Representations of Islam and Muslims in Media Addressed by Corpus-Based Approaches: Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Alluhaidah Monther 
Published: October 2023

In the last decade, the synergy of corpus linguistics (CL) methods within critical discourse analysis (CDA) has gained increasing popularity. This study aims to review and analyse studies related to different representations of Islam and Muslims in mainstream and alternative media addressed by corpus methodologies. It seeks to identify cross-cutting themes, similarities and differences and offer a synthesis of the literature findings to map the research topics that covered Islam and Muslims in media. Research papers are systematically searched in Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, and Science Direct from 2000 to July 2021. A total of 8 articles are selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. All these articles are incorporated coherently to answer four predetermined research questions. This systematic literature review results show that the studies focus to a great extent only on Islam as a religion only and Muslim women, not on other topics, that are discriminatorily portrayed in the western media. In terms of women’s representations, they are depicted as either passive victims or active fighters. Whereas Islam is represented relatively negatively as an ideology, not a religion, and they use the reduction and confirmation hypothesis by selecting news articles to justify a predetermined idea.

गोस्वामी तुलसीदास प्रणीत साहित्य में मानवीय गुणों की अवधारणा
Authors: - प्रो. रश्मि कुमार 
Published: October 2023

गोस्वामी तुलसीदास जी मात्रा एक भक्त कवि ही नहीं थे वरन एक महान द्रष्टा, मानवतावादी चिन्तक और मनीषी भी थे। तत्कालीन समाज की स्थिति और अन्य चुनौतियों को देखते हुए गोस्वामी जी की दूरदर्शिता ने उन्हें ऐसे ग्रन्थ के निर्माण की प्रेरणा दी जिसकी भाषा सामान्य जनता के पहुँच में हो। तुलसीदास का आविर्भाव जिस युग में हुआ और जो चुनौतियाँ उनके सामने थीं उस अन्ध युग को ऐसे आदर्श की आवश्यकता थी जो जन मन को छूकर अनुकरण करने के लिए प्रेरित करे, आवश्यकता थी ऐसे नायक की जो शाब्दिक उच्चारण के स्थान पर आचरण द्वारा आदर्श प्रस्तुत कर सके। उच्चतर मानव गुणों से जुड़ा एक चरित्रा जो फतवे नहीं देता बल्कि अपने आचरण से उन्हं प्रामाणिक करता है। व्यापक एवं सर्वग्राही दृष्टि से सम्पन्न तुलसीदास ने समाज के कल्याण एवं उद्धार के लिए उच्चतर मूल्यों, शील, मर्यादा, करूणा, आदि से युक्त राम का आदर्श चरित्रा जनता के समक्ष रखा। राम एक व्यक्ति चरित्रा न होकर समाज नायक, लोक नायक हैं जिनके माध्यम से गोस्वामी तुलसीदास जी मानवीय गुणों का प्रक्षेपण किये हैं। मानस के राम उदार चेता महापुरुष हैं। उनके यहाँ विस्तार है, व्यापकता है, औदार्य है, प्रेम है, करूण, दया है, परोपकार है। मानवीय गुणों में कभी संकीर्णता नहीं होती वे व्यापक और शाश्वत होते हैं, उनका स्वरूप सार्वभौमिक होता है।	गोस्वामी तुलसीदासजी राम के माध्यम से शौर्य, धैर्य, बल, विवेक, परोपकार, क्षमा, दया, समता, दान, संतोष, अहिंसा आदि सार्वभौम मानवीय गुणों का गुणगान किये हैं।

De la LIC 06 à la Force aux frontières
Authors: Gonzalez Bernard 
Published: October 2023

Depuis les attentats survenus le 13 novembre 2015, la France a rétabli les contrôles à ses frontières intérieures (RCFI), en application des dispositions du règlement du 15 mars 2006 établissant un code communautaire relatif au régime de franchissement des frontières par les personnes (dit « code Schengen », modifié par le règlement du 9 mars 2016). Parallèlement, pour répondre à l’importance des flux migratoires illégaux à la frontière franco-italienne, un dispositif LIC 06 (Lutte contre l’immigration clandestine) a été mis en place depuis novembre 2016 afin d’assurer la cohérence de l’ensemble des forces impliquées dans les Alpes-Maritimes. Face à la forte augmentation des flux transfrontaliers clandestins connue depuis le début de l’année 2023, la Première ministre a annoncé le 26 avril 2023 la mise en place d’une Force aux frontières expérimentale dans le département des Alpes-Maritimes (dès le 1 er juin 2023) et dans les Hautes-Alpes (à compter du 1 er juillet 2023). Cette expérimentation doit tout à la fois permettre de fournir des indicateurs objectivant l’efficacité de nos dispositifs, de renforcer la complémentarité des forces engagées et d’établir un contrat opérationnel établissant un socle de moyens affectés dans ces départements à la lutte contre l’immigration illégale. Dans ce cadre, la Force frontières 06 permettra, d’une part, de définir des doctrines d’emploi et de coordination pour les moyens humains comme technologiques et, d’autre part, d’adapter en conséquence ces moyens engagés à la frontière en fonction de la nature et de l’intensité des flux constatés ou anticipés.
Le Maroni n’est pas une frontière
Authors: Queffelec Thierry 
Published: October 2023

Vaste territoire grand comme la Nouvelle Aquitaine mais peuplé de seulement 300 000 habitants, la Guyane a la particularité de compter deux immenses frontières terrestres françaises avec des pays n’appartenant pas à l’UE : le Surinam à l’ouest, sur le Maroni, et le Brésil à l’est, sur l’Oyapock. De tous temps, les hommes sont passés de l’une à l’autre des deux rives, et continuent de le faire malgré les frontières et les obligations qui en découlent. Comment dans ces conditions juguler ce mouvement, dans le respect de notre souveraineté ?
Les Terres australes et antarctiques françaises : des territoires-frontières au cœur des enjeux de la planète
Authors: Jeanblanc-Risler Florence 
Published: October 2023

Situées aux confins du territoire national, les Terres australes et antarctiques françaises, formées par l’archipel Crozet, l’archipel Kerguelen, les îles Saint-Paul et Amsterdam (dits « districts austraux »), la terre Adélie et les îles Éparses, illustrent la notion de « frontière » dans toutes ses dimensions. Elles sont en effet non seulement constitutives de frontières nationales ( borders ), mais également d’opportunités d’échanges et de coopérations, notamment en matière de recherche scientifique. Longtemps envisagées comme des fronts pionniers ( frontier en anglais), elles font aujourd’hui l’objet d’une politique de restauration et de conservation visant à rétablir leurs écosystèmes originels. L’accélération de la compétition entre les grandes puissances dans la zone indopacifique et les effets du changement climatique, qui touche directement ces territoires-frontières en apparence préservés du chaos du monde, font peser un risque non négligeable sur leur stabilité.
La fin des frontières ?
Authors: Boniface Pascal 
Published: October 2023

La mondialisation et son accélération ont fait croire à la « fin des frontières ». Ce sentiment s’est vu renforcé par la chute de l’URSS et la disparition du rideau de fer qui avait divisé l’Europe pendant près d’un demi-siècle. Or, les conflits en ex-Yougoslavie, en Afrique ou au Proche-Orient, et plus récemment la guerre en Ukraine ou les tensions en Asie rappellent combien les frontières continuent de faire l’objet de confrontations à l’échelle internationale. À cela s’ajoute les dynamiques migratoires qui soulignent le caractère inégalitaire des frontières que certains États cherchent à rendre infranchissables, ou la pandémie de Covid-19 qui témoigne que des frontières qu’on croyait durablement abaissées, peuvent à tout moment redevenir hermétiques, bien que de manière temporaire. L’enjeu de la frontière reste donc un élément structurant des relations internationales.
Jérusalem, ville sainte contestée
Authors: Vogt Matthias 
Published: October 2023

Les chrétiens de Jérusalem, répartis sur 13 communautés confessionnelles reconnues, luttent pour préserver leur présence face à un environnement juif et musulman de plus en plus hostile et dans une situation œcuménique pas toujours facile. La précarité de leur statut légal, l’impossibilité de conclure des mariages avec des chrétiens de Cisjordanie et la menace de pauvreté sont autant de raisons pour réfléchir de l’émigration. Les écoles chrétiennes et les services des Églises au niveau de l’assistance sociale et de la santé leur sont, pourtant, un appui important. En Israël, les communautés chrétiennes palestiniennes se voient côtoyées, voire concurrencées, par des chrétiens vivant complètement dans le milieu juif : chrétiens orthodoxes originaires de l’Europe de l’Est d’un côté, travailleurs migrants et refugiés de l’autre. À la différence des chrétiens de Jérusalem, les chrétiens arabes d’Israël se sentent assez bien intégrés dans l’État juif et ceci malgré certaines inégalités et les tensions qui vont en s’agrandissant dans les villes mixtes. Les chrétiens en Palestine, en revanche, considèrent l’État d’Israël comme « occupant » et participent à la lutte pour leurs ambitions nationales sans être insensibles à la montée d’idées islamistes. Fidèles à leur responsabilité pour la sauvegarde des lieux saints, l’accueil des pèlerins, le service pastoral et social auprès des communautés locales, la préservation de l’identité chrétienne et la défense des droits de l’homme, les Églises de Terre Sainte doivent s’investir de plus un plus pour gérer les attentes des différentes catégories de leurs fidèles. Ceci fait des Églises une sorte de laboratoire de la paix où des positions divergeantes doivent être équilibrées.
Decreasing Nurses' Anxiety About Pediatric End-of-Life Care With Simulation
Authors: Roseland Kelsey A. , Cook Michelle , Connelly Patricia , Dungan Jennifer R. 
Published: October 2023

Background:
Caring for pediatric patients at the end of life (EOL) can lead to anxiety and burnout for critical care nurses. New graduate nurses (NGNs) often report receiving inadequate education related to EOL care and then enter the workforce with limited clinical experience in caring for patients at EOL. A quality improvement project at a pediatric academic hospital sought to determine whether a simulation-based educational program for NGNs working in critical care could reduce anxiety about EOL care.

Method:

Eight NGNs participated in a case study and simulation-based educational program that encompassed topics such as communication, symptom management, postmortem care, and support for the family at EOL. Anxiety was measured pre- and postprogram with the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI
©
).

Results:
Anxiety levels after participation in the EOL educational program decreased by 24.1% from preprogram levels.

Conclusion:

Providing NGNs in critical care with a case- and simulation-based EOL educational program can reduce anxiety levels and potentially decrease caregiver burnout.

BACKGROUND:
The state of Sikkim possesses 26% of Indian flowering plants. This is an important phytogeographical region of India. There are no floristic exploration studies being carried out in East Sikkim district. Due to this, the present study was intended to explore the floristic diversity in the East Sikkim district of Sikkim state.

METHODS:
For the exploration, the Medico Ethno-Botanical Survey (MEBS) team surveyed 09 different forest ranges of East Sikkim and documented the floristic diversity as per the guidelines of CCRAS, Ministry of Ayush, New Delhi.

RESULTS:
The study explored 165 plant species belonging to 140 genera of 71 families. Among the collected plants, the family Asteraceae represents the highest number (15) of plants, whereas the genus Rhododendron exhibits more number (06) of species. The herbs encompass a copious number (87) of plants compared to other habits of the plant. The enlisted plants were cross-verified with Ayurvedic texts, which revealed that 26 plant species were indexed with their Ayurvedic formulations. The IUCN status and trade value of the explored plants were also mentioned.

CONCLUSIONS:
The floristic exploratory studies represent the species richness of a particular geographical area. It facilitates further research for scholars to utilize the plant taxa sustainably to taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity, and medicinal plants-related works to manufacture herbal-based formulations.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

Momordica charantia L. is one of the important Ayurvedic drugs having anti-diabetic, anti-viral, anti-ulcerogenic, anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, and anti-lipolytic and hepatoprotective properties. This study was designed for comparative fingerprint profiling of vicine bioactive compound in M. charantia L. fruit extract and coded Ayurvedic formulation extract through high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) and for developing rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of vicine in fruit extract and coded Ayurvedic formulation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The dried powder of M. charantia L. fruit (10.3448 g) and powder of coded Ayurvedic formulation (13.4975 g) were extracted by using a Soxhlet apparatus for 24 h. For HPTLC finger printing, ethyl acetate: methanol: water: formic acid (7:3:1:0.5; v/v/v/v) was used as a solvent system. The quantitative analysis was performed by HPLC using acetonitrile and water (65:35 v/v) as mobile phase, with 1.0 mL/min flow rate at 275 nm, and the retention time of vicine was 3.688 min.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
A band was obtained at 254 nm (green, R
f = 0.31) in standard and test solution tracks of M. charantia L. fruit extract and coded Ayurvedic formulation extract corresponding to vicine. The calibration plot showing linear relationship with concentration has been observed. A linear equation is y = 12.224x + 7.829, and the goodness of fit (r
2) of 0.99 was obtained from the regression analysis, which showed proportional dependence between concentration and peak area.

CONCLUSION:
Results of the HPLC analysis showed that the coded Ayurvedic formulation extract and M. charantia L. fruit extract contains 0.0273% and 0.0603% of vicine biomarker compound, respectively.

Authors: Jain Nishta , Kamat Rajeshwari V. , Koralli Anil 
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:

Goghrita has a wide spectrum of medicinal properties for external as well as internal applications. Shatadhout ghrita (SDG) is a samskarita ghrita, derived when washed in cold water a hundred times. In this study, an attempt has been made to standardize the pharmaco-analytical parameters for SDG using modern tools. The aim of this study is to develop the pharmaceutical standards of SDG and to establish the analytical parameters of SDG.

METHODS:

Ghrita is procured from the GMP-certified KLE Ayurveda Pharmacy, Belgaum, Karnataka, India. Three samples of SDG were prepared as per classical method. Goghrita and all three samples of SDG were subjected to the analysis of organoleptic characters and physicochemical parameters such as pH, moisture content, acid value, iodine value, saponification value, unsaponification value, microbial load, according to the Ayurvedic Pharmacopeia of India, in Ayush-Approved ASU Drug Testing Laboratory, KAHER’s Shri B.M. Kankanwadi Ayurveda Mahavidyalaya, Shahpur, Belgaum, Karnataka, India.

RESULTS:

Ghrita transformed into a semisolid, pale yellow, creamy texture, smooth to the touch with a pleasant odor. The final quantity of ghrita after 100 washes was increased, and all the analytical results for ghrita and three samples of Shatdhout ghrita were explained.

CONCLUSION:
The ghrita achieves a non-granular form from granular texture. Analytical parameters such as pH, moisture content, acid value, iodine value, saponification value, and unsaponification value of all the three samples of SDG showed significant changes in comparison to ghrita.

Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:
Certain phytochemical compounds that act as therapeutic or chemical markers play a crucial role in the identification of raw drugs or formulations in the course of standardization and quality control. The isolation and development of marker compounds are important. In this study, the isolation of plumbagin was aimed at the development of a phytochemical marker compound from Plumbago zeylanica L.

METHODS:
The P. zeylanica L. root was purchased from the crude drug market from Chennai, authenticated at Captain Srinivasa Murthy Central Ayurveda Research Institute (CSMCARI), Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Successive extraction of Soxhlet was carried out, and high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) profiles and thin layer chromatography (TLC) array were developed and documented at UV 254 nm. The bulk sample was extracted through the cold maceration method. The crude extracts of n-hexane and chloroform were combinedly loaded on the silica-gel column for separation and isolation of the marker compound. Various spectral data were recorded using instruments such as UV, IR, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electrospray ionization-mass, HPTLC, and high-performance liquid chromatography for further confirmation of the isolated compound.

RESULTS:
Isolation was carried out through the separation of components of combined crude extracts of n-hexane and chloroform through chromatography over column loaded with silica gel using a mixture of n-hexane and chloroform as a mobile phase in a gradient manner. Finally, the yellow orange color solid compound (0.09% yield W.R.T. raw material) was eluted in a mobile phase of n-hexane: chloroform (6: 4, v/v). The eluted compound was cross-verified with the R
f
of plumbagin on co-TLC and further confirmed by spectral data such as UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR, and EI-Mass and are found according to the reported data.

CONCLUSION:
The developed TLC and HPTLC profiles of successive extracts are used for identification of P. zeylanica L. in the course of standardization. The developed profiles and observed data for all spectra are compared with the data reported in the literature and found to be correlated. Thus the isolated compound is confirmed as Plumbagin.
Detoxification of Datura metel L. seeds using Shodhana (purifying process) and estimation of scopolamine content
Authors: Meena Ajay Kumar , Venktaraman Poorna , Singh Ravindra , Ganji Kusuma , Srikanth Narayanam , Dhiman Kartar Singh , Motiwale Mohit , Chaturvedi Sadhna , Dixit Amit Kumar 
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:
The seeds of Datura metel L. are classified as toxic in the classical texts of Ayurveda and hence need to be purified by the traditional method as mentioned before using for medications.

METHODS:
In this study, the seeds of Datura metel L. were detoxified by Shodhana, an Ayurvedic purifying process. The process of detoxification (Shodhana) was performed by soaking the seeds in gomutra (cow’s urine) and boiling them in godugdha (cow’s milk). The preliminary phytochemical and physicochemical analyses were performed simultaneously for the processed and unprocessed Datura metel L. seeds. The total ethanol and chloroform extracts of the processed and unprocessed Datura metel L. seed samples were used for chemical profiling using high-performance thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. Scopolamine content was quantified by HPLC in both processed and unprocessed seeds.

RESULTS:
Scopolamine was not detected in the chloroform extract. The ethanol extract found that the detoxification process has removed scopolamine content in the processed Datura metel L. seed. An attempt has been made to identify the chemical constituents responsible for the toxicity by measuring the level of major chemical constituents before and after the detoxification of seeds.

CONCLUSION:
This study reveals that the process of Shodhana was effective by reducing the content of scopolamine, and hence it was mandatory and supports its use in medications.
