 Abstract

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory musculoskeletal disease with both autoimmune and autoinflammatory features characteristically occurring in individuals with psoriasis. The prevalence of PsA in Indian population was reported in 8.47% cases of Psoriasis. The symptoms residing in the skin and muscles, is Uttana stage/type. On the other hand, when symptoms spread to all the tissues and manifested severe pain in the joints, swelling, having ulcers is the Gambhira Vatarakta which very much resembles to PsA. Even though, the main culprit involved in Vatarakta is Vata and rakta. Dhatus like rasa, mamsa, asthi, and majja are also involved in pathogenesis. The treatment principle focuses on controlling inflammation of affected joints to prevent joint pain and further disability. A 42-year-old female patient visited in rognidan OPD with complaints of pain and swelling in small joints along with skin manifestations like flaky scales and itching over the scalp region, low back, and both lower limbs. The management was done on the basis of following treatment modalities: - Ama pacana, rakta prasadanam, sodhananga snehapanam, virechana, and Rasayana. The assessment was done before and after the treatment by using the PASI score and EULAR criteria. It was observed that there was relief in symptoms and changes in biochemical parameters were also noted. To stabilize the positive response of this treatment, Samana chikitsa and Rasayana were advised as a follow-up for one month.

 Abstract

There is a dynamic relationship between the concept of mental illness, the treatment of the mentally ill and the law. The Courts in India were mainly concerned with determination of competency, dangerousness, diminished responsibility or the welfare of society and most of the earlier legislations were also concerned with these aspects. After the takeover of the administration of India by the British crown in 1858, a large number of laws were enacted in quick succession for controlling the care and treatment of mentally ill persons in British India. These laws were: The Lunacy (Supreme Courts) Act, 1858; The Lunacy (District Courts) Act, 1858; The Indian Lunatic Asylum Act, 1858 (with amendments passed in 1886 and 1889); The Military Lunatic Acts, 1877.These acts serve as a background of lunacy legislations in India. In the light of growing political awareness on lunacy and mental illness the Indian Lunacy Act 1912 was enacted. After the Second World War when the UDHR was adopted by UN General Assembly the Indian Psychiatric Society submitted a draft Mental Health Bill in 1950 to replace the outmoded ILA-1912. Mental Health Act (MHA-87) was finally enacted in 1987 after a long and protracted course which was further replaced by the Mental Healthcare Act 2017. Therefore, through this paper an attempt is made to analyse the various provisions of the enactment and to understand how far this law aligns with the human right to mental healthcare in India.

 Abstract

This study focuses on L2 error analysis and L2 syntactic complexity analysis (L2SCA) of EFL learners. The study employs a cross-sectional approach to investigate the types, frequency, and sources of errors through the analysis of 25 timed-written samples. Error analysis is conducted to categorize errors related to grammar, syntax, vocabulary and mechanics, offering insights into the learners' interlanguage. Complementing error analysis, L2SCA is used to measure syntactic complexity by evaluating various indices related to syntax such as mean length of sentence, clause density, and subordination. Combining error analysis and L2SCA, the current study aims to reveal patterns of syntactic maturity alongside common L2 learner errors which would contribute to a comprehensive understanding of learner proficiency. Moreover, the finding will help inform targeted pedagogical intervention to enhance leaner proficiency.

ABSTRACT AIM: The study aimed to assess the knowledge of diabetic patients on prevention of diabetic foot ulcers with a view to disseminate information through health education in a selected hospital of Delhi. METHOD: A descriptive survey design was used in this study. A total of 50 diabetic patients were selected using non probability convenient sampling technique. Data was allocated using structured knowledge questionnaire composed of two parts. The study was conducted after the permission from the ethical committee and formal administrative support. Descriptive and inferential statistics was used for the data analysis. RESULTS: Data were collected from 50 diabetic patients out of which 39 (78%) had average knowledge, 9 (18%) had good knowledge and the least 2 (4%) diabetic patients had poor knowledge regarding prevention of diabetic foot ulcers and no association was found between the knowledge score of diabetic patients and demographic variables such as age, gender and family history of diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSION: The findings revealed that knowledge about prevention and care of diabetic foot ulcer among diabetic patients was average. Public awareness is needed regarding prevention and care of diabetic foot ulcer. KEYWORDS: Assess, knowledge, prevention, diabetic patient and diabetic foot ulcer

 Abstract

This paper explores the role of HVAC in achieving indoor thermal comfort for occupants. The performance of HVAC systems is measured using the coefficient of performance (COP), which indicates lower energy consumption and higher efficiency. Indoor thermal comfort levels are determined using expected mean vote (PMV) or indoor air quality (IAQ). Building energy flexibility is achieved through changes in HVAC system operation and human thermal comfort. Single-objective optimization aims to lower energy consumption while still providing acceptable occupant comfort, leading to higher comfort but lower efficiency. Multi-objective optimization aims to optimize energy use with minimum occupant complaints, resulting in a balance between energy conservation and human-centric control, resulting in low operational costs and happy occupants. The paper reviews various optimization methods for HVAC systems, including data-driven, physics-based, and grey box models, and discusses the development of Supervisory and Local Level ANN-MPC for HVAC systems in various buildings. The paper concludes by providing an overview of various HVAC system optimization approaches, including ANN-based MPC and optimization research, and their potential energy and cost savings.

 Abstract

Fungi associated with seeds of five cultivars of rice were isolated by agar and blotter paper methods. The fungus was isolated from the contaminated surface of unmilled rice grain and identified based on their typical structure and basic characters as suggested by Barnett and Hunter (1972). Five pathogenic fungi, namely Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium citrinum, Alternaria padwickii and Rhizopus oryzae were isolated and identified from different varieties of rice seeds. The findings suggest that there is a need for proper storage of rice seed to minimize the fungal infestation and their mycotoxin production. This study also reveals that the presence of diverse mycoflora of both pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi in rice seeds in ruling varieties and hybrids in Telangana.
