Effective Ayurvedic Treatment of Pilonidal Sinus using Udumber Ksheer Sutra: A Case Study

ABSTRACT Pilonidal sinus, also known as “jeep bottom,” is common among people who sit a lot, such as cab drivers. It mostly affects men and young adults and is associated with thick hair. Surgical techniques are available for treatment, but the condition has a relatively high recurrence rate. The Kshara Sutra method described in the Sushruta Samhita offers a minimally invasive treatment option. Pilonidal disease is estimated to affect about 26 out of every 100,000 persons, with around 0.7% of people affected. This study focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have Naadi Vrana (Pilonidal Sinus) using Udumber Ksheer Sutra. The Kshara Sutra is a minimally invasive, cost-effective technique with a low recurrence rate for treating pilonidal sinus. Udumber Ksheer Sutra management has also proven to be beneficial as a curative therapy for the pilonidal sinus.

COVID-19 and economic preferences: Evidence from a panel of cab drivers

This paper studies the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on risk and time preferences. Using a longitudinal dataset from a survey of cab drivers in Lima (Peru), we document a significant increase in risk tolerance and patience. The changes are heterogeneous and monotonic by age: older cohorts become more risk-taking while younger ones become more patient. Our findings suggest that the pandemic could have affected individuals’ behavior and socioeconomic outcomes via another channel, namely, changes in economic preferences.

A Study on the Perception and Awareness of Nutritional Requirements in Cab Drivers

Cabs are a vital part of urban transportation, facilitating mobility within cities, connecting people to their destinations, and contributing to the urban fabric. This study aims to explore the perception and awareness of nutritional requirements among cab drivers, a demographic often overlooked in discussions surrounding health and well-being. The study will involve data collection from 50 drivers operating in urban areas, with considerations for factors such as age, gender, years of experience, and working hours. Moreover, this research would highlight the broader societal implications of improving the nutritional health and overall wellbeing of the cab driver population, emphasizing the potential ripple effects on individual health outcomes, workplace productivity, and overall community health. In essence, this research serves as a call to action for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and community stakeholders to prioritize the nutritional needs and implement targeted interventions that empower them to make healthier choices.

Work environment adversity and non-communicable Disease risk among drivers working for application-based-cab-aggregators in an Indian metropolis

BackgroundBengaluru, a metropolis in Southern India, is one of the largest markets for cab aggregator companies. Drivers working for these companies play a vital role in urban transportation but unlike other drivers, their work pattern is stressful, which could increase their proneness to NCD risk factors. Understanding associations between work environment adversity and NCD risk factors among these drivers will help to plan specific health promotion and NCD prevention programs including provision of basic occupational health services.ObjectivesThe study aims to test for an association between work environment adversity and selected Non-communicable Disease (NCD) risk factors among Application Cab Aggregator drivers in Bengaluru city and to estimate the prevalence of selected NCD risk factors among the ABCA drivers.MethodologyThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Bengaluru city among 340 eligible and consenting ABCA drivers with at least one-year experience. Drivers were recruited through a multi-stage sampling procedure and time-period sampling, from transportation and leisure zones in the city. Data was collected through interviews using specifically developed semi-structured tools to assess work environment adversity and NCD risk factors. Prevalence of NCD risk factors is presented per 100 drivers with 95% confidence intervals. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to quantify the strength of the association between work environment adversity categories and NCD risk factors. Ethical clearance was obtained from the NIMHANS Ethics Committee.ResultsNearly 97% of the 340 drivers reported having one or more NCD risk factors. Working more than 5 days a week, more than 7 + hours a day, staying away from family, and working night shifts were closely associated with higher risk for NCD risk factors among ABCA drivers. Drivers with work environment adversity scores between 5 and 10 were associated with higher odds of Physical Inactivity (OR = 3.1), Unhealthy diets (OR = 1.62), and Tobacco Use (OR = 3.06).ConclusionThe study highlights the association between work environment adversity and NCD risk factors and indicates a dire need for NCD prevention programs, basic occupational health services, and social security provisions for ABCA cab drivers.

Nietzschean Themes in Béla Tarr's The Turin Horse

Béla Tarr's last feature film The Turin Horse (2011) begins with a prologue that narrates Friedrich Nietzsche's mental breakdown in Turin in 1889, which was allegedly prompted by his witnessing a cab driver brutally whipping his horse. Nietzsche's name is not mentioned again in the film, and the viewer is left wondering what connection, if any, exists between the Nietzsche story and the film's narrative. Scholars often refer to one or another aspect of Nietzsche's philosophy when analysing Tarr's film. Yet, to date, no comprehensive study has been devoted to exploring the connection between The Turin Horse and Nietzsche's philosophy. This article seeks to fill this gap in the literature. The first section examines the connection between the prologue and the film. In the second section, attention is given to the most evident connection between Tarr's film and Nietzsche's philosophy, namely the use of circularity and repetition in The Turin Horse and Nietzsche's idea of the eternal recurrence of the same. The third section interprets the neighbour's monologue in light of Nietzsche's death of God. Finally, the fourth section is devoted to nihilism.

Airport Cab Drivers' Passenger Carrying Strategy Selection Based on Mathematically Derived Theoretical Models

Cab is an important way for passengers to choose to go to the city in the airport. Cab drivers will send customers to the airport. There are two options to carry passengers, choosing to return to the city to carry passengers or entering the pool at the airport to wait for passengers. How the cab driver to decide to rely on the pool waiting time, the airport of a single day by the time of day the flow of passengers, downtown to the airport in the time required, and other factors. To compare the two options and analyze the influencing factors, this paper establishes a theoretical model of mathematical derivation to find out the scope of application of the two types of options, and to establish a decision-making model for cab drivers to choose. Then, using specific airport data, MATLAB is used to fit the curve to the collected data, and the decision value is calculated by applying integrative science to get the cab's time from the city to the airport, to arrive at the decision-making scheme. Finally, the dependency of the relevant factors is analyzed and the effect of different times of day, season, and fuel cost government-related policies on the revenue coefficient is considered using gray correlation analysis.

The Taxi Problem at The Airport

This thesis aims to propose an optimization and improvement plan for the cab problem in airports. In this paper, under the premise of driver's revenue as the core element, combining the number of passengers waiting in line, the number of vehicles in line in the storage pool, the distance back to the city and other influencing factors, two scenarios of waiting in line to pick up passengers and returning empty to haul passengers are hypothesized, with gaining revenue over paying cost as the final measure. This problem sets up two decision scenarios as a way to build a decision model for cab driver selection. To collect the relevant data of a domestic airport and its city cabs, in order to ensure the rationality and reliable reference value of the data, Nanjing Lukou Airport is selected as the research object after a lot of data collection, and the relevant data provided by the public information of the website and the very accurate APP are used to study the flight information on July 13, 2022. For Nanjing Lukou Airport, the change of airport traffic in different time periods is relatively large, so according to the relevant data obtained, the benefits of different schemes are considered comprehensively, and the model established in Problem 1 is solved to obtain the benefits of Scheme A and B at different moments of the day, so as to give six time periods of the driver's decision scheme.

Comparative techno-economic assessment of electric vehicle charging preferences: A quantitative study for sustainable EV policy in Pakistan

Sustainable induction of Electric vehicles (EV) adoption in developing countries requires a comprehensive policy and planning. Among several challenges, one of the biggest challenges is a sustainable charging station infrastructure integration to the existing weak distribution power network. Based on technological advancements, EV owners enjoy better milage in one charge. This has given a liberty to charge EVs as per the desire of user. There are two kinds of charging preferences, one is home charging and the other is fast charging. Both charging choices have distinct economic and technical aspects that need to be quantified in line with the available power infrastructure so as to develop a policy regulation. This study aims to quantitatively assess home charging, level 3 fast charging and their techno-economic aspects using social demographics of car owners. To analyze the demographics of local vehicle mobility practices in Pakistan, a comprehensive survey comprising online questionnaire was conducted. >100 car owners were surveyed about their daily driving practices to understand the driving distances and their preference of charging vehicles. The driving owners from distinct occupations ranging from cab drivers, job holders and businessmen participated in the survey. The survey facilitated to identify the demographics of the car owners which helped in conducting simulations and quantification analysis. Monte Carlo simulation was used for 1000 cars samples to estimate the level 1 and level 3 charging profiles in Python. In second step, HOMER Grid software was used to economically assess the impact of home charging and fast charging. It was revealed that charging choices have significant impact on the daily load profile of EVs. While having home charging, 59.9 % higher units are purchased from the grid. Whereas 65.5 NPC is increased for the project. On the other hand, the daily profile of preferred home charging is 61.4 % higher compared to the fast charging due to much concentrated charging impact during the limited time of the day. Results highlighted that Solar PV plays an important role for fast and home charging. Without solar PV charging stations will consume 60 % more grid units and 58 % higher Net present cost. The study concludes with a set of policy recommendations that must be taken into account to support the weak grid and lessen the EV charging impact on main utility.

PANCHAKARMA THERAPY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO MANJISTADHI KSHARA BASTI IN “1A-3N KALA-BASTI PATTERN” IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT): A CASE STUDY

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the third most common vascular disease, after ischemic heart disease (IHD) and Stroke and it is a silent killer. It affects approximately 0.1% of total population per year. Various treatment mo-dalities and drugs of Western medicine such as Surgical interventions, Urokinase, Streptokinase or Tissue plas-minogen activators to dissolve the blood clots have their own limitations and side effects apart from being ex-pensive. The present case study deals with a 39-year-old male, cab driver by profession, who is used to long distance travel in car on daily basis and is obese in built, habituated to smoking 4-5 cigarettes a day, since 10-12 yrs., gradually developed pain and swelling of Right lower limb since 2months. On evaluation, Doppler Ultra-sonography of Right lower limb revealed Deep vein thrombosis of Right femoral vein (Upper and mid 1/3rd) & long Sephanous vein (proximal 1/3rd). In Ayurveda, based on the Clinical picture and signs and symptoms, the condition can be correlated to “Kapha-Medavrutha Vataraktha”. This case study is about management of DVT with multi-modality treatment in the form of Panchakarma procedures such as Jaloukavacharana, Kashaya dhara, Alepana, Udwartana, Manjistadhi Kshara vasti along with oral medications. Treatment has shown re-markable result especially in reduction of symptoms such as swelling, pain and heaviness. Assessment was done on the basis of clinical examination, signs and symptoms before and after the treatment.

Untapped potential of commercial drivers in providing post-crash care to road traffic accident victims: A cross-sectional study from fast urbanizing city of Jodhpur, India.

Most road traffic accident (RTA) deaths occur before victim reaches a definitive trauma care facility. The aim of the study was to determine the role of commercial drivers toward providing post-crash care to RTA victims in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. This cross-sectional study assessed the role of commercial auto-rickshaw and cab drivers for providing post-crash care in urban Jodhpur during 2019-2020. Eligible participants volunteering for the study were included from taxi and auto stands in urban Jodhpur. A pre-tested questionnaire was administered by a trained interviewer. Data analysis was done using SPSS v23.0. Summary measures in terms of frequencies, means, and range are reported. Chi-square test, Fisher's Exact test, and Multivariate Logistic Regression analysis were done for statistical associations. Two hundred male participants completed the study with a mean age of 37.74 (8.96) years having an average work experience as commercial drivers of more than 10 years. Over 70% of participants witnessed RTA in the past year and 52% provided care to victims. The knowledge of post-crash care was most affected by their education level (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.778, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.958, 3.301), whereas the intended post-crash care practices were significantly better among participants with previous training (aOR: 15.376, 95% CI: 2.149, 110.017). The current study establishes the role of commercial drivers as first responders at accident sites in the fast urbanizing city of Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Systematic capacity building initiatives of commercial drivers to salvage RTA victims have potential to strengthen pre-hospital trauma care continuum in non-metro districts of India experiencing high burden of accidents.

College Bus Tracking System

Abstract: Our project aim is to design a system that will automate the college transport fare collection process using GPS contactless smartcard technologies as well as provide industrial IOT facilities to knows present location of the college vehicle and the arrival time at the particular bus stop. The system keep tracking of each passenger will be able to know the current balance in his smartcard amount and can recharge it when needed. The present generation requires the information time to time. The use of technology has been increasing day by day. So, we are planning for the combination of present technology with the requirements of information transmission, we planned for the creative approach “ Vehicle Tracking System Using GPS and GSM”. To overcome the drawback of the previous method of a Project based and we introduced a project to track a vehicle using GPS and GSM. Vehicle tracking system can also be used for accident detection alert system. The tracking system and many more by just make few changes in hardware and software and widely in tracking cab/taxi, stolen vehicles, school/college buses etc. Student safety is a primary in our society. Increased rate of children abduction signify the relevance of a proper mechanism to track children. The current system involves parents calling the cab driver to ensure student has boarded the bus and to know the current location. There us always an element of uncertainty regarding student whereabouts. Proposed system involves a low-cost solution by allowing parents to track child location via a mobile application. The system involves allotment of a unique identification for each student using RFID (Radio Frequency based identification system). Live tracking of the bus is enabled using GPS (Global Positioning System).

Rethinking Mutual Aid Through the Lens of Social Reproduction: How Platform Drivers Ride Out Work and Life in Bengaluru, India

This paper presents an ethnographic account of the support and mutual aid mechanisms evolved by members of an app-based cab drivers union in Karnataka during the recurrent ‘waves’ of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also describes the app-based-driver-led infrastructures of support that were in place during ‘normal’ times, even before the pandemic. The paper deploys ethnographic methods and a feminist political economy lens to analyse the workings of platform capital and its processes of value extraction. While previous scholarship has presented platform workers’ everyday acts of mutual support as ‘resilience’ or as indicative of the ‘embeddedness’ of labour, this paper adopts an analytical lens drawing from Marxist and socialist feminist scholarship on social reproduction. I draw attention to the ‘productive’ work that everyday practices of support and mutual aid do for ‘technology platforms’ like Uber and Ola, and illustrate the mutual dependence and relation between the (capitalistically) ‘productive’ sphere and the reproductive sphere of life-making, and the heightened crisis of the latter engendered by newer modes of production. This paper reveals the gamut of unpaid and invisible labours which workers expend on an everyday basis and from which platform businesses extract value. It contributes to emergent scholarship on platform work and social reproduction feminism by pointing to spaces outside the home and institutions other than the family in providing reproductive labour that is generative of value for (platform) capital.

Bracing up for financial inclusivity: the CabDost way

Learning outcomes The learning outcomes of this study are as follows: 1. understand the role of financial inclusivity in the sustainable development of a nation; 2. examine the concept of social entrepreneurship and identify the skills needed to be a social entrepreneur; 3. analyze the opportunities and challenges faced by social entrepreneurs, especially in an emerging economy; and 4. assess the feasible options with respect to upscaling and expansion. Case overview/synopsis Yamuna Sastry, a young woman from a traditional Indian family, had set out to achieve her dream of financial inclusivity by helping the underprivileged in her country gain financial independence and credibility. When she was approached by a cab driver to file tax returns for him, a new venture took shape in her mind, and along with a partner, CabDost, a socially driven financial advisory start-up was created to provide financial advisory services exclusively for cab drivers. CabDost had been instrumental in making over 15,000 cab drivers financially literate, instilling in them a culture of compliance, getting them tax refunds and enabling the Indian Government recover eight crores in taxes. The success of financial inclusivity among cab drivers inspired CabDost to extend its financial services to truck drivers, auto drivers, housekeeping staff and other contractual workforce. The company found it challenging to address the demands of the increasing customer base with its available technical resources. The absence of an in-house tech team and the need for an all-in-one tech platform to provide a wide variety of financial services induced CabDost to explore other options. Dvara Money, a neo bank offering financial services, approached CabDost with a merger proposal. Though it was a lucrative offer, the founding members were apprehensive as they knew that most of the mergers failed because of myriad reasons. They were contemplating on their next move as they were in a dilemma about whether to develop a technical team in-house or to go ahead with the merger. Complexity academic level The case can be taught to business management students as a part of the introductory course on entrepreneurship or social entrepreneurship. The case can be used specifically to make the students understand the role of financial inclusivity in the sustainable development of a nation, the concept of social entrepreneurship, the journey of social entrepreneurs in the financial inclusivity space, right from ideation to execution, the challenges faced in the bargain, survival mechanisms adopted and the various options available for further growth and expansion.

Waterloo Sunrise: London from the Sixties to Thatcher, by John Davis

The London of the 1950s was a city the late Victorians would have recognised. By the 1970s, John Davis writes in his idiosyncratic and wide-ranging history of post-war London, the city’s driving economic, social and cultural forces had shifted in ways that would have confounded a Victorian observer. Davis examines this process of urban transformation in sixteen chapters that cover, among other things, the life and death of ‘the Sixties’, changing patterns in home ownership, the rise of the conservation movement, and the Notting Hill riots. Ultimately, he argues, these changes laid the groundwork for a political environment in which the ideology of Thatcherism could take root. In lieu of an introduction, Chapter One examines how the capital’s increasingly visible youth culture and a trend-hungry media converged to create ‘Swinging London’, a public relations exercise that nonetheless captured the city’s post-war optimism. So why did the party end? Davis highlights the obvious factors, notably deindustrialisation and the erosion of manufacturing jobs, paired with economic headwinds after the Wilson government’s deflationary measures in 1966–7. But the book also identifies a growing, if inchoate, resistance to the paternalism of the Beveridge welfare state. Chapters Six and Seven detail the backlash against urban modernism, as expressed in protests against motorway construction and a renewed impulse to conserve the Victorian cityscape. Chapters Nine, Ten, and Twelve chart the emergence of new, oppositional identities among groups as varied as East End cab drivers, suburban home-owners, and Black British youth. Chapters Eight, Thirteen, and Fourteen sketch the reorientation of municipal politics, from the demise of the consensus around the East End’s subsidised post-war prosperity to the emergence of grass-roots voluntary action groups that sought to redefine the imperatives of the welfare state, to the breakdown of local Labour Party hierarchies in the 1960s and 1970s.

The influence of COVID-19 pandemic and coping strategies on work operation of nonfarm household enterprises in Nigeria.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how COVID-19 pandemic including some coping strategies such as hand wash with soap and food consumption influences work operation or performance of nonfarm household enterprises (NHEs) in Nigeria using 2020 Living Standard Measurement Survey data of 1728 sample size. This study departs from existing study in two ways: first, the study employs multinomial logistic regression technique to ascertain the determinants of work performance of nonfarm household enterprises in Nigeria. Second, the study focuses on nonfarm enterprises such as petty trade, road side automobile and cab drivers. The results show that COVID-19 pandemic is significant with negative influence on the work operation of NHEs in Nigeria. The result of the study also reveals that coping strategy such as hand wash with soap during the pandemic is an important driver of work performance or operation of NHEs in Nigeria. Another coping strategy like food consumption by nonfarm household enterprises shows insignificant influence on work operation which implies that there is no relationship between food consumption and work operation by NHEs in Nigeria. The policy recommendation of this study, among others, is that policies should focus on procurement of sanitary material for public use. This can be achieved through public sensitisation in terms of organising workshops and conferences.

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE IN WOMEN’S LABOR RELATIONS IN MEXICO

The economic crisis caused by the pandemic due to the virus that produces the disease called COVID-19 has caused unemployment to affect people who had some work activity, whether in stores, offices, cab drivers, or official agencies, among others. This global situation caused health authorities to order the closure of workplaces, negatively impacting employment and working conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean, causing a setback of more than a decade in progress achieved in labor participation. Furthermore, it is assumed that inequality and discrimination against women in the economy and the labor context in this confinement stage due to the pandemic generated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus have impacted gender violence against women in Mexico.

The uncertain and unexpected outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the economic status of many businesses worldwide. The paper aims to critically examine the degree of devastation experienced by the Indian gig workers due to the pandemic restriction. The uncertainty and illegal practices of the gig employers and the way the gig workers in India get exploited from time to time due to their unemployment status is critically analysed in this paper. The paper compactly discussed the challenges experienced by the Indian gig workers, especially the Ola and other cab drivers during the very beginning of the lockdown. The way the cab drivers and the entire Indian cab industry have already suffered is included in the report. The present status of the gig workers involved in Ola is also analysed in this paper. The socio-economic issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that affected the survival of the cab drivers in India is illustrated in this paper. The paper also identified the strategies implemented by abroad countries to deal with the uncertain condition of the Indian gig workers. The measures taken by the Indian government to uplift the condition of the Ola drivers is also included in the paper.

Cluster-Based Cab Recommender System (CBCRS) for Solo Cab Drivers

An efficient cluster-based cab recommender system (CBCRS) provides solo cab drivers with recommendations about the next pickup location having high passenger finding potential at the shortest distance. To recommend the cab drivers with the next passenger location, it becomes imperative to cluster the global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of various pick-up locations of the geographic region as that of the cab. Clustering is the unsupervised data science that groups similar objects into a cluster. Therefore, the objectives of the research paper are fourfold: Firstly, the research paper identifies various clustering techniques to cluster GPS coordinates. Secondly, to design and develop an efficient algorithm to cluster GPS coordinates for CBCRS. Thirdly, the research paper evaluates the proposed algorithm using standard datasets over silhouette coefficient and Calinski-Harabasz index. Finally, the paper concludes and analyses the results of the proposed algorithm to find out the most optimal clustering technique for clustering GPS coordinates assisting cab recommender system.

ISTANBUL CAB DRIVERS AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION: A STUDY OF LEGAL CONSCIOUSNESS

For three decades until November 2021, when an additional 1,000 cab licenses were issued, the total number of cab licenses in İstanbul was limited to 17,395. As the total number of cab licenses has not kept pace with İstanbul’s growing population, it has become impossible in the last decade to find an available cab during rush hours. The increasing scarcity of cabs not only turned this issue into an important social and political problem; it also brought many other players into the market, such as pirate cabs and Uber, the ridesharing app. Surprisingly, there is limited scholarly research on İstanbul cab drivers and the sector in general. Based on a research project conducted by undergraduate students in İstanbul during the fall of 2017, this article takes a comparative look at how İstanbul cab drivers engage in dispute resolution. During field work based on 19 semi-structured interviews with cab drivers and participant observation at a cab station, two types of grievances emerged as the most important issues for these drivers: 1) problems at the cab station, especially with the order of dispatching, and 2) encroachment by Uber. While most of the drivers were quite successful in utilizing various dispute resolution mechanisms in dealing with grievances at the cab station, very few of them engaged in mobilization, such as pursuing mechanisms to combat the increasing competition from Uber. We argue in this article that cab drivers are more likely to mobilize in defense of their rights if they believe that they are legitimate and rights-bearing subjects, as they are at the cab station. However, they are less likely to mobilize for their rights if they believe that they are marginalized and disreputable members of society, as in the case of their grievances against Uber. In other words, we argue that rights mobilization depends heavily on a sense of belonging.
