Des élèves en difficulté aux dispositifs d’aide : une nouvelle organisation du travail enseignant ?
Authors: Félix Christine , Saujat Frédéric , Combes Christelle
Published: September 2021

Le terme « dispositif », associé à celui « d’aide » ou « d’accompagnement » est devenu un terme courant pour désigner le cadre dans lequel les professionnels de l’éducation sont désormais chargés de concevoir et d’exercer leur métier. Alléguant un nombre de plus en plus important d’élèves en difficulté, les pouvoirs publics mettent en œuvre une politique de développement de dispositifs d’aide et d’individualisation de l’aide aux élèves. Mais que sait-on du fonctionnement de ces dispositifs et de leurs effets sur l’activité des protagonistes ? Dans la lignée de la tradition de l’approche ergonomique de l’activité enseignante, cette contribution s’attachera à éclairer la question de l’aide en milieu scolaire, lorsque sa mise en œuvre est prescrite dans des milieux de travail différents, souvent à la périphérie de la classe, au croisement de temporalités et de spatialités diversifiées. La présentation de quelques résultats saillants, issus de l’élaboration d’un observatoire des métiers de l’Education Prioritaire, nous donnera accès à des débats, des controverses professionnelles, des conflits de critères qui, lorsqu’ils ne sont pas reconnus par l’institution, renvoient les enseignants vers l’obligation d’errer tout seuls devant l’étendue du réel de leur activité.
Efficacité et déterminations des pratiques d’Aide Personnalisée à l’école primaire : une approche didactique
Authors: Toullec-Théry Marie , Marlot Corinne
Published: September 2021

Cette recherche exploratoire repose sur l’analyse didactique de deux études de cas à l’école primaire. Notre propos consiste à interroger les pratiques que les professeurs mettent en œuvre dans le cadre des dispositifs d’Aide Personnalisée. C’est à partir des caractéristiques de l’aide ordinaire pratiquée en classe, que nous avons questionné ces nouveaux dispositifs du point de vue de leur efficacité mais aussi de leurs déterminations. Notre recherche – qui s’ancre dans la Théorie de l’Action Conjointe en Didactique (TACD) – montre que l’aide est vue par les professeurs étudiés comme une simplification de l’enjeu de savoir initial qui peut prendre deux aspects, soit un fractionnement soit un éparpillement des jeux d’apprentissage. Cette simplification a tendance à développer des automatismes, ce qui ne permet pas, le plus souvent, à ces élèves de renouer avec le temps didactique de la classe.
Do silêncio às ações corporificadas em interações de crianças com Transtorno do Espectro do autismo não-verbais
Authors: Cruz Fernanda Miranda , Tamanaha Ana Carina
Published: September 2021

Este artigo analisa interações de duas crianças de sete anos não verbais com Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo e uma fonoaudióloga. Foram analisados cinco excertos extraídos de registro audiovisual de sessões individuais e presenciais de intervenção fonoaudiológica em que essas crianças são introduzidas a um sistema de comunicação por cartões com figuras. As análises revelam que as dinâmicas interacionais construídas via cartões estão intrinsicamente relacionadas aos arranjos do espaço físico; aos movimentos corporais dos participantes; à trajetória sequencial de múltiplas atividades e à própria materialidade do sistema de comunicação como uma estrutura semiótica. Uma análise multimodal, atenta às temporalidades, às trajetórias e às projeções das ações construídas em silêncio, permitiu mostrar como o trabalho de implementação de um sistema de comunicação alternativo para indivíduos não verbais está imbricado em uma complexa dinâmica interacional e multimodal (material, corporal e linguística) da interação face a face.

There are unmeasurable financial influences in the short-term and long-term and have causes intangible destruction within businesses. This study investigates the adoption and utilization of e-business during COVID-19 by both organizations and the general populaces. The study used a questionnaire-based survey to collect data from top managers of business organizations and their clients. SPSS was used to analyze the adoption factors. The outcomes presented that embracing e-business can assist to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and can reduce the physical ways of doing business. The findings of this study will help strategy makers, companies, and officials in making better decisions on the implementation of e-business. This will reduce the rapid spread of community transmission since ordering goods and services can easily be done virtually without physical contact, which goes in line with the social distance policy and in return boost the country’s economy
Investigating the Mechanical Behavior of 3D Printed PLA-Coco Coir Composites
Authors: Maglalang Paul Eric C. , Basilia Blessie A. , Monsada Araceli Magsino
Published: September 2021

It is quite amazing that the use of 3D printing techniques, especially the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) has delivered such significance in terms of cost reduction, time saver features where a different variety of thermoplastic and composite materials (Biodegradable and Non-biodegradable) are well developed. Different sectors have continually developed natural organic materials that are also both structurally composite in nature. Similarly, the use of different fibers that are abundantly accessible and considered as renewable resources which can be optionally combined with other biodegradable materials is a great challenge through the use of the FDM printing method. The study aims to determine the effect of different particle size and raster angle at a certain fiber concentration which could affect the mechanical properties of the composite by developing a printable composite filament made of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Coco Coir materials using a filament maker and FDM printer. The composite filament was fabricated and optimized using a twin-screw extruder and 3D Devo Filament maker. 3D printing of samples for mechanical testing was conducted using three (3) raster angles (45o, 60o, and 75o) and various particle sizes of coco coir fiber reinforcement in the PLA matrix. Results showed that the < 74μm particle size of the coco-coir exhibited a 24% and 175% increase in tensile strength and izod impact strength compared to the pure PLA at 60o and 75o raster angles, respectively. Likewise, the reinforcement of <149μm particle size coco coir at 45o raster angle contributes to an increase of 4.8% flexural and 176% compressive strength compared to pure PLA. The study concludes that there is an improvement in the mechanical properties of the PLA-Coco Coir composite at a certain particle size and raster angle in 3D printing.
Comparison of the Protection Performance of Calciofon and Rosmarinus Officinalis on Low Carbon Steel Corrosion in Petrochemical Drilling Fluid
Authors: Loto Roland Tolulope
Published: September 2021

Application of sustainable chemical compounds for corrosion protection of carbon steels employed in H2O formed petrochemical drilling fluid environment (WPDF) is an effective alternative to toxic chemical compounds. The protection performance of calciofon (CF) and rosmarinus officinalis (RS) on low carbon steel (LST) in WPDF was studied with potentiodynamic polarization technique and optical microscopic characterization. Results output depict CF and RS performed adequately at specific inhibitor concentrations with average inhibition performance above 80% for CG and 90% for RS. CG exhibited mixed type inhibition effect compared to RS which exhibited anodic inhibition. The polarization curves obtained in the presence of both compounds showed they induce passivation of LST surface after anodic polarization before breakdown at the transpassive region from the lowest to highest concentration inhibitor concentrations due to their film forming and adsorption characteristics. This observation was corroborated from the protected steel surfaces which contrasts the non-protected control steel specimen which exhibited severe surface deterioration, corrosion pits and numerous furrows.

Authors: Limpitipanich Paiboon , Suttakul Pana , Mona Yuttana , Fongsamootr Thongchai
Published: September 2021

Over the past years, two-dimensional lattices have attracted the attention of several researchers because they are lightweight compared with their full-solid counterparts, which can be used in various engineering applications. Nevertheless, since lattices are manufactured by reducing the base material, their stiffnesses then become lower. This study presents the weight efficiency of the lattices defined by relations between the elastic modulus and the weight density of the lattices. In this study, the mechanical behavior of 2D lattices is described by the in-plane elastic modulus. Experimental studies on the elastic modulus of the 2D lattices made of steel are performed. Three lattices having different unit cells, including square, body-centered, and triangular unit cells, are considered. The elastic modulus of each lattice is investigated by tensile testing. All specimens of the lattices are made of steel and manufactured by waterjet cutting. The experimental results of the elastic modulus of the lattices with the considered unit-cell patterns are validated with those obtained from finite element simulations. The results obtained in this study are also compared with the closed-form solutions founded in the literature. Moreover, the unit-cell pattern yielding the best elastic modulus for the lattice is discussed through weight efficiency.
Influence of Loading History on Delamination in Multilayered Beam with Creep
Authors: Rizov Victor Iliev
Published: September 2021

The present paper deals with an analytical study of the time-dependent delamination in a multilayered inhomogeneous cantilever beam with considering of the loading history. The multilayered beam exhibits creep behaviour that is treated by using a non-linear stress-strain-time relationship. The material properties are continuously distributed along the thickness and length of the layers. The external loading is applied in steps in order to describe the loading history. The analysis reveals that during each step of the loading, the strain energy release rate increases with time. The influences of crack length and location on the time-dependent strain energy release rate are also investigated.
Behavior of CSC-Type Shear Connectors under Pry-Out Shear Test: Analytical Study
Authors: Hurtado Xavier Fernando , Molina Maritzabel
Published: September 2021

The use of cold-formed steel (CFS) shapes in steel-concrete composite sections has increased over the past 20 years in the construction industry worldwide. This system has constructive advantages such as high load-bearing capacity, high stiffness and ductility, ease of transportation and assembly, and full usage of the capacity of the materials. Additionally, CFS sections are considered a sustainable alternative in construction.The capacity of the system depends on the effectiveness of shear connectors during the transfer of stress between materials. Currently, the push-out experimental test follows a standardized procedure to evaluate the capacity of shear connectors in composite sections, but CFS shapes have demonstrated premature failures by local buckling, thus questioning the applicability of the experimental test for such configurations.In this research, the capacity of the proposed confined shear connectors (CSC) is evaluated in composite systems, through the alternative pry-out test methodology. From numerical models, the effects of the steel shape thickness, the thickness of concrete slabs, the compressive strength of concrete and the separation between connectors in composite systems are studied. The analysis concluded that, under this test methodology, the separation between connectors does not represent statistically significant changes in the final capacity of the composite system.

Authors: Lhabitant Solène , Toufine Alain , Hor Anis
Published: September 2021

Directed energy deposition (DED) is an Additive Manufacturing process deposing fused metal powder on a preexisting substrate. This document shows the influence of heat treatment on P295GH deposit made by DED, for hybridization process. The heat treatment must reduce the macroscopic differences between the rolled substrate and the deposited DED material. The experimental plan has been defined around AC3 temperature, according to P295GH existing literature. XRD analysis, hardness measurements and metallographic inspections have been performed on samples before and after heat treatment. XRD analysis and hardness measurements have shown an isotropic material. The as-built microstructure is ferritic and acicular, but coarsens after the heat treatment. The study promotes a heat treatment at 800°C during 3 hours to obtain the best compromise between properties, impact on the substrate and differences with the rolled substrate.

Authors: Marchiori Leonardo , Studart André , Albuquerque António , Cavaleiro Victor , Silva Abílio P.
Published: September 2021

A water treatment sludge (WTS) was characterized in order to evaluate if its properties would be suitable for use as liner of earthworks or for strengthening a clay soil. A WTS and a clayey soil was characterized in terms of granulometry, cumulative volumes, specific surface, density, plastic limit, liquid limit, water content, hydraulic conductivity, and characteristics of compaction (optimal water content and dry density). This study aimed to exhibit and evaluate these investigated parameters of WTS, soft soil and mixed proportions between the materials for liners’ material production while evaluating soft soils’ reinforcement feasibility. The results have shown WTS’s contribution with its fine granulometry and compaction characteristics, indicating filling properties and possible feasibility as soft soils additions for liners’ material production while being applicable for soils‘ reinforcements, corroborating with existing literature on the subject. Thus, the currently developed investigation has exposed WTS as a potential addition for these applications while also attending society’s new demands towards a more sustainable future.
Influence of Creep on Longitudinal Fracture of Inhomogeneous Rod Loaded in Torsion and Bending
Authors: Rizov Victor Iliev
Published: September 2021

The present paper analyzes the influence of creep on longitudinal fracture in continuously inhomogeneous rod of circular cross-section loaded in torsion and bending. The rod exhibits continuous material inhomogeneity in both radial and longitudinal directions. The creep is described by using non-linear time-dependent relations between the principle stresses and strains. A time-dependent solution to the strain energy release rate is derived by analyzing the complementary strain energy. The time-dependent strain energy release rate is found also by considering the energy balance for verification. The solutions are applied to perform a parametric study of the strain energy release rate under creep.

Poverty, Pandemics, and Wildlife Crime
Authors: Anagnostou Michelle , Moreto William D. , Gardner Charlie J. , Doberstein Brent
Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a global recession and mass unemployment. Through reductions in trade and international tourism, the pandemic has particularly affected rural economies of tropical low- and middle-income countries where biodiversity is concentrated. As this adversity is exacerbating poverty in these regions, it is important to examine the relationship between poverty and wildlife crime in order to better anticipate and respond to the impact of the pandemic on biodiversity. To that end, we explore the relationship between poverty and wildlife crime, and its relevance in the context of a global pandemic. We examine literature from conservation, criminology, criminal justice, and social psychology to piece together how the various dimensions of poverty relate directly and indirectly to general criminal offending and the challenges this poses to conservation. We provide a theoretical framework and a road map for understanding how poverty alleviation relates to reduced wildlife crime through improved economic, human, socio-cultural, political, and protective capabilities. We also discuss the implications of this research for policy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. We conclude that multidimensional poverty and wildlife crime are intricately linked, and that initiatives to enhance each of the five dimensions can reduce the poverty-related risks of wildlife crime.
Comparison of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Gallium-68 Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography for Detecting Carcinoma Prostate in Patients with Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen between 4 and 20 ng/ml
Authors: Soni Brijesh Kumar , Verma Priyanka , Shah Amit Kumar , Singh Rajendra , Sonawane Sunita , Asopa Ramesh V.
Published: September 2021

Introduction:

We carried out this study to compare the diagnostic accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and gallium-68 prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT) to detect prostatic carcinoma in patients with serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) between 4 and 20 ng/ml in prebiopsy setting.

Materials and Methods:

This prospective study evaluated men with serum PSA values between 4 and 20 ng/ml. All patients underwent mpMRI and Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT, followed by 12-core transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided biopsy to detect prostatic carcinoma. The diagnostic accuracy of mpMRI and PSMA PET/CT scan was compared with histopathological findings.

Results:

There were thirty patients included in the study with a median age of 73 years (age range: 69–79 years). The median total serum PSA was 8.0 ng/ml (5.0–19.9 ng/ml). Of these, 18 had an identifiable lesion on imaging and had histopathological findings suggestive of carcinoma prostate. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of mpMRI were 100%, 92.30%, 94.73%, and 100%, respectively, and that of PSMA PET scan were 94.44%, 100%, 100%, and 92.31%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of both was 96.67%.

Conclusion:

PSMA PET scan showed higher PPV and specificity while mpMRI showed higher sensitivity and NPV. The accuracy in predicting presence of carcinoma was the same for both. PSMA PET showed higher specificity and PPV and predicted the subsequent need of biopsy. In our study, the NPV of PET, though good, was lower than mpMRI. Prospective trials with larger sample size are needed. In combination, PET/MRI may achieve greater accuracy and may serve as investigation of choice.

Authors: Yadav Naveen , Taywade Sameer , Kumar Rajesh , Prashanth Arun
Published: September 2021

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood developing from primitive neural crest cells. I-131-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) a norepinephrine analog is highly sensitive and specific to identify primary and distant metastatic sites. We report the case of a 2-year-old female child with progressively increasing abdominal distention. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a large mass lesion involving the right suprarenal region with no hepatic or lymph node metastasis. No obvious skeletal abnormality was detected on the whole-body skeletal survey and Tc-99 m-methylene diphosphonate bone scan to suggest metastasis. I-131-MIBG scintigraphy with single-photon emission computerized tomography-CT showed MIBG-avid primary tumor in a suprarenal location with bilateral lower limbs growth plate as the only site of metastasis.

Published: September 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has had implications in the central nervous system. COVID-19 infection is characterized by coagulation activation and endothelial dysfunction, causing the endocrine system's ischemic and hemorrhagic vascular syndromes. We aimed to provide an overview of the global literature on the impact of COVID-19 on pituitary function and structure. A narrative, nonsystematic review of the literature retrieved from a significant medical online database (PubMed) between February 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021. The relevant literature was narrated in a concise thematic account. Most specific recommendations for managing endocrine disorders during COVID-19 rely on the same principles of epidemiological safety measures, delaying nonemergency admissions and transforming the routine follow-up to telemedicine clinics. Ongoing medications should be continued. Special attention is required to both primary and secondary adrenal disorders. Corticosteroids are a mainstay of treatment in COVID-19 infection. Therefore, it is essential to consider all aspects of high doses, including adverse metabolic reactions, especially in people with diabetes and prediabetes. Surgery is postponed for nonemergency situations, restricting most planned surgeries, and if required in an emergency, plans should include an additional risk. Sick-day rules should be adhered to strictly. Regular contact with endocrinology teams can be maintained through teleconsultations and virtual clinics. In conclusion, special attention is needed to the interaction between COVID-19 infection and pituitary conditions in a bidirectional manner. The direct impact of COVID-19 on pituitary structure and function is possible and should be recognized timely and treated effectively. Furthermore, appropriate organizational adjustments are needed to maintain a coordinated response within the conventional multidisciplinary management to optimize the care of patients with pituitary conditions among the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Prevalence of Marine-Lenhart syndrome on 99mTc-thyroid scintigraphy and response to radioiodine: A single institutional retrospective study
Authors: Agrawal Kanhaiyalal , Patro P. , Meher Bikash , Gnanasegaran Gopinath
Published: September 2021

Marine-Lenhart Syndrome is a rare entity, described as Graves' disease with coexisting functioning thyroid nodules. It is often diagnosed on thyroid scintigraphy as a cold nodule with surrounding extranodular hyperactivity initially and postradioiodine ablation, they regain function on the follow-up thyroid scintigraphy due to endogenous thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation. We retrospectively reviewed all thyroid scintigraphy database performed between January 2018 and March 2020 in our institute. We searched patients with Graves' disease with the following criteria to suggest Marine-Lenhart Syndrome: (a) initial thyroid scintigraphy showing features of Graves' disease with coexistent poorly functioning nodules (b) There is normalization of uptake within the nodule on thyroid scan after radioiodine ablation suggestive of endogenous TSH stimulation (this also indirectly proves nodules are TSH dependent), (c) nodule(s) is/are benign on fine-needle aspiration cytology. Four patients (1.46%) were confirmed as Marine-Lenhart Syndrome as per the criteria. Three patients were female, and one was male. The eye signs were present in two of four patients. Two patients had two hypofunctioning nodules, whereas the remaining two had a single nodule and required re-ablation with radioiodine. Marine-Lenhart Syndrome requires special attention as these patients are relatively radioiodine resistant, require higher activity for iodine-131; however, it is curable with radioiodine treatment.

Container gardens: Possibilities and challenges for environmental and social benefits in cities
Authors:   Chiba University, Nagase Ayako , Lundholm Jeremy ,   Saint Mary's University
Published: September 2021

Container gardens are used in cities around the world where access to soil at ground level is limited. They represent artificial ecosystems but often provide the only vegetation in some highly urbanized locations, and have been used in vertical and horizontal forms of living architecture. Although there are many container gardens in urban areas, container gardening as a component of more broadly considered green infrastructure seems to be unappreciated. The aim of this review is to elucidate potential ecosystem services provided by container gardening. The ultimate goal of this review is to recognize the value of container gardens in order to promote them as part of green infrastructure in urban areas. The ecosystem services which container gardens provide were sorted into the following categories (1) Provisioning (food production and security); (2) Regulating (stormwater management, improvement of air quality, energy savings and thermal comfort); (3) Habitat/Supporting (plant biodiversity and creation of animal habitats); (4) Cultural (aesthetic and improvement of visible green ratio, communication and environmental education, material reuse). Container gardens deserve serious attention as a form of urban greening that can provide many direct and indirect benefits to people living in cities. Moreover, it is important for citizens, local authorities and academics to be aware of the ecosystem services associated with container gardening to promote further development of its potential.

Published: September 2021

Despite rising interest in residential photovoltaics (PV), the percentage of homeowners who have installed them remains low. This study seeks to understand systematic behavioral differences between PV adopters and PV considerers. PV considerers have talked to an installer but have not yet installed PV. Our results suggest that, compared to adopters, considerers have a lower degree of risk aversion, higher scores in terms of pro-environmental norms, and higher levels of novelty seeking and independent decision making.
A Literature Review of the Effects of Energy on Pollution and Health
Authors: Ai Hongshan , Tan Xiaoqing
Published: September 2021

This paper reviews recent economic studies that estimate the impacts of energy accidents and energy-related policies and regulations on pollution and health. Using difference-in-differences and regression discontinuity designs, most papers show that energy accidents and consumption significantly increased pollution and had adverse health effects. However, the enforcement of clean energy policies and strict regulations have improved air quality and mitigated the negative effects on health. Hence, future research should focus more on the health effects of clean energy in developing countries.

Management of Vataja Shirashula with Kusthadi Shirolepa and Goghrita Pratimarsha Nasya - A Case Report
Authors: Jyothi S  , Ashwini  M.J
Published: September 2021

Shiras, also known as Uttamanga is the most vital part of our body. In Ayurveda, Shiro rogas are restricted to pain or discomfort seen around cranial vault and not the disorders of brain as such. Headache is the most frequent and troublesome reason to seek medical help in our day to day life. Tension type headache is the most common, primary, most neglected and difficult to treat occurring in about three-quarters of the general population. They can range from the occasional mild headaches to daily disabling headaches in some cases. Current allopathic approach is highly limited in treating the disease with just pain killers, which again have lot of side effects.

Holistic Ayurveda approach practically is found to yield very good results in the patients of headache. Vataja Shiroroga can be an apt classical correlation of Tension-type headache. Atiuccha bhashana, Vegadharana, Ratrijagarana, Upavasa and Shoka are the major causes of Vataja shirashula. Classical books of Ayurveda advocate the use of Snehana, Swedana, Navana nasya, Snaihika dhumapana and local Vatahara kriya like Lepa and Parisheka as main mode of treatment.

Nasya is a special therapy in all Shalakya disorders and Goghrita is considered as best Vatahara dravya. Kushtadi Lepa is indicated in Vataja Shiroroga classically. In this study, Kushtadi shirolepa and Goghrita pratimarsha nasya is done in a 19 year old patient having typical symptoms, to access the overall efficacy. After 1 month of therapy, significant improvement was seen in the symptoms. Mild recurrence was seen post follow-up period.

Published: September 2021

Tinnitus is one of the annoying disorders which can significantly impair patient’s quality of life and productivity. Although it is not a life threatening disease, but it results into emotional distress, cognitive distress, intrusiveness, auditory and perceptual difficulties, sleep disturbances, and various somatic complaints. Its incidence and prevalence are enhancing day by day. Various pharmacological agents including anticonvulsants, anxiolytics, antidepressants, muscle relaxants etc. are presently used or trialed for its pacification, but there is little evidence of their benefit over harm. The role of invasive and non-invasive Neurostimulation treatments, supposed to be very effective, are also little known. The introduction of Hearing aids and cochlear implantation are also not very much conclusive. No evidence of a significant change in the subjective loudness of tinnitus has been noticed with Cognitive behavioural treatment. In this way, there is a need for making an availability of uniformly accepted, broadly effective treatments capable of drastically decreasing the loudness and impact of tinnitus and withstanding systematic replication.

Authors: Monica Mulay  , Vaishnavi Deo
Published: September 2021

In Ayurveda, Kushtha is a broad term including all types of skin diseases. Kitibha kushtha, one of the Kshudra kushtha (minor skin ailment) has most similarities with the symptoms of Psoriasis which is the most prevailing skin disease in today’s era. It affects almost 2% worldwide population. The high chances of recurrence and its reluctant nature makes it a matter of concern for modern medicine as they have a limited line of treatment. But in the case of Ayurveda, Shamana (pacifying treatment) and Shodhana chikitsa (detoxification treatment) along with Nidan parivarjan (abstinence from disease causing factors) play an important role in overcoming this disease. In this case study of Kitibha kushtha we have effectively managed the disease by the means of Virechan (purgation) and Shamana chikitsa.

Background: Citraka or Sveta Citraka (Plumbago zeylanica L.) is an important medicinal plant mentioned in Ayurvedic classics, belongs to the family Plumbaginaceae. The root of the plant exhibits medicinal properties. It has a broad range of pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, antidiabetic, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, wound healing and cytotoxic.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate phyto-pharmacognostical standardization with HPTLC fingerprinting of root of P. zeylanica, one of the most accepted and beneficial medicinal plant in Ayurveda.

Materials and Methods: P. zeylanica was collected from Konni, Kerala, India during the month of May 2018 and its root was studied for macroscopic, microscopic, physico-chemical, preliminary phytochemical screening and HPTLC fingerprinting following the standard protocol recommended by The Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India and Quality Standards of Indian Medicinal Plants.

Results: The root is long, stout, cylindrical and reddish to dark brown in colour. The transverse section of root showed 5-7 rows of small cubical or rectangular celled cork with light yellow walls, polygonal or slightly tangentially elongated cortex cells containing starch grains and coloured contents, phloem containing small groups of fibres, radially arranged xylem vessels and narrow, 1-4 seriate medullary rays. Physico-chemical analysis showed water soluble extractive value as 26.11±0.01 w/w and alcohol soluble extractive value as 15.85±0.00 w/w. Preliminary phytochemical analysis of root decoction showed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, tannins, saponins, resin and quinones.

Conclusion: The information obtained from this research work may be useful to establish the botanical as well as analytical standards for the root of P. zeylanica.

Published: September 2021

Use of chemicals for plant growth and its management has led to soil and water pollution. It has ultimately affected the quality of medicinal plants.  In the other hand Vrikshayurved (science of plant life) have fully organic and time tested methods to deal with entire plant life. It mostly emphasizes on the selection of land, seed collection, seed treatment, different plant propagation methods, irrigation, manure, plant protection, plant disease management, crop harvesting and storage of produce. Thus, Vrikshayurved encompasses both agriculture and forestry.

Materials and method- Collection and compilation of useful information has been done from concerned articles and texts of Ayurved and Vrikshayurved texts such as Surpala’s Vrikshayurved, Upavan Vinod, Varahamihir’s Brihat Samhita, Charak Samhita and Sushruta Samhita.

Discussion and Conclusion- This article represents concise information of Vrikshayurved plantation techniques for seed propagation, grafting, stem propagation, tuber propagation and plant transplantation. All these methods are affordable, natural, and chemical free. All substances used by Vrikshayurved methodology have its Ayurvedic significance. Thus, Vrikshayurved and Manushya Ayurved are interdependent. Use of Vrikshayurved in modern agriculture and forestry can result in better agriculture system and sustainable forestry. Hence formation of standard guidelines for Vrikshayurved methodologies through research work is mandatory for better tomorrow.

The fugue - music as a euphemism in the works of Carson McCullers and Emiliya Dvoriyanova

In Women in the House of Fiction Lorna Sage writes: "…the novels too treated the domain of character and representation as the place where the 'others' lived, playing their parts and acting out their roles…" (Sage 1992: viii). Sage investigates the impact women writers have had on post-war fiction employing that every novelist tries to probe the boundaries of fiction, to "voice" their views and positions through the language of literature. Using Henry James's metaphor of fiction as a house, however, Sage is indebted to one of the writers she read and wrote about – Angela Carter. It was Sage, as the first-ever critic to discuss Carter's works thoroughly, who noticed that houses are unable to endure holding the woman and her transgressive power at bay. All houses, castles, buildings, every entity that stands for patriarchal power, are eventually destroyed. Sage reads this as an attack from women novelists against their literary inheritance (Sage 1992: ix). Womanhood is a topic widely outspoken and deeply problematic. Each text takes on different ways to construct, deconstruct, explain and see the woman, her body, her role: in society, history, culture. I argue that women writers project a certain amount of personal experience into the fictional worlds they create - an approach Ellen Moers had in Literary Women and her reading of Frankenstein as Merry Shelly's personified trauma of giving birth. My paper outlines cultural contexts as relevant to the works of different writers. It traces how intentional or non-intentional intertextuality connects texts and motifs; my article seeks to answer how different cultural contexts brought about similar problems. To complete the outlined goals, I rely on close reading of particular texts.
