Graphical methods and rings of invariants on the symmetric algebra
Authors: Bourn Rebecca , Erickson William Q. , Willenbring Jeb F.
Published: November 2023

Let G be a complex classical group, and let V be its defining representation (possibly plus a copy of the dual). A foundational problem in classical invariant theory is to write down generators and relations for the ring of G-invariant polynomial functions on the space
$\mathcal P^m(V)$
of degree-m homogeneous polynomial functions on V. In this paper, we replace
$\mathcal P^m(V)$
with the full polynomial algebra
$\mathcal P(V)$
. As a result, the invariant ring is no longer finitely generated. Hence, instead of seeking generators, we aim to write down linear bases for bigraded components. Indeed, when G is of sufficiently high rank, we realize these bases as sets of graphs with prescribed number of vertices and edges. When the rank of G is small, there arise complicated linear dependencies among the graphs, but we remedy this setback via representation theory: in particular, we determine the dimension of an arbitrary component in terms of branching multiplicities from the general linear group to the symmetric group. We thereby obtain an expression for the bigraded Hilbert series of the ring of invariants on
$\mathcal P(V)$
. We conclude with examples using our graphical notation, several of which recover classical results.

Authors: Cheplyukova Irina Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2023

Рассматриваются конфигурационные графы с $N$ вершинами. Степени вершин являются независимыми одинаково распределенными случайными величинами, и для любой вершины распределение распределение ее степени $\eta$ удовлетворяет следующему условию: при $k\to\infty$ $$\mathbf{P}\{\eta=k\}\sim \frac{d}{k^{g}\ln^h k},$$ где $d>0$, $h\geqslant 0$, $2< g<3$. Найдены предельные распределения максимальной степени вершины в таком конфигурационном графе, когда $N,n\to\infty$ так, что $ n/N^{(3g-4)/(2g-2)}\to\infty$, при условии, что сумма степеней всех вершин равна $n$.

Propuesta innovadora para el contrato de leasing habitacional desde la óptica de buenas prácticas internacionales de Chile y Colombia aplicado a la vivienda de interés social.
Authors: Lizano Vargas Jeiny , Barboza Leandro Carolina
Published: November 2023

Con base en la experiencia de las autoras mediante el desarrollo del Proyecto de Graduación bajo la modalidad de Tesis para optar por el grado de Licenciatura en Derecho de la Universidad Fidélitas, denominado “Análisis de la figura jurídica del contrato de leasing habitacional y propuesta de modificación a la ley 7052 para la inclusión al ordenamiento jurídico costarricense de esta figura en el Sistema Financiero Nacional para la Vivienda”, es que se propone este artículo. En esta investigación se ha detectado la inviabilidad de la utilización de la figura en el estado actual de la ley 7052 del Sistema Financiero Nacional para la Vivienda y Creación del Banco Hipotecario de la Vivienda (BANHVI) del 13 de noviembre de 1986 y sus reformas, además, de la poca regulación existente en el tópico que nos ocupa, por lo cual a partir del análisis de la legislación de tres países del caso en estudio, aunado al criterio experto de los entrevistados y el aporte de las autoras, se ha realizado un planteamiento de una base mínima regulatoria para una eventual propuesta normativa de la figura de leasing habitacional con aplicación del subsidio del Bono Familiar de Vivienda que otorga el Estado costarricense. No obstante, lo propuesto en el proyecto de tesis, se motiva a otros a investigadores para continuar trabajando en este tema, para ellos se recomienda valorar todos los elementos necesarios que permitan una discusión al respecto.
Reimaginar la nación: indigeneidad colonial en El laberinto de la soledad y Estética de la penuria
Authors: Mendoza Alan
Published: November 2023

Este artículo presenta una comparación entre dos ensayos literarios: El laberinto de la soledad (1950), de Octavio Paz, y Estética de la penuria (2018), de Luis Felipe Gómez Lomelí. La comparación desarrolla la idea de que el texto de Gómez Lomelí descentraliza representaciones problemáticas de la indigeneidad que aparecen en la construcción de la identidad mexicana de Paz, particularmente cuando Paz reimagina las épocas prehispánica y colonial desde el siglo XX. El argumento se ancla en un análisis textual. Este investiga las formas en que ambos textos asocian geografía e historia con identidades indígenas, ya sean de comunidades sedentarias o nómadas.
La modernidad en el iusnaturalismo clásico español
Authors: Ortega Martínez Francisco José
Published: November 2023

Intentamos mostrar las líneas genealógicas de la estructura político-legislativa de nuestro mundo a través del juego dinámico entre el Derecho natural y el Derecho positivo. El Derecho positivo de los grupos sociales implica una pseudo especialización cultural social a partir de la cual se justifica la guerra. Por otro lado, la guerra nunca puede ser justificada a través del derecho natural. En este trabajo vamos a tratar los siguientes aspectos: I) La Historia del Derecho Natural; II) El inicio de los valores sociales de la época moderna en el lusnaturalismo clásico español: Fr. Suárez, Fr. de Vitoria y Fr. Bartolomé de las Casas; III) Valores como la libertad, la igualdad y la solidaridad (propiedad común).
El último plan económico del primer ciclo del gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1985): tensiones, contradicciones e inestabilidad permanente
Authors: Rossi Ignacio Andrés
Published: November 2023

El Plan Económico de Bernardo Grinspun (1983-1985) desarrollado como primera estrategia económica durante el gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) fue menos estudiado frente al Plan Austral formulado a partir de 1985. Si bien la estrategia keynesiana del primer ministro de Economía fue breve, aún constituye un campo de vacancia para comprender cómo se abordaron desde el gobierno los desafíos económicos. Con el objetivo de contribuir a su conocimiento, el trabajo aborda el Plan Económico Argentino de diciembre de 1984, formulado conjuntamente entre el Ministerio de Economía y el Banco Central en el cuadro del cierre de un acuerdo con el Fondo Monetario Internacional por la deuda externa. Contrastado con fuentes periodísticas, bibliográficas, memorias y otros documentos institucionales de la época, sostenemos que dicho programa muestra las contradicciones, debates y tensiones inherentes a la política económica nacional como debilidades en la estrategia macroeconómica de mediano plazo.
“Enseñar a leer” a los colonos de la pampa gringa: el periódico y la formación de lectores modernos
Authors: Baretta Mónica
Published: November 2023

El artículo parte de considerar a la prensa periódica de finales del siglo XIX como agente de una política de lectura orientada a formar lectores modernos. En ese sentido, se aborda el caso de El Colono del Oeste, un semanario que circuló entre 1878 y 1886 en la región de las colonias agrícolas de Santa Fe (Argentina), formadas a partir del aporte inmigratorio europeo. Se señalan las dimensiones centrales a través de las cuales el periódico representó a los lectores y estableció marcos normativos a partir de los cuales la incipiente sociedad moderna de las colonias debía ingresar al universo letrado. En términos metodológicos, el periódico se analiza en una doble dimensión: en tanto discurso, atendiendo a modalidades enunciativas, premisas y tipos de argumentos, entre otras operaciones discursivas, y en tanto resultado de una práctica escrituraria, considerando sus rasgos lingüísticos, gráficos y materiales.

Published: November 2023

This study attempts to analyse the extent of teachers’ commitment among secondary schools of Zamfara State, Nigeria. The study was designed as descriptive research. Population of the study consisted of 28 Public Secondary Schools in Gusau Local Government Area of Zamfara State with a total number of 367 in-service teachers. From the population of the study, 19 Public Secondary Schools were sampled, wherein 190 teachers were extracted as participants in the study through simple random sampling technique using Morgan and Krejcie’s (1971) table of determining sample size. A structured questionnaire titled ‘Teacher Commitment Questionnaire’ with 15 items developed by Allen (1997) which was constructed on a 4-point Likert scale was employed as an instrument for data collection. Data analysis was made through descriptive statistics using mean and standard deviation. The paper portrayed that, teachers’ commitment towards teaching profession among public secondary schools of Zamfara State was on moderate extent with reference to its average mean value of (M=2.62, SD=1.61). This paper recommends that, in order to improve teachers’ commitment, more efforts should be offered by the stakeholders in education sector for ensuring a positive adjustment of successful course delivery of teachers and most importantly the academic achievement of the learners.
The Spiral of Silence on Political Movement of Thai Youth Under the Imagined Community from Milk Tea Alliance Tactics on Twitter
Authors: Manowong Anthika
Published: November 2023

The main focus of this research is how the youth demonstration started in Thailand in late 2020. It is now and this demonstration is still going on in a more severe stage as Thailand just had an election on May 14th, 2023 but the authoritarian regime seems not to respect the majority votes. The analysis since late 2020, the demonstration of Thai youths, will be discussed in this research and the main question is what is the motivation of Youth’s demonstration will be analyzed. Why are high school and elementary school students walking out on the street for a political movement, and some out mobilizing in front of the Ministry of Education to represent people's opinions on political changes? When comparing student activism in Thailand on the Day of Great Sorrow "Wan Maha Wippayok" in 1973 and 1976, one sees that the two movements were to promote anti-dictatorship in Thailand. The people who played the role of a striker were university students. In contrast, the demonstration in 2020, it differs from the demonstrations in the 1970s; in the 2020 demonstration, people from all levels participated in this protest, especially elementary school and high school students. This research discovered the deep roots of this protest and how the government and Thai Youth should encounter it halfway through this shift so that the movement will achieve its goal and have less harm on the current economy. An aggressive movement has no benefit to Thai people and the economy. It destroys national GDP and wastes too much time rebuilding the economy under an aging society. Anonymously interviewing the scholars and students who joined the demonstration, data analysis, and online survey from the people who attended Thai schools are the key to finding an answer to the research questions.
Nurturing Sustainability Commitment: Exploring the Nexus of Employee Relations, Human Resource Management (HRM) and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Sectors
Authors: Adhikary Sudipta
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to comprehend how MSME enterprises in India evaluate their commitment to sustainability in connection to employee relations and HRM practices. This paper introduces a theoretical framework called “awareness, action, comprehensiveness, and excellence (AACE)” to convey the remedies and practices as embraced by MSME industries in achieving their sustainability initiatives. Methodology: This study employed a cross-case study approach to analyse workers and owners’ opinions in MSME units in Kolkata and adjacent regions in order to determine how industrial relations and HRM practises foster the level of sustainability commitment. Findings: The purpose of this research was to assess the existing HRM landscape and employee relations adopted by MSME firms to provide better support their aim of strengthening the commitment towards sustainability. The research proposed a framework with four stages—"awareness, action, comprehensiveness, and excellence"—that captures HRM practises as embraced by MSME enterprises to cultivate their commitment towards sustainability. Social Implications: MSME sector units are making a vibrant contribution towards the emerging Indian economy. When it comes to the question of safe employment and sustainability, quality jobs, inclusiveness, productive employment, safe and secure work conditions, opportunities to work, and quality of work life seem to be driving parameters of employee growth. They have a major impact on both long-term viability and employees' quality of life. This study attempts to make a mark in this course. Conclusion: According to the study's findings, HRM practices that emphasize informal leadership toward workers are essential for forging a company's commitment to sustainability.
A Conceptual Analysis and Importance of Kalka Dravya in Preparation of Niruha Basti
Authors: Uma Mantha  , Praveen K. Madikonda  , B. Johar
Published: November 2023

Basti chikitsa is unique therapeutic procedure of Panchakarma (fivefold therapy) used in the management of Vatavyadhi. It is also considered as Ardhachikitsa. It is important to know the rationality behind the mixing of Basti ingredients before administration of Basti to the patients. Niruha Basti is a mixture of Makshika (honey), Lavana (salt), Kwaath (decoction) Kalka (fine paste obtained after wet grinding of the plant material) Kwaatha (decoction) and Avapa dravyas (additional ingredients). These ingredients are immiscible with each other. The question that comes to our mind is addition of which ingredient makes Vasti dravya homogenous mixture? As in principle homogenicity of the whole contents is mandatory before administration of Basti. Kalka is a form of paste made out of a green drug or a dry drug by rubbing on a stone by adding sufficient quantity of water to make a consistency of bolus. Some opinion that Kalka is the drug which gives potency to the whole combination of Niruha Basti. Kalka Dravya perhaps could act like a catalyst agent which improves the potency of Basti. But the primary role of Kalka dravya in the Basti seems to be to help in mixing both hydrophilic and lipophlic substnces to make it a proper emulsion. The emulsion nature of the basti dravya has got both cleansing, healing effect. In a way it has got multi-dimensional therapeutic effect. The present article is an attempt to understand the importance of Kalka dravya in Niruha basti, different combinations of Kalka are mentioned in Brihattrayi in different Basti yogas and possible mechanism of action of Kalka in Niruhabasti preparation has been theoretically analysed.
A Comprehensive Review of Medovaha Srotodushti w.s.r Hyperlipidaemia
Authors: Ankita Sajwan  , Basant Kumar Thakur
Published: November 2023

Hyperlipidaemia does not bear a precise reference in Ayurveda though the study of Ayurvedic literature bears some implicit allusions. This might be due to the fact that it is a metabolic disorder and not a full-fledged disease in itself. The term hyperlipidemia is not used in our classic. But we can correlate it with Medovaha Sroto Dushti. Hyperlipidaemia is term used to denote raised serum levels of cholesterol or triglycerides or both. Raised total cholesterol is a major cause of disease burden in both the developed and developing world as a risk factor for ischemic heart disease and stroke. CVDs accounts for one third of total deaths around the world, it is believed that CVDs will turn out to be the main cause of death and disability worldwide by the year 2020. Lack of exercise and Kaphavardhak Ahar Vihar are the two main causes of vitiation of Medovaha Srotas. Dietary low fat intake or nutrition supplementation is the key of lowering blood lipids as art for keeping hyperlipidaemia in control and manageable.

Authors: Veldandi Saipriya  , Praveen K Madikonda  , AK. Sailaja  , V. Balakrishna
Published: November 2023

Suppositories are solid dosage forms intended for insertion into body cavities or orifices, where they melt or dissolved to exert either local or systemic effect. Phalavarti is an Ayurvedic way of application of suppositories in rectal ailments as discussed in Samhitas. Phalavarthi is one of VatiKalpana, It is a simple homemade medicament which can be prepared with easily available ingredients, It can be used in various types of GIT disorders like Udavarta, Anaha, Adhmana, Arsas, Gulma, Udara, Vibanda, which are some of the very common problems faced by general population due to irregular dietary habits and sedentary life style leading to Mandagni. The impaired digestion is main cause for various types of systemic and metabolic disorders. In such conditions Vatanulomana is main line of management. Apart from above specified conditions, Phalavarthi preparations can also be used in Panchakarma ayoga conditions like Virechana, Niruha, Anuvasana and Uttara vasthi. Despite the fact that various types of Phalavarthi preparations have been mentioned in Ayurveda texts, they are not in regular use due to less attention and focus received on this subject. There fore the present scientific study has been taken up to overcome the practical difficulties in both preparation and application of Phala vartis with a scientific approach. Phalavarthi is a very unique concept which is far superior to modern concept of rectal suppositories, it can be administered to children, old persons and all those who cannot swallow drugs easily. Hence keeping this advantage in mind, an attempt has been made to prepare and administer Phalavarthi in GIT disorders following the guidelines of Acharya Charaka and also keeping in view of modern principles of preparation of suppositories.
Evidence Based Classical Ayurveda Management the Epidydimal Cysts
Authors: Sourava Nayak  , Jitendra Varsakiya  , Divyarani Kathad
Published: November 2023

Epididymal cysts are collection of fluid in a single sac (unilocular) or more than one (multilocular) as a result of dilatation of efferent epididymal tubules due to tubular obstruction with benign in nature and often bilateral in nature. It involves the development of fluid-filled sacs or cysts within the epididymis, a coiled tube located behind each testicle. An epididymal cyst, also known as a spermatocele that affects the male reproductive system. If it is not treated it may develop to an abscess and probably the destruction of the epididymis which can lead to infertility. In Ayurveda it can be under the heading Kaphaja Granthi. A 27-year-old male patient visited the outpatient department of Kayachikitsha with complaints of bilateral scrotal swelling with itching since six months. Patient was diagnosed on the basis of colour doppler of scrotum and it indicates bilateral epididymis head cyst with minimal fluid seen around left spermatic cord with herniation of omental fat on Valsalva. The patient was treated with classical management of Kapahaja Granthi described in texts, Vaman (medicated emesis), Virechana (therapeutic purgation) and followed by administered Arogyavardhini Vati 2 tablet each of 250mg twice a day in empty stomach, Kanchanara Guggulu two tablet each of 500mg twice a day after food with lukewarm water and Varunadi Kashaya 40ml once a day in morning empty stomach. After this treatment there was no scrotal swelling also the colour doppler study reveals normal colour doppler study with no significant abnormality noted. This case indicates the Ayurveda classical management given in texts can be helps to manage the condition like epidydimal cyst.

Authors: Rahish Sewda  , Kishori Lal Sharma  , Ayushi Nigam
Published: November 2023

Ayurveda considers Padadari under Kshudra roga which has been first described in Sushruth Samhita. Padadari is one of the most commonest and negligible diseases, highly prevalent in rural areas. Vruddha Vata Dosha is related to Padadari. It is characterised by minor to severe cracks on the feet, more frequently on the heels. In severe conditions, it causes Vedana, Daha, Rookshata and occasionally Raktasrava. Here, Madhuchchista and Jatyadi Taila being cost and medically more effective are used as remedy for Padadari. An open labelled clinical trial has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Malahar prepared using Madhuchchista and Jatyadi Taila in Padadari. Material and Method: Whole pharmaceutical procedure was carried out in the sequence of Madhuchchista and Jatyadi Taila preparation. Ratio of 1:5 of Madhuchchista and Jatyadi Taila for preparing Sikta Taila was selected and prepared for the preparation of Padadari Malahar. Result: Response to the treatment was recorded on a weekly basis and therapeutic effect was evaluated through symptomatic relief. Conclusion: The study yielded statistically highly significant results in symptoms such as dryness (P<0.001), roughness (P<0.001) and cracks associated with pain (P<0.001).

The disease Amavata described in classical Ayurvedic literature is closely resembles with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Amavata is a crippling condition where simultaneously aggravated Vata and Ama associated with each other settles in Sandhis and produce Sandhishoola, Sandhishotha, Sparshaasahitwa, which is similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis. Amavata is the challenging problem for medical science with different treatment protocol. The objectives of this randomized parallel group Comparative study were to evaluate the effect of Vatari Guggulu and Shatpushpadi Churna with Simhanada Guggulu in the management of Amavata w.s.r. to Rheumatoid Arthritis This Study was conducted on 32 patients selected randomly from OPD and IPD of R.G.G.P.G. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Paprola, Dist. Kangra (H.P.) and divided into 2 groups. Group I and Group II having 16 patients in each group. Group A were managed with Vatari Guggulu 500mg BD with lukewarm water and Shatpushpadi Churna 3gm BD with lukewarm water while Group B were managed with Simhanada Guggulu 500mg BD with lukewarm water for 6 weeks. Results showed statistically significant difference in effect of Group I and Group II on subjective parameters – Angamarda, Trishna, Apaka, Jadya, Sparsh Ashyata, Vidvibandha, Nidravipraya, ESR, walking time and grip strength. Percent wise Vatari Guggulu and Shatpushpadi Churna are found to be more effective than Simhanada Guggulu for all assessment criteria in the management of Amavata.
A Comparative Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effect of Haritakyadi Kwatha and Eladi Churna in the Management of Pittaj Mutrakrichha w.s.r. to Urinary Tract Infection
Authors: Swati  , Thakur Sunil  , Chaudhary Vijay
Published: November 2023

Mutrakrichha is a disorder of Mutravahastrotas, The term ‘Mutrakrichha’ means pain and difficulty during passage of urine. Vitiated Pitta and Pratiloma Gati of Apana Vayu are considered to be the two major factors for the pathogenesis of the disease “Mutrakrichha”. The symptoms of Pittaj Mutrakrichha such as Saruja/Krichha Mutrapravrutti (dysuria), Sarakta Mutrata (haematuria), Sadaha Mutrata (burning micturition), Muhurmuhu Mutrapravrutti (increased frequency or urgency of micturition) are coincide with the symptoms of lower urinary tract infection. Clinical presentation of Pittaj Mutrakṛichha shows close resemblance to UTI's as described in modern texts especially with lower urinary tract infections i.e., Urethritis and Cystitis. Globally UTI affect 150 million people worldwide annually. Urinary tract infection is a broad term that encompasses both asymptomatic microbial colonization of the urine and symptomatic infection with microbial invasion and inflammation of urinary tract. E.coli is the most common causative organism to cause UTI. 32 patients who were diagnosed with Pittaj Mutrakrichha w.s.r to urinary tract infection were allocated randomly into two groups. The trial drugs i.e., Haritakyadi Kwatha 50ml was given to 16 patients of group-I and Eladi Churna 3gm was given to 16 patients of group-II for duration of 4 weeks.
Ayurvedic Management along with Hypnotherapy in Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (Conversion Disorder)
Authors: Anjumol M  , Jithesh M  , Vinod R
Published: November 2023

Functional neurological symptom disorder (FND)/Conversion disorder may be broadly defined as the presence of neurologic symptoms in the absence of a neurologic diagnosis, or when a neurologic diagnosis exists, it does not fully account for all of the patient’s symptoms. The cardinal symptom is limited solely to neurological symptoms. The diagnosis is made on the basis of the positive findings of the examination demonstrating preserved neurological function. Yoshapasmara, described in Madhava nidana, is comparable to FND where gathi / samvedhana (motor or sensory functions) are lost in the absence of underlying neurological conditions.

A 29-year female was admitted with C/o Weakness and numbness in the left lower limb for 6 months. She had severe stress factors due to family conflicts. One day after a conflict with her mother-in-law, she felt difficulty walking on her left leg. They consulted a neurologist and done imaging, which was normal. On detailed clinical examination, the diagnosis was FND. She was managed with Internal medications and Udwartana, Abyanga, and Vyathyasa chikitsa (Dry and unctuous therapies alternatively). Hypnotherapy was administered in addition to Ayurvedic management to address stress factors. There were noticeable changes in the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), muscle strength, and could walk without assistance with some difficulty after treatment. The neuropsychiatric perspective incorporating biopsychosocial aspects at the individual level, including consideration of Psychological and Spiritual aspects wherever relevant, is crucial for better outcomes in such cases.

Published: November 2023

Standardization of herbal formulations is a process of setting some standard parameters which are essential for assuring the quality of the herbal formulations and it should be reproducible at any time of stability period of that formulations. Today many people all over the world experiencing the side effects of Modern medicine are shifting towards the traditional medical systems, among them most widely accepted is Ayurveda. Increased demand of herbal medicines, along with disparity in demand and supply of raw materials and profit mindedness of pharmaceutical agencies, has resulted substandard and unsafe products. The adulteration and substitution of drugs, methods of collection, storage and preservation of raw drugs, controversial opinions regarding formulations in classical text books, addition of preservatives and improper purification of toxic herbal and mineral drugs are the main problems that leading to the production of substandard and unsafe products. Authorities like WHO and Govt. of India has taken steps to standardize the individual drugs and formulations. Ministry of AYUSH have given the standard parameters for different types of preparations and few of the individual formulations are standardized in Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia of India. As the general population uses Ayurvedic medicines mainly as polyherbal formulations, standardization of each formulations is a need of hour for ensuring the quality medicines that leading to the global acceptance of Ayurveda.

An Evaluation of Modern Medical Approaches and Ayurvedic Practices in Surgical and Parasurgical Interventions for Venereal Diseases in Men
Authors: P.R Divya  , G. Chandrakumar  , N. Madhuri devi
Published: November 2023

Shalyatantra, a significant section of Ayurveda, encompasses descriptions of surgical and para-surgical methods. Venereal diseases are illnesses often transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person, presenting a major global health concern, especially for pregnant women and newborns. Surgical and Para surgical interventions for venereal diseases in men are not widely known or discussed in Ayurveda. The scope and indications for these interventions are not well-explored. Common venereal diseases include chlamydial infection, gonorrhea, hepatitis, human papillomavirus, and genital herpes. If left untreated, chlamydia, a significant sexually transmitted bacterial infection, can lead to urethritis, which can be addressed through a surgical intervention known as perineal urethrostomy. Complications of gonorrhea, caused by the sexually transmitted bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoea, include phimosis, balanitis, and paraphimosis. These complications can be managed with surgical operations like the plastibell technique and circumcision. For Charmakeelam, parasurgical procedures such as Agni karma and Kshara karma are utilized for treatment. Genital herpes blisters can be surgically removed. In the case of Upadamsam, treatments like Siravyadham in Medramadhyam and Jalookavacharanam are listed as effective remedies for venereal disorders. Surgical procedures like Chedhanam, Bedhanam, and Visravanam, along with para-surgical techniques such as Kshara Karma, Agni Karma, and Jalookavacharanam, are described for various venereal diseases. In summary, both modern science and Ayurveda offer numerous surgical and para surgical methods to manage a wide range of ailments, including venereal diseases.

Turistler ve destinasyonlar arasında duygusal bağlar oluşturmaya, unutulmaz deneyimler yaşatmaya ve destinasyon imajını güçlendirmeye olanak sağlayan hikaye anlatıcılığı, medya teknolojileri aracılığıyla farklı iletişim araçlarında kullanılmaktadır. Destinasyonların hikayeler eşliğinde potansiyel turistlerin zihninde konumlandırılması, turistlerde hikayede anlatılan yere gitme isteği uyandırılmasına ve seyahat kararlarına etki edilmesine olanak sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin önde gelen destinasyonlarının tanıtım videolarında hikaye anlatımının nasıl kullanıldığını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Go Türkiye YouTube kanalında yer alan on farklı destinasyonun tanıtım videoları hikaye anlatım öğeleri bağlamında incelenmiştir. Çalışmada tanıtım videoları hikayenin yapısal faktörleri (Fog ve diğerleri, 2001), hikayede kullanılan marka arketipleri (Mark ve Pearson, 2001) ve dijital hikaye unsurları (Robin, 2006; Harris ve Rea, 2019) açısından ele alınmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre videoların tamamında mesaj ve karakter unsurları yer almaktadır, hiçbir videoda çatışma kullanılmamakta ve olay örgüsü tüm videolarda zayıf olabilecek bir kurguda geçmektedir. Öğeler açısından değerlendirilen tüm videolarda dramatik soru, duygusal içerik, müzik ve tempo yer almaktadır. Tüm tanıtım videolarında destinasyonların benzersizliğini vurgulayan bakış açısı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları turizm destinasyonu yöneticileri için potansiyel marka stratejisi sonuçlarına ve destinasyon tanıtım videoları üretmeye yönelik çıkarımlara sahiptir. Bazı destinasyon yönetim organizasyonlarının (DMO) kendi sosyal medya web siteleri olmasına rağmen, resmi sosyal medyalarında (örneğin YouTube) görünen hikayeleri izlemek, pazarlama çabalarını stratejik olarak yönetirken birincil adım olabilir. Çalışmanın bulguları, DMOyöneticilerinin hikaye unsurlarına bağlı kalarak pazarlama stratejilerini mükemmelleştirmeleri için fırsat sunabilir. Bulgulara dayanarak DMO'ların ve turizm şirketlerinin, hedef grupların destinasyona tekrar/ziyaret etmelerini yönlendirecek iyi bir hikaye sunmaya odaklanmaları önerilebilir.

Authors: Ikpeme Nya John
Published: November 2023

Promoting an effective and sustained stress management strategies is anchored on attitudes of individuals to willingly embrace them and incorporate such strategies in their daily routine. This study examines the influence of age and gender on attitude to stress management. A descriptive survey design was adopted and stratified random sampling was used to select samples from all the faculties in the two Universities. The research question inquired to know to what extent different age brackets and gender differ in their attitudes to stress management. Two hypotheses were raised and tested to ascertain the significant difference between the genders in attitude to stress management. The role of age on attitude to stress management was also examined. Empirical literatures were reviewed to gain some insights into previous findings made and available gaps to be explored. Using a descriptive research design with survey as the research method, a structured questionnaire was administered to 475 lecturers who were selected through a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected on lecturers’ demographic details and attitude to stress management. Findings from this study show that male and female lecturers do not differ significantly in their attitude to stress management. It was also observed that older lecturers have more positive attitude to stress management than the younger ones. This study recommends establishment of structures and programs to encourage all lecturers to be more proactive in their attitudes to stress management. Other recommendations include a look at influencing factors like age and gender in assessing attitude to stress management.

The objective of this research is to explore the production of biodiesel using Waste Vegetable Oil (WVO) as the primary feedstock and calcined eggshell ash as an environmentally sustainable catalyst. The WVO, characterized by a Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content of 2.86%, serves as the primary feedstock for biodiesel production through transesterification. The eggshell ash undergoes a rigorous process, including washing with distilled water to remove impurities, drying at 100ºC for 24 hours, crushing into fine particles, and final calcination in a muffle furnace at 900ºC. Process optimization is achieved by varying key reaction parameters, including temperature, catalyst loading, and the methanol-oil molar ratio. The optimal conditions are identified at 65°C, utilizing a methanol-oil molar ratio of 6:1 and a 5wt% catalyst loading. Under these optimized reaction conditions, a substantial biodiesel yield of 91.3% is obtained. The produced biodiesel meets the stringent quality requirements specified by the American Standard (ASTM D 6751) and European Standard (EN 14214) for biodiesel fuel, ensuring its suitability for various applications. This study demonstrates the potential of utilizing calcined eggshell ash as an eco-friendly catalyst for sustainable biodiesel production from WVO.

Published: November 2023

Tuberkulosis (TB) adalah salah satu penyakit menular yang masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia. Terlebih, adanya pandemi COVID berimbas kepada berkurangnya progress dan penanganan TB di tahun 2021. Maka dari itu peneliti ingin mengetahui kondisi tuberkulosis dan melihat hubungan spasial yang ada pada kasus TB dengan faktor-faktor risikonya di salah satu wilayah dengan jumlah kasus tertinggi di Indonesia; Pulau Jawa, di tingkat kabupaten/kota. Peneliti membagi faktor risiko kedalam dua kelompok, yaitu faktor geografis seperti rata-rata ketinggian, suhu tahunan, dan kelembaban tahunan, serta faktor sosiodemografi yang mencakup kepadatan penduduk/densitas, jumlah fasilitas kesehatan, dan rata-rata usia diagnosis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan adanya pola mengelompok di seluruh variabel; Proporsi TB, Jumlah Fasilitas Kesehatan, Rata-Rata Umur Diagnosis, Kepadatan Penduduk, Ketinggian Rata-Rata, Suhu, dan Kelembaban tahunan. Peneliti kemudian menguji signifikansi dan menemukan adanya hubungan spasial pada Rata-Rata Umur Diagnosis, Kepadatan Penduduk, Ketinggian Rata-Rata, Suhu, dan Kelembaban tahunan, sedangkan tidak ditemukan adanya hubungan spasial antara jumlah fasilitas kesehatan dengan proporsi TB. Hasil penelitian ini bisa dijadikan sebagai rekomendasi dalam alokasi sumber daya penanganan TB, dan sebagai kesempatan bagi penelitian selanjutnya untuk menggali lebih jauh mengenai hubungan kompleks antara TB dengan faktor-faktor risikonya.
