La Motivación y la Procrastinación en Matemática
Authors: Andrade Gámez Nelson E. 
Published: December 2024

La procrastinación es un fenómeno frecuente en nuestra vida diaria, debido a que cada vez la sociedad nos demanda un mayor número de actividades y nos impone exigencias a las que no se puede o no se sabe responder. En este estudio se han validado cuestionarios de motivación y procrastinación para comprobar, en una muestra de 163 estudiantes de Bachillerato de Esmeraldas (Ecuador), si existe relación entre la procrastinación y la motivación, qué sexo procrastina más y cuándo se procrastina más. Mediante la aplicación de los cuestionarios y el análisis de los resultados estadísticos se concluyó que no existe relación significativa entre la motivación y la procrastinación, que tanto las mujeres como los hombres procrastinan por igual y que se procrastina más al principio y medio año que al final del año lectivo.Palabras clave: Procrastinación; motivación; matemática. AbstractProcrastination is a frequent phenomenon in our daily life, because every time society demands a greater number of activities and imposes demands on us that we cannot or we do not know how to respond to. In this study, questionnaires of motivation and procrastination were validated to verify, in a sample of 163 high school students from Esmeraldas (Ecuador), if there is a relationship between procrastination and motivation, which sex procrastinates more, and when there is more procrastination. Through the application of the questionnaires and the statistical results obtained, it was concluded that there is no significant relationship between motivation and procrastination, both women and men procrastinate equally and procrastinate more at the beginning and a half year than at the end of the school year.Keywords: Procrastination; motivation; mathematics.

Authors: Sivanandan Anagha , Parmar Bhaktiba L 
Published: December 2024

Introduction-Abnormal and excessive white discharge per vagina is termed as Shweta Pradara(NAMC code- EL 5) in Ayurvedic classics. It is a very a common complaint reported by the women of reproductive age group.In this trial, a protocol combining both systemic and topical approaches has been implemented for the management of Shwetapradara.
Material and methods: 17 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were selected from the OPD of Prasuti tantra and Stree Roga, of the concerned college. Kukkutanda Twak Bhasma in a dose of 250 mg twice a day with honey was administered for 30 days and Pippalyadi yoni varti was kept per vagina (for 3 hours daily) after the completion of bleeding phase of menstrual cycle for 7 days. The effect of therapy was assessed by change in the scores of assessment criteria and vaginal pH.
Result: Statistically highly significant (p<0.001) results were obtained in amount and consistency of discharge (Yonisrava) and Yonikandu. Significant(p<0.05) results was obtained in Katishoola.
Discussion: Shweta Pradara can be considered as Kapha-vata pradhana Tridoshaja Vyadhi and its line of treatment should be Kapha-vatahara, Yoni vishodhana and Krimighna. Sthanika Chikitsa is having great role when combined with the systemic approach in the management of Shwetapradara. The Kaphahara and Yonivishodhana action of Pippalyadi Varti was supported by the systemic effect of Kukkutanda Twak Bhasma leading to appreciable results.
Conclusion: Oral administration of Kukkutanda Twak Bhasma along with local application of Pippalyadi Yoni Varti was found to be effective in the management of Shweta Pradara and recommended for further research.

Analytical Evaluation of Bhallataka Shodhana Using Two Methods and Their Significance
Authors: Umretia Bharti L , Shirvi Devanshi , Aarya Pragati 
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Bhallataka (Semecarpus anacardium Linn.) is first classified in the text named Rasopnishata under Upavisha group and is also listed in Schedule E1 drug in the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules 1945. Due to its toxic properties, Bhallataka should only be used after undergoing proper purification. Various classical texts outline different methods for purifying Bhallataka to ensure its safe and effective use in medical treatments. Methods and Materials:In this study, two methods for the purification of Bhallataka fruits were explored. Sample 1 was Ashuddha Bhallataka, while sample 2 was purified Bhallataka fruits using coconut water, as described in the Rasa Tarangini and sample 3 underwent purification with cow urine, cow milk, and brick powder, following the Rasamrita method. A comparative analytical study was conducted on all three samples, evaluating various parameters such as organoleptic characteristics, physicochemical properties, phytochemical composition, total polyphenol, and GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) analysis. Result: Three samples of Bhallataka were analyzed for their physicochemical and phytochemical properties. The total polyphenol content was highest in sample 1 (3.41 %), followed by sample 2 (2.70 %) and sample 3 (2.57 %), indicating a decrease in phenolic compounds after purification. Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides in all samples, with variations in the intensity of certain compounds. GC-MS analysis identified 20 distinct compounds in each sample, with sample 1 exhibiting 5 spectra, sample 2 showing 4 spectra, and sample 3 displaying 5 spectra, each with varying retention times. Discussion: Purification significantly impacts Bhallataka's properties. Sample 1, the unpurified form, had the highest total polyphenol content, while sample 2 and sample 3, after purification, showed lower levels of phenols. GC-MS analysis revealed distinct chemical profiles for each sample, confirming that purification alters the composition of Bhallataka.
The Analysis Study of Association of Dyslipidemia and Diabetic Retinopathy: A Comprehensive Systematic Review
Authors: Anindi Putri Harjanti  , Yuliani  
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness in diabetic patients, and its progression is influenced by various factors, including dyslipidemia. This systematic review aims to assess the relationship between dyslipidemia and DR, focusing on lipid profiles such as LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Method: We conducted a systematic review of studies published between 2010 and 2023 that examined the association between dyslipidemia and DR in diabetic patients. Studies were selected based on inclusion criteria, including cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control designs. Data regarding lipid profiles, DR stages, and statistical significance were extracted and analyzed. Result: The literature search was conducted across reputable databases such as Science Direct, PubMed, and SagePub. After a rigorous three-level screening process, eight relevant studies were selected for detailed evaluation. These studies varied in design, including cross-sectional, cohort, and retrospective studies, and involved diverse sample sizes ranging from 45 to over 79 million participants. The findings consistently indicated a significant association between dyslipidemia and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Several studies reported elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides (TGs) and reduced levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in patients with DR compared to those without. Additionally, certain studies suggested a protective effect of statins on non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), while medications such as pitavastatin and fenofibrate were associated with a reduced prevalence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and vitreous hemorrhage. Discussion: The findings suggest that dyslipidemia, particularly elevated LDL and reduced HDL cholesterol levels, contributes to the development and progression of DR. However, the lack of clear temporal precedence and the absence of control groups in some studies limit the ability to establish causality. The heterogeneity in study designs also affects the generalizability of the results. Conclusion: Dyslipidemia plays a significant role in the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy. Future research should focus on high-quality longitudinal studies that account for confounders and temporal relationships to better understand the causal link between dyslipidemia and DR.

Antimicrobial Resistance: Implementing an Effective Response for a Growing Global Health Threat
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Nigeria, Ekuri Susan 
Published: December 2024

The growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health challenge. The rising prevalence of resistant microbes increases the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Although AMR has gained global attention in recent years, public health experts are still faced with the challenge of implementing effective policies and programmes to combat the threat.

The aim of this review was to examine the global health threat and significance of AMR. The review explores the public health impact of AMR and the drivers of its spread as well as the current strategies used in combating the problem. The paper also critically analyses the existing public health response, policies and legislations and offers possible future directions for a more effective response.

Google and Google Scholar search engines as well as the PubMed database were searched to identify literature concerning the global impact of AMR as well as the public health response and the current control strategies. Websites of the World Health Organization and similar organisations were also searched. The key search terms used were ‘antimicrobial resistance’, ‘global health’, ‘impact’ and ‘response’.

The review findings highlighted the challenges and gaps in the current response ranging from inadequate implementation of national plans due to poor commitment to a lack of surveillance data. Other challenges include the multifactorial drivers of AMR, changing trends and diverse geographical patterns of some of these factors.

This article was able to emphasise the urgent need for a coordinated global plan, multi-sectoral collaboration among key stakeholders, including embracing a One Health approach to address the use of antimicrobials in agricultural practices for food production. The control of AMR requires a more uniform and guided response for more effective AMR action.
