EFFECT OF RASAYANA IN FEMALE INFERTILITY W.S.R. TO PCOS - A REVIEW
Authors: Patel Dr Bharati
Published: December 2022

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common, yet complex endocrine disorder affecting women in their reproductive years and is a leading cause of infertility. The prevalence of PCOS is increasing with most women impacted falling in the 20-30 years age group which is estimated to be 5-10% women in general population who are undergoing nutritional transitions due to westernized diets and lifestyle. The pathophysiology of PCOS involves multi-systemic dysfunction; namely reproduction, endocrine, and metabolic. The symptoms of PCOS vary from person to person. They could range from irregular menstruation, hirsutism, obesity and hair loss in some cases and long term can lead to complications. This syndrome cannot be included under any particular condition in specific and can be correlated in Ayurveda with Artavakshaya, Anartava and Pushpaghni-jataharini based on its lakshanas, which are Vata-kapha pradhana rasa pradoshaja vyadhi. In this condition adopting Vata-kaphahara and Pitta vridhikara ahara-vihara, proper Shodhana and Rasayana karma along with life style modification can control the onset and further progression of the disease. So in the present context, an attempt is made to explain the effect of Rasayana in female infertility w.s.r to PCOS.

Zum Einfluss feministischer Bildungskonzepte auf die Akademisierung Sozialer Arbeit
Authors: Bauer Edith
Published: December 2022

Der Beitrag rekonstruiert anhand prägnanter US-amerikanischer und preußisch-deutscher Bildungsangebote für Social Work und Soziale Arbeit den Einfluss feministischer Bildungskonzepte auf den Prozess der Akademisierung Sozialer Arbeit in Deutschland. Untersucht wird die Wirkung, die die Wiedererinnerung der Progressive Ära in Chicago – namentlich des pragmatistischen Feminismus von Jane Adams und John Dewey – auf die Neue Frauenbewegung der BRD ab 1969 hatte und wie diese Wirkung die Akademisierung Sozialer Arbeit hierzulande vorantrieb. Die Wissenschaftskonzeption der Neuen Frauenbewegung und ihre Methodologie in der Frauenforschung werden hierbei zum Thema. Ein weiteres Anliegen des Beitrags ist es, die Relevanz einer Wechselwirkung zwischen akademischer Frauenbildung und der Akademisierung des Social Work sowie der Sozialen Arbeit darzulegen.
Pieskový a Svinský kút : príspevok k zmenám funkcie priestoru a mestskej parcelácie v severozápadnom rohu Prešporka (Bratislavy)
Authors: Šimončičová Koóšová Petra , Lesák Branislav , Kováč Jozef
Published: December 2022

Dynamické zmeny funkcie a parcelácie možno sledovať v severozápadnej časti stredovekej Bratislavy. Pojmom Svinský kút sa označovala horná časť dnešnej Klariskej ulice, ako Pieskový kút jej spodnáčasť. Blok medzi Klariskou ulicou a mestskými hradbami prešiel zložitým vývojom. Na základe archeologických výskumov v severnej časti Kapitulskej ulice a ulice Na vŕšku vidno, ako sa vyvíjalo jadro formujúceho sa stredovekého mesta (13. storočie), ktorého usporiadanie ovplyvnilo vybudovanie hradieb a prístup k nim (prelom 13. a 14. storočia). V nasledujúcom období (14.–15. storočie) tu stáli vedľa seba obytné domy a remeselnícke objekty. Dominantou sledovaného priestoru bol kostol a kláštor klarisiek. V prvej polovici 16. storočia bol do tejto časti mesta presunutý mestský špitál a krátkodobo sa tu aj pochovávalo. Až na prahu novoveku došlo k rozparcelovaniu priestoru, ako ho poznáme v súčasnosti.
Příspěvek k poznání zázemí hradu Věžka u Plzně : fortifikace a komunikace v blízkém okolí hradu
Authors: Kasl Filip , Sokol Petr
Published: December 2022

V blízkém okolí hradu Věžka jsou dochovány terénní relikty, kterým nebyla dosud věnována pozornost, případně je jejich dosavadní interpretace nejistá. Starší výzkumy přinesly několik nálezů, jejichž pozoruhodná interpretace byla následně literaturou přejímána (nález tzv. převoznického kamene označujícího místo středověkého přívozu, hráz středověké říční přehrady). Archeologická sondáž v okolí hradu v kombinaci s povrchovým a detektorovým průzkumem a se studiem písemných pramenů je pokusem o jednoznačnější interpretaci terénních reliktů i starších nálezů. Získané poznatky se týkají nejen lokalizace a způsobu překonávání řeky v blízkosti hradu, ale i zabezpečení hradu proti obléhání a jeho uplatnění v praxi.
News translation and national image in the time of Covid-19
Authors: Fois Eleonora
Published: December 2022

The press, as a culturally structured system, contributes to the formation of audience self-images – defining one's domestic identity – and hetero images – defining the Other. Using journalistic translation and journalism studies, this contribution explores the national image provided by the Italian press in news translated into English by the Ansa news agency website during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The few studies on news translations including the English-Italian language pair studied the linguistic characteristics of translated language (i.e. universals), thus making the analysis of national image in news translation an unexplored area. The methodological framework will be based on Critical Discourse Analysis' qualitative approach as well as two essential concepts from Journalism Studies. To begin with, the concept of gatekeeping can be used to explain the various flows of information and news provided in translated articles. Second, understanding the framework of news manipulation and rewriting will be made possible by understanding the concept of frame. The goal is to disclose how the Italian national image is communicated.
"That's not how we hang people here" : Gilead in the eyes of witnesses in Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments
Authors: Machała Katarzyna
Published: December 2022

Witness and testimonial literature have gained special significance in the 20th century in response to the traumas that people experienced then. Two dystopian novels by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments, are also classified as such, even though they are set in the fictitious Republic of Gilead in the near future. In both cases, the story is told by a first-person narrator, unreliable by default, but still able to bear witness to the events. In the first novel, the narrator is trapped by the circumstances, but still looking back to the pre-Gilead times. Her tale is her means of survival. In the second novel, the narrating voice is splintered into three distinct ones – one of the architects of the system, a girl raised in Gilead and an outsider, travelling south but unable to fully grasp the reality there. Once the four voices intertwine, the picture of the regime takes the form of her-story. The aim of the paper is to analyze the way in which the four narrators in the two novels perceive the regime and how they deal with the trauma.
J. M. Coetzee’s Foe : a narrative of dislocation through assimilation
Authors: Saei Dibavar Sara , Abbasi Pyeaam , Pirnajmuddin Hossein
Published: December 2022

This article rereads J. M. Coetzee's Foe (1986) and its intertextual bond with Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719) in the framework of cognitive poetics to shed light on the complex issue of canonicity in terms of content and form/style in Foe. To this purpose, Marie-Laure Ryan's notions of textual actual world (TAW) and accessibility relations are used along with Barbara Dancygier's concept of narrative space construction to examine how Susan Barton's narrative (the postcolonial account) anchors/accesses the already consolidated TAW of Robinson Crusoe (the colonial text) to dislocate the colonizer's secluded, monologic text by superimposing another psyche, through cognitive blending, upon it. Susan's narrative incorporates her constant awareness of the social mind to assimilate – rather than push aside – the colonizer's narrative by driving it out of its monologic state toward a dialogic, multivocal exchange in the contemporary postcolonial world where Cruso(e)'s story becomes a part of Susan's story.
Functions and distribution of determiners in Old English genitive noun phrases
Authors: Giofré Valeria
Published: December 2022

This paper aims to investigate the distribution and function of the determiners sē, sēo, þæt in Old English genitive noun phrases. The hypotheses presented stem from the analysis of the Old English version of Bede's "Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum". Data shows, on the one hand, that determiners display a peculiar distribution, as their position varies according to the relative order of the genitive modifier and the head noun in genitive noun phrases, be it "genitive+noun" or "noun+genitive". On the other hand, their function does not seem to be as clear-cut as is usually described in grammar textbooks, since determiners appear to be used in a bridging context, oscillating between pragmatic or semantic definiteness. The discussion in this paper provides a functional description of determiners on the basis of the type of genitive noun phrase as a contribution to the debate on the status of determiners in Old English. Additionally, it provides a hypothesis concerning the apparent correlation between determiners and "head + modifier" structures where they appear to be six times as frequent as in "modifier + head": the hypothesis is that this correlation is not casual, but may have originated from appositive structures of the kind "Head-Noun+[DET+Adj/N]".
On the adjective/adverb interface: subject-related -ly
Authors: Jiménez-Pareja Sandra
Published: December 2022

Subject-relatedness is a term used to define subject-oriented -ly adverbs that are not liable to convey adverbial meaning and only retain the predicative function (Díaz-Negrillo 2014, Valera 2014). Previous corpus evidence of subject-relatedness has been found in colour adjectives (Valera 2014), which seems to restrict subject-relatedness to this narrow semantic class but, as colour adjectives are central members of this word-class (cf. Dixon 1977), the relevance of these subject-related adverbs may be higher than presumed. The present paper presents results of a systematic corpus search of 17,460 BNC bigrams containing verbs followed by subject-related -ly adverbs. The results show subject-relatedness beyond colour adjectives alone and in a wide range of combinations. The interpretations of the mismatch between the suffix -ly and the categorial meaning associated with this suffix or with the structures where they appear are manifold and could make an impact on the classification of adjectives and adverbs.
Metaphodioms: connecting metaphor and idioms
Authors: Wiliński Jarosław
Published: December 2022

This paper aims to formulate the notion of metaphodiom and establish operational criteria for its definition by combining key insights emanating from quantitative corpus linguistics, the cognitive theory of metaphor, and a cognitive linguistic approach to idioms. To this end, the author selects boxing idioms for analysis, extracts their occurrences in the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), and determines their structural, semantic, distributional, and discourse-functional properties. The paper makes a significant contribution to a growing body of literature on metaphorical idioms by systematically integrating all definitory parameters for their identification, description, and extraction from a large corpus of naturally-occurring data.
Vodní měkkýši CHKO Brdy [Aquatic molluscs of the Brdy PLA]
Authors: Beran Luboš , Beranová Vendula
Published: December 2022

Although the Brdy Protected Landscape Area is located not far from Prague on the border between central and western Bohemia, there was very little published and unpublished data on its aquatic malacofauna. For this reason, a more detailed survey of aquatic molluscs was carried out in 2020–2022. Altogether with previous data, 27 species were found at 108 studied sites, including springs, small streams, fishponds, pools, and wetlands. The low species diversity is related to not very suitable natural conditions. The occurrences of only 1–2 species of aquatic molluscs were found at 72 out of 108 studied sites. Two species (Radix labiata, Pisidium casertanum) are typical for nutrient-poor habitats. The more rich molluscan assemblages were detected only in the peripheral parts of the Brdy Mts. and/or in the Padrť region with numerous fishponds and associated wetlands. Most (18) of the detected species belong to common and widespread molluscs. Three non-native species (Physa acuta, Ferrissia californica, Sinanodonta woodiana) were found.

Pentingnya Proses Evaluasi Dalam Pembelajaran Di Sekolah Dasar
Authors: Miftha Huljannah
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
This article is a theoretical study about the importance of the learning evaluation process. Evaluation is an important activity carried out by teachers in the learning process. With evaluation, teachers can improve their competence in classroom management, be it in the selection of learning methods, media, teaching materials, and so on that can motivate students to learn. In addition, by evaluating the teacher can also find out the level of ability of the students. Therefore, the teacher must carry out evaluation activities properly. However, in reality there are still many teachers who have not carried out the evaluation process properly, especially in elementary schools. One of the causes is the teacher's lack of knowledge about the evaluation itself. So that knowledge is needed about the concept of evaluation, the role of evaluation, and procedures for implementing evaluations in order to obtain evaluation results that can describe the real state of students.

The Common European Framework of Reference: Transcending perspectives
Authors: Strugielska Ariadna , Piątkowska Katarzyna , Kościałkowska-Okońska Ewa
Published: December 2022

Stressing a balanced and constrained interplay between the individual and the collective and tending towards transdisciplinarity as a consequence, a socio-cognitive perspective prevails in second language acquisition research (Larsen-Freeman 2018). Advancing several theories, including the task-based approach, the ecological approach as well as sociocultural and socio-constructivist theories, the latest version of the CEFR (Council of Europe 2020) has adopted a transdisciplinary perspective. However, the nature of the transdisciplinary approach declared by the Framework (Council of Europe 2020) remains an empirical question. Thus, the present paper explores the extent to which the CEFR (Council of Europe 2020) abides by the principles of a motivated socio-cognitive perspective. The structure of the paper is the following. First, it outlines a transdisciplinary approach to second language development basing on cognitive linguistics, intercultural pragmatics and elements of the teaching learning process. Then, this socio-cognitive approach is sought in the CEFR (Council of Europe 2020). The analysis of the document demonstrates that the social and the individual perspective are symmetrical but not fully integrated, i.e. there is no common denominator linking the two approaches.

Questions of Reference and the Reflexivity of First-Person Thought
Authors: Palmira Michele ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: December 2022

Tradition has it that first-person thought is somehow special. It is also commonplace to maintain that the first-person concept obeys a rule of reference to the effect that any token first-person thought is about the thinker of that thought. Following Annalisa Coliva and, more recently, Santiago Echeverri, I take the specialness claim to be the claim that thinking a first-person thought comes with a certain guarantee of its pattern of reference. Echeverri maintains that such a guarantee is explained by a fairly flatfooted interpretation of the thinker-reflexive rule. I argue, however, that the explanatory aspirations of the thinker-reflexive rule are fulfilled only if we accept an epistemically loaded gloss on the notion of a thinker of a thought featuring the rule. That gloss is unpacked in terms of the subject’s ability to be acquainted with the phenomenal character of their thoughts.

An Empirical Study of the Performance of Green Supply Chain Management in Small and Medium - Sized Enterprises
Authors: Natarajan C , Ramarajan R
Published: December 2022

Sustainable development and environmental preservation are now widely regarded as overriding imperatives for protecting the earth from human activity. For organisations facing competitive, regulatory, and community challenges, balancing economic and environmental performance has become increasingly crucial. The number of organisations incorporating environmental principles into their strategic goals and operations is steadily growing. Environmental concerns about supply chain management are becoming more prevalent now as a result of a wider debate about how industry should address the issues of sustainability. Stakeholder pressures made it challenge for supply chain managers to integrate sustainable practices into their supply chain management. Green supply chains aim to reduce resource and energy consumption as well as pollution emissions, all in the pursuit of a socially responsible firm that balances economic, social, and environmental benefits. Environmental performance is integrated into the enterprise's internal and external management in green supply chain management, which is not the case in traditional supply chains. Hence, performance measurement benefits the green supply chain management process by stabilizing it and providing chances for improvement. However, developing performance measures for the green supply chain is a difficult task. Internal and external processes must both be assessed when it comes to green supply chain management. Thus, conducting an empirical study on the performance of green supply chain management is critical. In this backdrop, the present study examines the performance of green supply chain management in small and medium enterprises. The study is empirical and uses a survey method. For the study, the researchers employed both primary and secondary data sources. The research begins with the gathering of secondary data about small and medium-sized enterprises. Books, reports, journals and periodicals, websites, and other sources of secondary data were used. A questionnaire was used to obtain primary data from small and medium manufacturing enterprises. Analysis of one-way variance, student t test, analysis of co-efficient of variation, and percentage analysis were used to study the performance of green supply chain management. The paper suggests suitable measures for effective green supply chain management in small and medium enterprises.

Work-life balance is considered to be important for both, business practice and academic research. The literature shows that work-life balance is a central issue affecting wellbeing, as family and work are the most important elements of everyone's life. Any competing demands of work and family life cause conflict and negatively affect the wellbeing of workers. This study focused on assessing the impact of work-life balance determined by work- family conflict and family work conflict on the wellbeing of individuals employed in the private sector in India. Wellbeing was measured by levels of family satisfaction, work satisfaction and psychological distress. Quantitative research methods were used for the study, and a sample population was chosen amongst participants who were single and in a relationship, female and male, with and without children, by using a convenient sampling method. Findings of the study revealed that while work interference with personal life and personal life interference with work had a negative relationship with job satisfaction, work and personal life enhancement had a positive relationship with job satisfaction. Thus, we can safely conclude that work and personal life needs to be integrated and balanced by organizations through work-life balance initiatives.

Issues, Challenges, and Prospects of the Introduction of the Practice of Paralegals: The Role of NBA Vis-À-Vis Access to Justice in Nigeria
Authors: Akpan Macaulay
Published: December 2022

Purpose: This paper examined the uptightness of the legal practice in Nigeria as evident in extant provisions of the legal practitioners’ rules of professional conduct which prohibit non-lawyers from the practice of law in Nigeria. It is however, posited that it would be rather reasonable, beneficial and dignifying to borrow a leaf from other climes where the practice of paralegals-persons trained in law and law practices and/or under the guidelines provided by relevant bodies of Bar Associations in these different jurisdictions, is in vogue.

Methodology: This work adopts doctrinal, descriptive, prescriptive and analytical research methods.

Findings: This work found that most lawyers in their write-ups expressed general apprehensions that the introduction of the practice of paralegals would open the floodgate of competition and more sharp practices in the legal profession.

Conclusion: Most lawyers suggest that the practice of paralegals should not be encouraged in Nigeria. However, some others welcome the concept provided that the practice of paralegals is well regulated and streamlined.

Recommendations: Nevertheless, this paper recommends, among other things, that while the envisaged regulations for the practice of paralegals is welcomed, there is a need to consider the entire concept dispassionately. This should be with a view to assessing its potentials in terms of its capacity to ameliorate the inherent occupational stress arising from the ever-increasing workload usually rummaged through, distilled and discerned by lawyers, in the performance of professional duties to their clients. This, therefore, will elongate the lifespan of legal practitioners vis-a-vis appropriate individual and corporate life insurance policies in place, with attendant improved productivity and financial freedom both to the paralegals and qualified lawyers in view.
