifically relating to research methods, guidelines and tools. The supervisors' role is to guide the student during their research process, offering advice in their field of study, providing research direction, setting milestones and monitoring the student’s progress. The Research Alignment Plan (RAP) was specifically developed to assist postgraduate students with planning the outline and structure of their Master of Business Administration (MBA) treatise or Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) thesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the students’ perceptions regarding the use of the RAP during their studies. The study was qualitative and open-ended questions were included in the questionnaire, which was distributed to the supervised MBA and DBA students. The survey was completed by 25 MBA and DBA students. The findings indicate that the RAP is an effective instrument, which assists students to structure their research, align the research problem with the research objectives, research questions and chapter’s outcomes or deliverables. All respondents recommended that the RAP be used by all students in the Business School and be incorporated in the Research Methodology module.
A Critical View On Doctoral Supervisor Capacity Development At A South African University Of Technology
Authors:   Central University of Technology, Lategan LOK , Nel EP ,   Central University of Technology, Bitzer EM ,   Stellenbosch University
Published: November 2023

Growing the number of doctoral graduates, increasing the capacity for study supervision, and enhancing the quality of research output and impact remain some of the many challenges for higher education institutions in South Africa – especially for universities of technology (UoTs). Study supervisors at UoTs often lack sufficient experience and capacity to guide doctoral students to timely and successful completion. This article explores one such case as an example of critically assessing the capacity, quality, and effectiveness of supervisory development at a UoT. Our valuational stance involves observing aspects of institutional support to grow supervision capacity, comparing research performance to peer universities in the UoT cluster and engaging the South African university system as related to relevant literature on doctoral supervision and graduation. The selected institutional case revealed that supervisory capacity and subsequent graduations have improved significantly over time. However, the challenge remains to graduate increasing numbers of doctoral students, hence the need for further enhancing supervisory capacity. The inquiry also points to the need for increasing throughput figures and graduation in meeting institutional targets. The UoT under scrutiny had introduced several strategies to capacitate doctoral supervisors, including promoting relevant supervisory skills, scientific writing and communication. It also promoted research dissemination, incentives to support research capacity development, and policies to enhance quality supervision. Since the range and scope of developmental actions and activities at the selected UoT were too broad to evaluate in one project, the focus was on one aspect of supervisor support, namely an institution-wide postgraduate supervision developmental programme. Programme results for the period 2017 to 2021 were critically evaluated, addressing two key dimensions: enhancing doctoral supervision capacity and trends in doctoral graduations. These dimensions are discussed against the background of relevant literature on supervisory capacity, peer UoT cluster trends in South Africa, as well as trends related to the whole public university system in South Africa. The article concludes with important lessons learnt from the institutional case and suggestions to enhance research into doctoral supervisor developmental interventions within an UoT context.

В статье рассматриваются концептуальные основы и методические подходы, связанные с регионализацией процессов декарбонизации экономики России в свете реализации Стратегии социально-экономического развития РФ с низким уровнем выбросов парниковых газов до 2050 г. Предлагается концептуальная схема учета региональных особенностей при разработке сценариев декарбонизации экономики России, включая ключевые отрасли – неэнергетические секторы, что особенно актуально в условиях существенной пространственной дифференциации как показателей социально-экономического развития и отраслевой структуры отдельных российских регионов, так и размещения интенсивных по выбросам парниковых газов производств. Предлагаемый подход к регионализации объема выбросов парниковых газов основан на определении региональной структуры производства и его технологического ландшафта, а также интегральных оценках перспективности региональной декарбонизации. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы при разработке сценариев декарбонизации экономики России и ее отдельных отраслей.
Luces y sombras de la expansión del principio de continuidad en nuestras Cortes Generales
Authors: Astarloa Huarte-Mendicoa Ignacio
Published: November 2023

El principio de continuidad es hoy, afortunadamente, uno de los principios que caracterizan un parlamento moderno. Entre nosotros, la Constitución y sus normas de desarrollo han cambiado la tradición histórica de suspensiones y cierres por voluntad de sujetos ajenos a las Cámaras. Se han previsto normativamente unas diputaciones permanentes con capacidad de reacción en períodos de disolución. Se ha garantizado la sucesión automática de legislaturas. Hay amplios períodos anuales ordinarios de trabajo y existe la posibilidad de que las Cámaras celebren sesiones extraordinarias. Y, en desarrollo de las normas, las Cámaras, con numerosos acuerdos, precedentes y usos, algunos poco conocidos, han contribuido decisivamente a ampliar el modelo de continuidad. Las especiales circunstancias que se acaban de vivir en la Legislatura XIV han servido, además, para certificar que hoy se demanda la continuidad parlamentaria incluso en las circunstancias más extraordinarias.
Salud, escuela y ruralidad en Chile y Argentina, fines del siglo XIX e inicios del XX
Authors: Dahhur Astrid , Cammarota Adrian
Published: November 2023

En los últimos años la historia social de la salud y la enfermedad profundizaron sus estudios tomando como epicentro los escenarios de la trama urbana. La escasez documental, su dispersión y el protagonismo de las ciudades han hecho que la campiña no haya sido estudiada con la misma densidad que las ciudades.  Sin embargo, lentamente los espacios rurales han comenzado a ser foco de interés de lo/as investigadores/as contribuyendo a enhebrar las tramas históricas de las ruralidades pensadas como constructos culturales más que geográficos. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este dossier es contribuir a las pesquisas sobre la salud y educación rural en Chile y Argentina desde fines del siglo XIX hasta mediados del XX, analizando las políticas de salud públicas, las representaciones de las comunidades en torno a la medicina popular y de las niñeces indígenas y el rol que jugó la escuela en la atención sanitarias. Bajo el amparo de una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, la propuesta nos invita a pensar la problemática desde diversas posturas metodológicas y conceptuales del campo de las Ciencias Sociales.

Authors: Rapolthy-Beck Andrea , Fleming Jennifer , Turpin Merrill , Sosnowski Kellie , Dullaway Simone , White Hayden
Published: November 2023

Importance: This research trial contributes to the evidence for occupational therapy service delivery in intensive care settings.

Objective: To explore the feasibility of a trial to evaluate the impact of early enhanced occupational therapy on mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care.

Design: Single-site assessor-blinded randomized controlled feasibility trial.

Setting: Level 5 8-bed adult medical–surgical intensive care unit (ICU) at Logan Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.

Participants: Participants were 30 mechanically ventilated patients randomly allocated to two groups.

Outcomes and Measures: We compared standard care with enhanced occupational therapy with outcomes measured at discharge from the ICU, hospital discharge, and 90 days post randomization. The primary outcome measure was the FIM®. Secondary outcomes included the Modified Barthel Index (MBI); Montreal Cognitive Assessment; grip strength, measured using a dynamometer; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; and the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (Version 2). The intervention group received daily occupational therapy, including cognitive stimulation, upper limb retraining, and activities of daily living. Data were analyzed using independent groups t tests and effect sizes.

Results: Measures and procedures were feasible. A significant difference was found between groups on FIM Motor score at 90 days with a large effect size (p = .05, d = 0.76), and MBI scores for the intervention group approached significance (p = .051) with a large effect size (d = 0.75) at 90 days. Further moderate to large effect sizes were obtained for the intervention group for cognitive status, functional ability, and quality of life.

Conclusions and Relevance: This trial demonstrated that occupational therapy is feasible and beneficial in the ICU. Criteria to progress to a full-scale randomized controlled trial were met. This study contributes to embedding ongoing consistency of practice and scope of service delivery for occupational therapy in this field.

What This Article Adds: Occupational therapists should be considered core team members in the critical care–ICU, with funding to support ongoing service provision and optimization of patient outcomes based on effective and feasible service delivery.

This article aims to reflect on teacher education in the perspective of inclusive education. To do so, it is anchored in the thinking of Brazil (2001), Glat and Nogueira (2002), Mendes (2006) and Silva (2003), among others, aiming at understanding how the insertion of the disabled student occurs in regular school and how if they give the teacher training to serve this clientele. From this academic production, it is possible to contribute to the reflection on inclusive pedagogical practices that should be privileged in the school and from the need for the continued formation of the teacher who opts for inclusive education for all.

This study sought to assess and recommend ways of solving the problem of students’ disruptive behaviour in the classroom in mixed secondary schools in Kisauni Sub-county, Mombasa County, Kenya. The objective of this study was to find out the relationship between classroom control practices by prefects and student disruptive behaviour in the classroom mixed secondary schools in Kisauni Sub-county, Mombasa County, Kenya. The data was collected and analysed using a descriptive design, and the study's target population included 24 mixed secondary schools, 96 class teachers, and 840 form four students in Kisauni Sub-county. The study sampled 8 schools and 24 class teachers using both the purposive and simple random sampling techniques. A simple random sampling procedure was employed in order to select the actual students/respondents to participate in the study. Descriptive statistics computed included means, frequencies, standard deviation and percentages. In order to test hypotheses, f- and t-statistics shall be computed to test significant statistical differences at a 95 per cent significance level. Data were presented in diagrams, charts and tables. There is a moderate positive correlation between prefects' classroom control practices and students' disruptive behaviour (r =.269, p .000<.05). Prefects' classroom control practices are an important predictor of the students' disruptive behaviour (? = .269, p =.000<0.05, t = 4.286). The study is significant in that it will help teachers understand different student disruptive behaviours in secondary school, which will give directions on how to curb such behaviours.
Utilizing the time-to-event framework to estimate elk abundance over a large spatial scale in the Klamath Mountains of California

In northern California, Roosevelt (Cervus canadensis roosevelti) and Rocky Mountain (C. c. nelsoni) elk occupy a wide variety of habitats over a large extent, including the Marble Mountains Elk Management Unit (MM EMU). Dense forest canopy and steep, mountainous terrain present significant challenges for monitoring elk populations using traditional aerial and ground-based methods. These constraints have resulted in inadequate spatial and temporal research and monitoring. To address the need for comprehensive and reliable elk abundance estimates, we implemented a landscape-level camera trap study within the MM EMU. We deployed 180 cameras and applied a time-to-event model to estimate elk abundance. This method uses the movement rate, area in front of each camera, and leverages the latency time to detection for a given species. Analysis yielded an estimate of 1,415 (95% CI: 1,044–1,919) elk across the management unit. Here, we present the use of a recently developed method to non-invasively estimate the abundance of unmarked elk at the landscape-level in northern California. Implementation of this method can provide reliable information to aid management decisions for the continued recreational, ecological, and economic benefits of elk and wildlife in general.
Development of habitat suitability criteria for macroinvertebrate community metrics for use in habitat restoration projects
Authors: Gard Mark
Published: November 2023

Community-based macroinvertebrate habitat suitability criteria are needed for two reasons: (1) community-based criteria, such as with macroinvertebrates, are a better measure of ecosystem health than single-species habitat suitability criteria (HSC); and (2) if food rather than physical habitat is the limiting factor for juvenile salmonids, it is better to evaluate habitat restoration projects based on macroinvertebrate habitat than juvenile habitat. The goal of this study was to generate habitat suitability criteria for macroinvertebrates in the Sacramento River. Habitat suitability criteria were derived for three macroinvertebrate community metrics. One of the metrics (biomass of baetids, chironomids and hydropsychids) was selected to represent food supply for juvenile salmonids, while the other two metrics (total biomass and diversity) were selected as measures of ecosystem health. Baetidae, Chironomidae and Hydropsychidae were chosen because they are the dominant taxa present in stomach contents samples of Sacramento River juvenile Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tschawytscha. Habitat suitability criteria were developed using data from 75 macroinvertebrate samples stratified by season, mesohabitat type, depth, velocity, and substrate. The criteria for depth, velocity and substrate were developed taking into account several potential confounding variables, and using a polynomial regression for depth and velocity, and analysis of variance for substrate (a categorical variable). The criteria showed no effect of substrate on baetid/chironomid/hydropsychid biomass or diversity. Criteria for total biomass showed a higher suitability for larger cobbles, versus other substrates, for total biomass. The optimum depths for baetid/chironomid/hydropsychid biomass, total biomass and diversity were, respectively, 0.82–0.85 m, 0.61–0.67 m and 1.16–1.19 m. The optimum velocities for baetid/chironomid/hydropsychid biomass, total biomass and diversity were, respectively, 0.73–0.79 m/sec, 0.61–0.67 m/sec, and 0.61–0.73 m/s. Suggestions for development of future macroinvertebrate HSC include: (1) stratifying sampling by depth, velocity and substrate; (2) measuring the amount of organic matter in samples for use as an additional potential confounding factor; and (3) sampling a large area (0.84 m2) with a sampler with a rubber foam lining on the bottom of the sampler.
¿La educación superior enseña a pensar críticamente?

Existe una brecha notoria y creciente entre las
cualificaciones que certifica un grado universitario y las competencias
genéricas del siglo XXI con las que se gradúan realmente los estudiantes al
final de la educación superior. Cuando hablamos de competencias genéricas nos
referimos a las habilidades de lectoescritura y pensamiento crítico que
incluyen las habilidades de solución de problemas, razonamiento analítico y
capacidad de comunicación. A medida que la automatización se va apropiando de
las tareas no cognitivas, o de bajo nivel cognitivo, en el mundo laboral
actual, estas competencias genéricas empiezan a cobrar un valor especial, pero
el hecho de tener un grado terciario no es un buen indicador del nivel de esas
competencias. En los Estados Unidos, el Consejo para la Ayuda de la Educación
(CAE) desarrolló una evaluación de las competencias genéricas llamada CLA+ y
entre los años 2016 y 2021 realizó pruebas en seis países: Estados Unidos,
Reino Unido, Italia, México, Finlandia y Chile. Este libro reúne la información
y los análisis de esta "Iniciativa Internacional CLA+". ¿La educación
superior enseña a pensar críticamente? fue publicado originalmente en inglés
