Published: May 2022

Hypertension (HT) is one of the most vital modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Data from HT trials indicate that most subjects need combination therapy to achieve sufficient BP control and in only 50% of trials, this goal was achieved. Addressing the contributory factors is the need of the hour rather than controlling blood pressure (BP) level only. Here the Ayurvedic drugs are having a definite scope in the management. HT may be considered as tridoshaja vyadhi with Vatha dominance with affection of the rasa and raktha dhatus. Ayurgenomics is having a crucial role in explaining how drugs can be used more effectively by targeting them on individuals of particular Prakriti.. The unique method of administering the drug based on the prakriti and dosha in any clinical condition so as to enhance the effect is termed personalized medicine and based on the judgment that the doshahara drugs when added to vyadhihara drug enhances its efficacy potential. Sarpagandha was added with brihat panchamoola, trina panchamoola and triphala in Vatha, Pitta and Kapha groups respectively. Methodology: In the multicentric study, 50 subjects each of Vatha, Pitta and Kapha prakrithi, satisfying the diagnostic criteria were administered with the drug, 6 gm twice daily after food, as per the dosha status for 45 days with BP assessments on 0th day, 15th, 30th, 45th and 60th day. Repeated Measures ANOVA was done for analysis. Result: The mean score reduced throughout the assessments and was significant at 0.01% level indicating the influence on prakriti in the outcome.

Authors: Sawarkar Punam , Sawarkar Gaurav 
Published: May 2022

Chronic renal failure (CRF)is one of the clinical entities which occurs as a result hampering of renal function due to many medical or systemic illness developed due to current fast lifestyle. The contemporary science has quite expensive modalities having non confirming results in advanced stages of diseases. Ayurveda, an ancient science, prefers to prevent or treat the disease in initial condition to avoid such complications. The present case study was taken up to evaluate the cumulative effect of Shodhana & Shamana Chikitsa in CRF based on the collaborative application of two fundamental principles of Ayurveda i.e., root cause analysis and treatment according to underlying pathophysiology involved in specific clinical conditions. This is a case report of a male patient having age 69 years who was diagnosed as CRF before five years & on regular conservative treatment in modern science. However, due to persistent increase in values of renal profile, he approached to Panchakarma OPD MGACH& RC. He underwent Dashmooladi Sasneha Niruha Vasti in addition to some proprietary as well as traditional Ayurvedic medicines (Syp. Neeri KFT, Chandrapbha Vati, Punaranavdi Qwath, Gomutra Arka). After one month, there was significant reduction in values of serum creatinine & Serum Blood urea from 4.89 to 1.21 & 64 to 50 respectively with a substantial decrease in systolic & diastolic blood pressure along with improvement in patients' quality of life. This case study will become helpful in planning further research studies with a large sample size based on cost-effective standard regime in Ayurveda for the management of CRF.

Authors: Polishchuk T. , Bondarenko V. 
Published: May 2022

Studies have shown that the correlation between milk productivity indicators fluctuates widely due to breed differences as well as external conditions (feeding, keeping, care). This analysis makes it possible to objectively determine the breed characteristics of productivity development and their variability. The existence of a positive correlation between these characteristics and milk yield will make it possible to ensure an effective breeding through the selection of animals by their productivity indicators.
The high and direct correlation was determined between lactation duration and milk yield, while the average and direct correlation was between lactation duration, milk fat content and milk protein content. The inverse and low correlation was determined between milk fat content, while the direct and low correlation was between milk protein content, indicating the impact of other factors, such as heredity, level of feeding and the diet composition, on these characteristics.

Medieval Castles of England and Wales
Authors: Lowry Bernard 
Published: May 2022

Designed to dominate the surrounding area, to house powerful garrisons, offer sumptuous quarters for local nobility, and to discourage and repel enemy attacks, castles dominated England and Wales for more than half a millennium. Though some were built before 1066, the Norman Conquest left a lasting legacy in the form of fortifications ranging from small earthworks now barely discernible, to mighty and dominating stone fortresses.
This book examines why castles were so essential to medieval warfare, their importance in domestic politics, and the day-to-day lives of those who lived and worked within them. It also shows how the development of new technologies affected their construction and design, and why they eventually fell into disrepair in the late Middle Ages. Beautifully illustrated with stunning photographs, this is the perfect guide for any castle enthusiast seeking to discover more about medieval fortifications and their inhabitants.

Published: May 2022

Mango production and marketing is hampered by fruit fly infestation that is responsible for high pre and post-harvest losses. To reduce the losses, cost of production and increase the profit at producer level, International Center for Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) had developed and disseminated Integrated Pest Management strategy for suppression of mango fruit flies in selected counties in Kenya. Despite the rapid uptake of the IPM strategy, the role of socio-economic and institutional variables influencing adoption was not clear. Further, the effect of IPM strategies on the welfare of farmers was still not clear in literature. This study was conducted to fill this gap. The general objective of this study was to contribute towards improved market access and improved livelihood through enhanced adoption of IPM technologies for suppression of mango fruit flies in selected counties in Kenya. Data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire on a sample of 660 mango farmers from Embu, Meru, Machakos and Makueni Counties. The study employed a multi-stage sampling procedure technique. STATA software was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, multivariate Probit model, Endogenous switching regression method were used for data analysis. This study found that having a good combination of 2-3 IPM strategies gives the best returns to the farmer. A combination of fruit fly traps, bio- pesticides and orchard sanitation resulted to the highest returns. Education level was positively associated with the use of all IPM strategies available to the small scale mango farmer. This study recommends that the government and other development partners should invest in the provision of formal education and extension services. Empowerment of farmers with formal education would help them understand faster the need to shift to new technology and the effect chemicals when used to control pests to the environment, farm and to the farmer. Farmers are also to be sensitized to seek for extension services from both government extension agents and private extension service providers so as to get service regarding on the use of IPM strategies. To enhance farmer education, frequent trainings on new technologies and innovation, seminars, field demonstrations and field days should be organized for mango farmers to participate fully so that the adoption of the IPM strategies is achieved uniformly.

Published: May 2022

The study sought to explore clinicians’ perspective on factors affecting pain management on terminally ill patients admitted at Longisa County Referral Hospital in southern part of Rift Valley region in Kenya. Factors that facilitates pain management are: use of WHO guidelines, education of clinicians on pain management and incorporating pain assessment as the fifth vital sign. Conversely, barriers leading to under treatment of pain include: lack of knowledge on pain management, lack of pain assessment tools/guidelines, misconceptions of narcotics among clinicians, lack of essential medicines, understaffing, patients and family beliefs of pain, inconsistent supply of opioids and restrictive regulation of opioids. This was an exploratory qualitative study in which in-depth interviews were conducted with clinicians who were purposively sampled to include those who worked in areas with palliative care patients until thematic saturation was achieved. Data was analyzed through thematic content analysis and presented in form of narrative. The study revealed that clinician do not treat pain adequately. Additionally, significant knowledge deficiencies exist regarding current principles of pain management practices and presence of beliefs that interfere with optimal care. Significant knowledge deficiencies are evident regarding currently accepted principles of pain management practices, as well as beliefs and lack of essential drugs including opioids which hinders pain management therefore clinicians must be educated continuously especially with ongoing educational sessions with a focus on knowledge of current pain management principles.
Jury Strikes Back
Authors: Orct Brandon 
Published: May 2022

Ontario’s civil jury system has been the topic of many discussions about reform. However, none of these explorations contemplated the drastic effects of ever-evolving public health emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened Ontario’s access to civil justice crisis through extensive pandemic delays, while simultaneously challenging the role of civil jury in administering justice. Ontario consequently provides a ripe case study to explore how the pandemic has affected civil jury trials and to explore ways of enhancing their viability in a post-pandemic Ontario.

This this article is concerned with advancing measures that can not only enhance the viability of civil jury trials going forward, but advance access to civil justice more generally. The purpose of this article is twofold. First, to examine how the pandemic has fundamentally challenged the viability of civil jury trials while exacerbating existing impediments to accessing civil justice. And second, to outline a multifaceted approach to reforming the jury trial to ensure it remains a viable vehicle for civil justice consistent with enhancing access to justice through the pandemic. The hope is that this article will inspire much needed exploration into Ontario’s civil justice system to address the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and future emergencies.

Borehole water remains a source of potable water in Nigeria. Therefore, regular monitoring of the safety of drinking water cannot be over-emphasized. Hence the need to study the safety of water in wash borehole from Pantisawa Yorro Local Government of Taraba State, Nigeria. A total of 15 samples from wash boreholes were randomly collected aseptically using sterilized bottles and igniting with a flame lighter on the surface of the water outlet from the five different zones (Pantisawa Main Market YM, Kapazang YG, Dola YD, Kallau YK and Zabi YZ) of Pantisawa. The pour plate technique was used to ascertain microbial load while trace metals in water samples were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) PG-990. The total bacteria coliform count in the borehole water samples ranged between 1.00×106 cfu/ml and 9.00×105 cfu/ml which generally exceeded the World health organization (WHO) standard limit of 1.0 x 102 cfu/ml for water. The most prevalent or predominant bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus with 40% distribution occurrences from four sample sites (YG, YM, YD and YK). E.coli had a 20 % distribution while Bacillus spp, Enterococcus spp, Salmonella spp, Streptococcus spp, Staphylococcus and Shigella spp showed low percent distribution. The trace metal analysis for the water revealed the absence of Pb in all the water samples analyzed, Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu were below the admissible limits for all the sites except for Fe in sites YG which fall above the standard. All other elements (Ni, Cd, As and Co) were above the threshold limit set by National Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) and the World Health Organization (WHO) respectively. Thus, the presence of pollutants and microbial contaminants may have serious health risks to the people using such water for drinking and other domestic activities.

Forgetting Greekness inRomola
Authors: Ünlüönen Sezen 
Published: May 2022

AbstractCritics have uncovered many relevant contexts to further our understanding of Romola, from fifteenth-century Florentine politics and Piero di Cosimo’s Higher Primitivism to Eliot’s quarry and Leighton’s illustrations. In this article, I look at a previously understudied context that is crucial to our understanding of Romola: the Turkish conquest of former Greek territories in the fifteenth century. I show that, in Romola, following the Turkish conquest, an amnesia surrounds all things Greek (from Tito and Baldassare to Greek churches), and I argue that this amnesia is ideologically motivated in the aftermath of the Crimean War during which Britain was an ally of the Ottomans against Greek interests. Ultimately, this insight helps us see that for Romola, artworks are the true bearers of history even in the face of ideological erasure.
