description: All this makes one point very clear : Aparānta, along with Punjab, Sindhū-Sauvira (Lower Indus Valley on either sides of the river) and Sourashtra, was outside the ārya heartland. The people of Aparānta have been enumerated by these Sanskrit texts along with the Kshetriyas, the Vaisyas and the Sudras, who are clearly non-Ārya; and clubbed along with ‘the Gold-Scythians and all the lawless hordes of barbarians living in the west’. This exclusion becomes more obvious and loathsome when we look at some other Sanskrit texts. According to Baudhāyana Dharmasūtra (I.1.31) the countries of Suraśtra, Sindhu, and Sauvira are ‘not of pure Aryan ancestry’ and a person who goes to Āraṭṭa and Sauvira has to offer a solemn sacrifice like the Sarvapṛśṭha. (Kane, 1941 : Vol . II, Part 1, 15) Arāṭṭa has been identified as ‘a region in the Rann of Kutch’ based on Dholavira excavations and Ashoka edicts; Vatsyayana too couples Aparānta and Āraṭṭa or Lāt together : “आपरान्तिका लाट्यश्च” (Kāmasutra, Chapter 5, Part 2, Shloka 26) (Kedarnath, 1891 : Shri Vatsyayanapranitam Kamasutram, 130) The Mitākśara commentary on Yājñavālkya Smṛtī, III, 292 quotes a verse of Devala to the effect that if a man goes to Sindhu, Sauvira and Saurastra, for purpose other than pilgrimage, he has to perform the upanayana saṁskāra over again. (Kane, 1941 : Vol . II, Part 1, 16) Āraṭṭa is singularly looked down upon by the Vedic texts like Baudhāyana Dharma Sūtra (18.13, 44), which refers to it as the ‘immoral region of the northwest comprising of Sindh, Gandhara and the western Punjab’. (Parpola, 2015: The Roots of Hinduism - The Early Aryans and the Indus Civilization, 216) According to the Dharmasutra of Sankha-Likhita (300 BCE – 100 BCE) ‘spotless spiritual pre-eminence is to be found only in the country to the east of the countries of Sindhu and Sauvira’. (Kane, 1941 : Vol . II, Part 1, 14) Why did the ārya disown and denounce the Sarasvatī fed region of Surāśtra, Aparānta, Āraṭṭa, Punjāb, Sindhu and Sauvira, their cradle ?

description: In order to enhance oral bioavailability and liver targeting delivery of silybin, two amphiphilic hyaluronic acid derivatives, hyaluronic acid-deoxycholic acid (HA-adh-DOCA) and hyaluronic acid-glycyrrhetinic acid (HA-adh-GA) conjugates, were designed and synthesized. Silybin was successfully loaded in HA-adh-DOCA and HA-adh-GA micelles with high drug-loading capacities (20.3% ± 0.5% and 20.6% ± 0.6%, respectively). The silybin-loaded micelles were spherical in shape with the average size around 130 nm. In vitro release study showed that two silybin-loaded micelles displayed similar steady continued-release pattern in simulated gastrointestinal fluids and PBS. Single-pass intestinal perfusion studies indicated that silybin-loaded micelles were absorbed in the whole intestine and transported via a passive diffusion mechanism. Compared with suspension formulation, silybin-loaded HA-adh-DOCA and HA-adh-GA micelles achieved significantly higher AUC and Cmax level. Moreover, liver targeting drug delivery of micelles was confirmed by in vivo imaging analysis. In comparison between the two micellar formulations, HA-adh-GA micelles possessed higher targeting capacity than HA-adh-DOCA micelles, owing to the active hepatic targeting properties of glycyrrhetinic acid. In the treatment of acute liver injury induced by CCl4, silybin-loaded HA-adh-GA micelles displayed better effects over suspension control and silybin-loaded HA-adh-DOCA micelles. Overall, pharmaceutical and pharmacological indicators suggested that the HA-adh-GA conjugates can be successfully utilized for liver targeting of orally administered therapeutics.

description: Das Musikleben in den Residenzen Hohenlimburg und Rheda unter Graf Moritz Casimir I. von Bentheim-Tecklenburg (1701-1768) wurde maßgeblich von Johann Martin Doemming (geb. 1703 in Milz/Thüringen, gest. um 1760) geprägt. Über die musikalische Ausbildung des Verwaltungsangestellten Doemming ist nichts bekannt, jedoch muss sie so fundiert gewesen sein, dass er 1731 zum "Directore musices" bestellt wurde. Doemming hat zahlreiche Kompositionen für den Gebrauch der Hofmusik hinterlassen, insbesondere konzertante Musik für Bläser, Streicher und Basso continuo. Unter seiner Leitung wurde 1750 ein thematischer "Catalogus musicus" angelegt, der das Repertoire der Hofkapelle während der Regierungszeit von Moritz Casimir I. widerspiegelt. Die erhaltenen Werke von Johann Martin Doemming sind - vielfach als Autograph - ausschließlich in der Fürstlich zu Bentheim-Tecklenburgischen Musikbibliothek Rheda überliefert.

description: The divergence between the sacrificial ritualism of the brāmhaṇa and the doctrine of ahiṁsā espoused by the kshatriya, seems to have been very old. As eventually Āryavarta came to span the entire Indo-Gangetic plain, from ‘sea to sea’ as Manusmṛti proclaims, a stark contrast emerged between the brāmhaṇa culture of Kuru-Pañcāla and the kshatriya culture of Videha and Magadha. Śatapatha Brāmhaṇa advises the Kuru-Pañcāla brāmhaṇa not to venture into the pracya (eastern) countries as the ārya there have forgotten their dharma of sacrifice enjoined in the sacred texts and have adopted a new dharma against sacrifice. (Chakravarti, 1974 : Jaina Literature in Tamil, 4) By the time of Upaniṣads, the differences crystallised into two distinct schools of thought within the Indo-Gangetic Plain : sacrificial ritualism of Kuru-Pañcāla ārya led by the brāmhaṇa, and the ātmavidyā of pracya ārya led by the kshatriya, which included King Janaka and Yājñavalkya. (Chakravarti, 1974 : 6)

description: Objective:Evidences demonstrate that postoperative residual neuromuscular blockade (rNMB) is a primary and frequent anesthetic risk factor for postoperative complications. This study was designed to mitigate the paucity of data regarding the occurrence and degree of rNMB in a real-life setting.Methods:This prospective, multicenter, anesthetist-blind, observational study enrolled 1571 Chinese adults undergoing elective open or laparoscopic abdominal surgery lasting ≤4 hours from 32 hospitals across China. The patients received anesthesia in accordance with routine practice at the study site. Neuromuscular blockade (NMB) was monitored using acceleromyography, with rNMB defined as a train-of-four (TOF) ratio <0.9.Results:The patients’ mean age was 46 years and 71% were female. The procedures included laparoscopic (67%), open abdominal (31%), and laparoscopic to open abdominal (2%). NMB was reversed with neostigmine in 78% of patients. The overall incidence of rNMB at extubation was 57.8%, and the proportions of participant with TOF ratios <0.6, 0.6–0.7, 0.7–0.8, 0.8–0.9 were 22.9%, 6.9%, 11.1% and 16.9%, respectively, immediately prior to endotracheal extubation. Age <45 years (OR = 0.630, 95% CI = 0.496–0.801, p = 0.002), use of one neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) (OR = 0.387, 95% CI = 0.243–0.618, p < 0.0001), time from neostigmine administration to endotracheal extubation ≥10 min (OR = 0.513, 95% CI = 0.400–0.658, p < 0.0001) and time from last NMBA administration to endotracheal extubation ≥60 min (OR = 0.902, 95% CI = 0.801–0.989, p = 0411) were correlated with non-rNMB at the time of extubation.Conclusions:This observational study demonstrated that the overall incidence of rNMB at the time of endotracheal extubation was high in Chinese patients undergoing abdominal procedures, which necessitates appropriate management in current real-life practice.Clinical trial registry number:NCT01871064.
Kōnkaṇ The Jigsaw Puzzle

description: This middle country extended from the sea to sea; its western flank consisted of  Kōnkaṇ in the north and Karnātā or Kānnadā in the south; the eastern flank between Odiṣā and Tāmiḷākam was occupied by the Teḷugu country. Though broken up into a multitude of communal settlements, this region was fairly homogeneous ecologically and culturally. A vast savannah intergraded into a deciduous forest, with a tropical evergreen fringe on the west, was its distinguishing characteristic. Some have considered Deccan a collection of ‘tribal principalities’; but that term seems to be too ambiguous, for even the four Tamil kingdoms of Chera, Ay, Pandya and the Chola have been referred to as such. (Kulke and Rothermund, 1986 : A History of India, 104). Deccan definitely presented a different civilisational paradigm in comparison with its northern and southern neighbours; it was a land of simple, unsophisticated farmers and animal herders, eking out their living from what the mother earth offered them – which was not much, given the fact that the region was not endowed with any fertile alluvial plains; and the rains failed every few years. These people grew crops like black-gram (uḷīda/ullid/उळीद), green-gram (mūṁga/mung/मूंग), horse-gram (kuḷīta/kullit/कुळीत), hyacinth bean (vāla/val/वाल), lentil (masūra/masur/मसूर), grass-pea (vāṭāṇôṁ /vattannom/वाटाणॉं), finger millet (nācaṇī/nachnni/नाचणी) and vari rice (varīcā tāṁdūḷa / varicha tandull/वरीचा तांदूळ); wheat and barley were perhaps added later; no trace of rice cultivation, however, has been found. They reared cattle, goats and sheep – and where possible, water buffaloes. (Dutta, 2006 : A Critical Review of the Economy of the Chalcolithic People of Inamgaon, 128)

description: Our search for roots, and therefore this series, will run on three parallel tracks - the people, their land and their language. We begin very far from this thin sliver of coast that we call Konkan today; for Konkan has ebbed and flooded. And the Konkanis have flowed over the mega continent. We seek their roots in the icy torrents of Sarasvatī as it hurtled down the mountains through its seven tributaries, withering the Himalayan rocks to fertilise its plains; and we seek their roots in the land made holy by the feet of Mahavira and Buddha, on the banks of Ganga and Brahmaputra, as they crafted their red and black pottery and wrought iron tools; and we seek their roots in the dense forests of Dandakaranya. We follow them in their times of distress as the droughts drove them across mountains and through forests, sailing over seas and fording rivers in spate, continually seeking new lands for livelihood. We shall be witness to their wars, and mourn over their dead. We shall listen to their songs of joy and their lamentations of despair; and these shall become our records of history. There is one unitary message that rings loud and clear through the ancestry of contemporary Konkanis : that we are all children of what in current parlance would be called ‘refugees’, fleeing from difficult times; ‘hard pressed by debts and taxes, forsaking their land and renouncing their king, and fleeing with household utensils and cattle’, as Ignacio Arcamone put it in his 1664 letter to his superiors in Rome.

description: 1. Fructus psoraleae (FP) is the dried ripe seeds of Psoralea corylifolia L. (Fabaceae) widely used in Asia, and has been reported to exert important biochemical and pharmacological activities. The adverse effects of FP remain unclear. The present study aims to determine the inhibition of human carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) by FP’s major ingredients, including neobavaisoflavone, corylifolinin, coryfolin, psoralidin, corylin and bavachinin. 2. The probe substrate of CES1 2-(2-benzoyl-3-methoxyphenyl) benzothiazole (BMBT) was derived from 2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HMBT), and human liver microsomes (HLMs)-catalyzed BMBT metabolism was used to phenotype the activity of CES1. In silico docking method was employed to explain the inhibition mechanism. 3. All the tested compounds exerted strong inhibition towards the activity of CES1 in a concentration-dependent behavior. Furthermore, the inhibition kinetics was determined for the inhibition of neobavaisoflavone, corylifolinin, coryfolin, corylin and bavachinin towards CES1. Both Dixon and Lineweaver–Burk plots showed that neobavaisoflavone, corylifolinin, coryfolin and corylin noncompetitively inhibited the activity of CES1, and bavachinin competitively inhibited the activity of CES1. The inhibition kinetic parameters (Ki) were calculated to be 5.3, 9.4, 1.9, 0.7 and 0.5 μM for neobavaisoflavone, corylifolinin, coryfolin, corylin and bavachinin, respectively. In conclusion, the inhibition behavior of CES1 by the FP’s constituents was given in this article, indicating the possible adverse effects of FP through the disrupting CES1-catalyzed metabolism of endogenous substances and xenobiotics.

description: 1. Fructus psoraleae (FP) is the dried ripe seeds of Psoralea corylifolia L. (Fabaceae) widely used in Asia, and has been reported to exert important biochemical and pharmacological activities. The adverse effects of FP remain unclear. The present study aims to determine the inhibition of human carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) by FP’s major ingredients, including neobavaisoflavone, corylifolinin, coryfolin, psoralidin, corylin and bavachinin.2. The probe substrate of CES1 2-(2-benzoyl-3-methoxyphenyl) benzothiazole (BMBT) was derived from 2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HMBT), and human liver microsomes (HLMs)-catalyzed BMBT metabolism was used to phenotype the activity of CES1. In silico docking method was employed to explain the inhibition mechanism.3. All the tested compounds exerted strong inhibition towards the activity of CES1 in a concentration-dependent behavior. Furthermore, the inhibition kinetics was determined for the inhibition of neobavaisoflavone, corylifolinin, coryfolin, corylin and bavachinin towards CES1. Both Dixon and Lineweaver–Burk plots showed that neobavaisoflavone, corylifolinin, coryfolin and corylin noncompetitively inhibited the activity of CES1, and bavachinin competitively inhibited the activity of CES1. The inhibition kinetic parameters (Ki) were calculated to be 5.3, 9.4, 1.9, 0.7 and 0.5 μM for neobavaisoflavone, corylifolinin, coryfolin, corylin and bavachinin, respectively. In conclusion, the inhibition behavior of CES1 by the FP’s constituents was given in this article, indicating the possible adverse effects of FP through the disrupting CES1-catalyzed metabolism of endogenous substances and xenobiotics.

description: But the vadavar territory was separated from Tamilakam by a land inhabited by another people that the Tamil called vadukar. This is probably the territory that the Mysore Gazeteer talks about as the “land covered with one mighty and all-embracing forest … inhabited by aboriginal races or the descendants of primeval immigrants.” (Rice, 1897 : Mysore, 271) Incidentally, vadukar too means northeners, and is analogous to the modern Kannada word badaga. Tamil literature describes vadukar as robbers by profession habitually engaged in cattle-lifting. The chieftain Erumai of Kudanadu (Kodagu or Coorg) is referred to as a vadukar; the corresponding chieftain on the eastern side with his capital at Tirupati was also possibly a vadukar by name Pulli who is described as the ‘chieftain of robbers’, kallvarkoman. According to one poet vadukar kept cruel dogs; another Sangam poet refers to the sacrifices that these people offered in thanksgiving for the capture of herds of cattle. (Aiyangar, 1923 : 3)

description: The divergence between the sacrificial ritualism of the brāmhaṇa and the doctrine of ahiṁsā espoused by the kshatriya, seems to have been very old. As eventually Āryavarta came to span the entire Indo-Gangetic plain, from ‘sea to sea’ as Manusmṛti proclaims, a stark contrast emerged between the brāmhaṇa culture of Kuru-Pañcāla and the kshatriya culture of Videha and Magadha. Śatapatha Brāmhaṇa advises the Kuru-Pañcāla brāmhaṇa not to venture into the pracya (eastern) countries as the ārya there have forgotten their dharma of sacrifice enjoined in the sacred texts and have adopted a new dharma against sacrifice. (Chakravarti, 1974 : Jaina Literature in Tamil, 4) By the time of Upaniṣads, the differences crystallised into two distinct schools of thought within the Indo-Gangetic Plain : sacrificial ritualism of Kuru-Pañcāla ārya led by the brāmhaṇa, and the ātmavidyā of pracya ārya led by the kshatriya, which included King Janaka and Yājñavalkya. (Chakravarti, 1974 : 6)

description: This thesis develops three conceptual frameworks to investigate hydrological connectivity in river-floodplain wetlands. The first framework establishes a method to examine temporal and spatial connectivity, using remote sensing data and a hydraulic model. A novel connectivity metric named the dynamic connection length was proposed. The second framework examines different machine learning methods to estimate flood extents for the connectivity analysis. In the third framework, various empirical relationships between connectivity statistics are evaluated. The outcomes from the thesis are expected to lead to a better understanding of hydrological connectivity in floodplain wetlands.

description: There is more contemporary evidence of the fact that Konkani region extended beyond the Sahyadri and included inter alia Tinai, Supa, Digi, Ullvi, Barchi, Kumbharwada and Halyal Talukas of the current Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka. The community of velips is spread seamlessly over an area stretching from Canacona, Sanguem and Kepem Talukas of Goa to the above Talukas of Karnataka. In Karnataka they are called Kōnkaṇa- Kuṇbi or Kaḷe (dark) Kuṇbi; they all speak Konkani and have strong family ties with the velips in Goa. (Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency, Vol. XV, Part I, 1883 : 216-20.) Geographically, the region described above is contiguous to the hinterland of Banavasi; in fact it forms a single eco-zone consisting of the Kali Nadi Basin Forests and its periphery; and is consistent with Hwen Thsang’s reference to “a great forest which is infested with savage animals and desert” and Al-Beruni’s reference to an animal called sharava larger than a ganda. The evidence in favour of a trans-Sahyadri Konkan is overwhelming. Probably that was the only Konkan once upon a time, before the regression of the sea created the coastal plains. Therein lies hidden the secret of Konkani; why it may not be exactly a Middle Indo-Aryan language.

description: Among the Christian Goans there is a community popularly called the chadd’ddi or chardde (I am deliberately using the word ‘community’ not ‘caste’). In Salcete it formed the majority of the population in my childhood; I do not know how dominant it was in the rest of Goa. Even more interesting was the fact that no village in Salcete had both brahman and chadd’ddi. So that when people wanted to know which community one belonged to, they simply asked for the village ! That happened usually while looking out for a suitable bride or groom, given the fact that these were then more or less endogamous communities. This seems to have been the situation for long. Ignacio Arcamone, a Jesuit priest in Salcete in mid-seventeenth century, reporting to his superiors in Rome about what he called the Sasatana Peninsula, counted as many as forty-four villages being populated by chadd’ddi : Dividing the whole land of the peninsula into sixty six territories, he wrote, two territories were left to the primitive settlers (kunnbis or gavddis ?); fifteen went to the brahman, forty four to the kshatrya and five to other servants or adjutants, probably meaning the shudra. (Fernandes, 1981: Uma Descrição e Relação de ‘De Sasatana Peninsula in Indiae Statu’ Textus Inediti, 94)

description: But further i went, more difficult it became. For new facts emerged, that raised new questions. For instance, why do old Marathi inscriptions and Dnyaneshwar’s ovis sound so familiar to Salcete Konkanis ? Or, why, among all the so called Middle Indo-Aryan languages, does Salcete Konkani preserve some sounds unique to Tamil ? Why do we find Chadd’ddi only among Goan Christians ? What is the difference between kunnbi and gavddi ? Are Aparant and Konkan the same ? Was there no literature in Konkani before the advent of the Portuguese in India ? If yes, did it all get burnt in the ‘primeiro fogo da conquista’, as Cunha Rivara puts it ?

description: In the present work, physicochemical properties, such as density (ρ), refractive index (nD) and viscosity(η), for six binary systems containing [Cnmim]Cl (Cnmim = 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium; n = 6, 8) and three dipolar aprotic solvents {NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone), DMI (1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone) and DMPU (1,3-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone)} were measured at wide composition ranges and temperatures from T = 288.15 to 333.15 K at atmosphere pressure. Moreover, derived properties, such as excess molar volumes (VmE), apparent molar volumes (Vϕ,i), deviations in refractive index (▵nD) and isobaric thermal expansivity coefficients (αP) were calculated. The Redlich-Kister polynomial equation was fitted to the excess molar volumes and the deviation in refractive index data. The experimental results in this work allow us to discuss the interactions in the mixtures. The physicochemical properties of such systems may be useful for applications of imidazolium-based ionic liquids in the field of chemical engineering.
