Critical Analysis: Interplay of E-commerce and Conumer Protection, in Conformity with International Standards
Authors: - ABHINAYA KRISHNA
Published: February 2024

This study examines the existing legislative framework in India that safeguards the interests of online customers in light of the rapidly expanding e-commerce sector and its impact on consumer preferences for online shopping. A thorough analysis of the two recently established laws—the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection (E-commerce) Rules, 2020—as well as a literature review support analysis of 290 online customers were carried out in order to address the study questions and achieve the objectives. Important conclusions include the following: cash on delivery is the preferred method of payment for online purchases; website content and efficient customer support services foster consumer confidence; and safe and dependable systems are critical to the success of e-business firms. One may argue that the new laws are sufficiently strict to uphold the rights of internet shoppers and encourage the expansion of e-commerce in India. In addition to elements like website information, customer service, warranty, security, privacy, and redressal, laws protecting consumer rights in e-commerce also have an impact on consumers' confidence. Expanding e-commerce appears to be promising given the strong legal framework and consumer protection policies in place. The findings add to the body of knowledge on e-commerce and the protection of consumer rights by clarifying the critical elements influencing customer loyalty and trust as well as providing an insightful viewpoint on e-consumer protection in the Indian context with wider implications.
Curriculum, Ideology and Superstition: A Critical Study of English Textbooks in India
Authors: - PRAKASH JAYVANT WAGHMARE
Published: February 2024

The present research paper discusses the curriculum of high school English language textbooks in the context of ideology. The idea of education is not innocent, secular, and ideologically neutral rather it is more biased. Education is full of ideologies. The ruling class that is in power controls the curriculum, textbooks and education system. These influential people manipulate society according to their ideology through education. Schools, textbooks and curricula are the central tools or agencies to transform dominant ideology into society through education. The ruling class people control the education system because they have hidden their benefits in it. Education is used to alter the ideology of dominant people in society. We consider school knowledge as the highest pure knowledge form and accept it without question. Therefore, the dominant class who is in power takes advantage of this situation. And considering this the current research paper critically examines the high school English language textbook in the context of Ideology.

The Crafting of the Dengist Rural Development Strategy in Post- Mao China: 1978-88
Authors: - RAJENDRA DAYAL
Published: February 2024

From the late 1970s for almost a decade post-Mao China witnessed momentous rural reforms. The focus on rural development emerged as it was no longer tenable to raise agricultural production with efficient costs and obtain a higher proportion of it for urban industrial supplies without attending to the peasants' interests and aspirations for a better standard of living. Any further muddling through the situation could have been politically costly for the party state. Post 1978, under Deng Xiaoping’s leadership a new rural development strategy was therefore devised, which was markedly different from the earlier Maoist strategy. This paper explores the course of the rural reforms since the Third Plenum that witnessed swift de-collectivization once reforms in the commune system were initiated and examines the party-state’s response to reforms induced emergent problems, to finally argue that under Deng’s leadership, the new framework of rural development that was instituted was informed by a logic of privatization, within the socialist economy that Mao had built. Contemporary China’s economic rise can be traced to these reforms.

Published: February 2024

Delivery of medication to the human eye is an integral part of medical treatment. Ophthalmic drug delivery is one of the most interesting and challenging endeavors facing the pharmaceutical scientist. The anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of the eye render this organ highly impervious to foreign substances. A significant challenge to the formulator is to circumvent the protective barriers of the eye without causing permanent tissue damage. Development of newer, more sensitive diagnostic techniques and novel therapeutic agents continue to provide ocular delivery systems with high therapeutic efficacy.
The preparation may have any several purposes like therapeutic, prophylactic or palliative. The versatility of dosage form enables therapeutic agent to be suitable for function of preparation. Therapeutically active formulation may be designed to provide extended action for either convenience or reduction in dose frequency, improved bioavailability of an agent or improved delivery to target tissue. The residence time of an ocular preparation may range from few seconds (ophthalmic solutions) to hours (gel, ointments), to months or years (intra ocular or periocular dosage forms). Ophthalmic preparations are similar to parenteral dosage form in their requirements for sterility as well as consideration for osmotic pressure (tonicity), preservation, and tissue compatibility, avoidance of pyrogens and particulate matter and suitable packaging.

The principle of karma holds great importance in the Indian education system and has evolved during the transition. The four Vedas, namely, Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda were configured through ideals, practices and conduct. In the Vedic period, two methods of teaching were prevalent, first, the oral/verbal method, and second, the method based on thinking (contemplation). Bloom's taxonomy defines three domains: learning, cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. Ancient education systems are also based on three domains, developing higher- order learning by building lower-level cognitive skills. Ancient to modern education. The current Higher Education 2020 also suggests a multidisciplinary approach on similar lines. The Vedic period saw teaching being student-centred.

Published: February 2024

Introduction
Patients in icu who are critically sick require basic life support in form of mechanical ventilator. Ventilator associated complication are common in them . Prediction of icu acquired weakness can prevent extubation failure, decrease in hospital mortality and increase icu free day. Thereby decreasing financial burden . Both central and peripheral muscle thickness play role in predicting extubation success.
Aim/Objective :Aim is to measure muscle strength of diaphragm and quadriceps muscle using ultrasonography and to find if central and peripheral muscle strength can be used as a predictor for patients’ extubation outcome.
Study design : Prospective crossectional single centred observational study .
Place and duration of the study : The study was carried out in PCCM department of Kgmu from January 2023 to October 2023.
Methodology: Diaphragm excursion , diaphragm thickness at inspiration and expiration was measured using ultrasonography on right side at 8 th and 9th intercostal space between anterior and mid axillary lines. Quadriceps thickness was also measured at mid point between the anterior superior Iliac spine to patella and was compared with the outcome of the intubated patient .
Results : Out of 42 patients 52% were male(n=22) and 48% were female (n=20). The study showed that the diaphragmatic excursion ( p value <0.001 ) and diaphragmatic thickness at inspiration (p value 0.007 ) was significant in predicting outcome of the patient from mechanical ventilator but quadriceps thickness had no significance( pvalue 0.012). The excursion of the patient <7 , 7-11 and >11 has extubation success of .0%, 46.2 % and 53.8 % respectively. The diaphragmatic inspiration thickness of <1.65 , 1.65 - 3.7 >3.7 has successfull weaning of 0% , 100% and 0% respectively.
Conclusion: Diaphragm excursion plays strong role in predicting the success of extubation and preventing icu acquired weakness. The study reflect the role of diaphragmatic thickness in better outcomes. Quadriceps muscle couldn't be related much with weaning and extubation.

Authors: Kimaro Nice , Timothy Shauri , Mgale Yohana James
Published: February 2024

In most grape-producing countries, the local wine industry faces intense competition due to the introduction of new foreign wines into the local market and changes in wine consumption and consumer preferences for wines. The same has been observed in the Tanzanian wine industry. The study aims to explore the dynamics of consumer preferences toward locally-produced wine. Data were collected from 200 respondents in Dodoma town through snowball and convenience sampling. Qualitative and quantitative types of data were used. Primary data were collected in the field using field observations, a key informant interview checklist, and structured questionnaires using KoBoToolbox. Secondary data were collected by reviewing different published and unpublished materials, such as reviews and reports regarding consumer preferences for local wine. The research revealed that most consumers consider color, taste, income, brand, and price attributes when selecting wines. Furthermore, the study observed that age, income, marital status, price, wine color, packaging and taste significantly influenced consumers' preference for purchasing locally produced wines compared to other factors included in the model. However, attributes such as geographical origin, vintage and grape variety were not considered in the selection of the wines. The study recommends that local wine producers consider consumers' preferred attributes to increase sales. Local marketers and brand managers should also formulate and employ several positioning, market segmentation and targeting strategies that can help them compete effectively with imported wines.

Statistical series of numbers concerning little territorial unities are divided on the map into two equal groups according to the line which keeps - as much as possible - to such outstanding geographical features as watersheds, orographical borders, etc. This line is called geographical median since its character is predominanty geographical, in contrast to the median expressed by the centrographical method: a) except his position a point posesses no other geographical quality; b) although the geographical median does not show any unambiguous results, it nevertheless suggests more realistic ideas since it delimitates an actual area upon which half of the observed factors really occur. The geographical median is a logical supplement to every statistical map or cartogram as far as it concerns the geographical distribution (not intensity), and as far as it shows to what extent this is balanced. Its main advantage over the centrographical method is the possibility of a world-wide comparison. The author gives the following examples of application (mostly from Czechoslovakia): 1. number of inhabitants according to localities in 1930 and 1955 (fig. 2, line P1, P2); 2. number of inhabitants engaged in industry according to districts in 1930 and 1955 (fig. 1, line I. 1, I. 2); 3. number of inhabitants working in engineering, wood working and food industries (fig. 1, line 1, 2, 3). The occurrence of wood working industry corresponds to the occurrence of forested areas (line 4); 4. extent of the area according to the localities by which the median line keeps as much as possible to the orographic border of the Bohemian Massif (fig. 2, line A). As far as the area and the population is concerned, the author indicates analogical lines also for the Czechoslovak part of the drainage basin of the Odra (Silesia) which extends to both halves of the Czechoslovak territory. The distribution of population as well as industry is much less balanced here than in the remaining parts of the state (fig. 3). The author compares areas delimitated by this in the following three ways: 1. The area on which half of the total population of the state live is compared with the total area of the state. In Czechoslovakia the ratio was 46,9% in 1955, which is a fairly favourable figure. 2. The density of population on a square kilometer was compared in both - western and eastern - halves of the state (106,0: 97,7 = 1,085). The author also compared the density of population in both areas where half of the total population are resident (108,6:95,9 = 1,132). The ratio is called the median density of population. Most probably only in few states the ratio keeps as low as in Czechoslovakia. 3. The author compares half of the state territory with the area on which half of the population live. In 1930 this area was smaller by 19,7% than the half of the state territory, in 1955 only by 6,2%. In this way, the above difference in median areas has been cut down to one third and the density of population in the state has become more balanced.
The First Hypsometric Map of the Tatras and Their Foreland
Authors: Szaflarski Józef

On a comparatively small area the mass of the High Tatras rises abruptly above its neighbourhood reaching the height of over 2600 m a. s. l. No wonder that it has been attracting the attention of cartographers eversince long ago. Already ancient maps of Hungary and Spiš County showed the Tatra mass. The Swedish botanist J. Wahlenberg, compiled a map of the Tatras on which he distinguished individual mountain zones of phytogeographical formations with different colour shades. The oldest hypsometric map of the Tatras is the map made by W. Warhanek, issued in Vienna 1857. The author, a Viennese professor of geography, based his work upon contemporary literature without having ever seen the area in question. For the compilation of the map he made use of the scheme by Hauslab, i. e. of the Viennese cartographical school. In determinig the colour shades of the individual zones, he proceeded according to the paralele "the higher, the darker in shade", leaving only a few exceptions. He designed the isohypses by interpolation of some 700-800 elevation points which he had at his disposal. The present paper discusses in much detail this first coloured hypsometric map of the Tatras. If we compare, however, the latest hypsometric map of approximately the same scale (1 : 900 000), we have but to admit that the old map shows a considerable imperfection in representing the area of the Tatras. The author of the map, however, was the first to state the highest peak in the Tatra Mountains, applying the method of panoramatic section. Due to the fact that he had not applied the right method in compilation (relying only upon literary works at hand), the map has remained only a notable historical-geographical document of its time. A few years later, K. Kořistka belonging to the same Viennese school, compiled a very good hypsometric map of the Tatra Mountains.

Coronary vasospasm testing: escape from the cath lab!

Coronary vasospasm stands as a widely acknowledged and frequent culprit behind chest pain, acute coronary syndrome, and sudden cardiac death, yet it remains a challenging diagnosis. Current guidelines recommend invasive coronary function testing to assess pathophysiology and mechanisms and to define treatment. In reality, this protocol is rarely applied, because it necessitates extended occupation of the cath lab, repetitive administration of nephrotoxic iodine contrast agents, the need for repeated testing on both coronary arteries leading to considerable radiation exposure, and significant direct expenses. The promising perspective for vasospasm testing is a noninvasive approach with advanced echocardiographic techniques, such as transthoracic Doppler echocardiography, with more sensitive indicators of ischemia. Hyperventilation and exercise tests are used for vasospasm directed testing, with assessment of the new parameters: coronary flow velocities and reserve, allowing to see deeper into macro and microvascular pathophysiology. Association between coronary flow, global longitudinal strain and microvascular dysfunction (MVD) and impaired values at hyperemia was previously demonstrated. Reduction in coronary flow velocity (CFV) despite heightened myocardial oxygen consumption and double product during hyperventilation are indicative of coronary vasospasm. Normal coronary angiography finding in patients with documented evidence of ischemia should initiate additional diagnostic testing in order to increase the yield of specific diagnosis in patients with suspected vasospasm, which could help to personalize treatment and prognosis. In order to achieve this, non-invasive provocative stress echocardiography tests should be included in the diagnostic workup. This approach, characterized by its simplicity, feasibility, safety, and efficacy, is currently undergoing extensive testing on a large scale.
