CRITICAL STUDY OF HYPOTHYROIDISM IN THE LIGHT OF AYURVED PERSPECTIVE

There is no exact correlation between the Thyroid gland and Hypothyroidism in Ayurveda. But the function of the Thyroid gland can be compared with the action of Agni, Tridosha and Dhatus. However, the symptoms of Hypo- thyroidism are correlated with the symptoms of Ama, Ojovyapat, Kaphavritta Udana. If we find the type of dis- ease, then all endocrine disorders are Adhyatmik Vyadhi which is described in Sushrut Samhita. Causative factors of Adhyatmik Vyadhi are perfectly matched with Hypothyroidism in the present era. Ayurveda is one of the oldest and purest forms of treatment available today. Ayurveda always emphasizes that, if you won't find the disease in Samhita/Text, then fit all the symptoms of that disease in its basic principles and then treat it as per Ayurvedic perspective. Now a days, different types of symptoms are seen in different types of people, as Hypothyroidism involves impairment of various systems i.e., strotas. Due to the advancement of technology and instrumentation, it is easier to diagnose Hypothyroidism based on a pathological investigation. But modern management of Hypo- thyroidism is not satisfactory. That's why for safe, effective, and preventive management, find the pathogenesis of disorders according to the Ayurvedic perspective. Keywords: Hypothyroidism, Agni, Tridosha, Dhatu, Ama, Ojovyapat, Kaphavritta Udana.

The Influence of Embodiment as a Cartoon Character on Public Speaking Anxiety

Virtual Reality can be used to embody people in different types of body—so that when they look towards themselves or in a mirror they will see a life-sized virtual body instead of their own, and that moves with their own movements. This will typically give rise to the illusion of body ownership over the virtual body. Previous research has focused on embodiment in humanoid bodies, albeit with various distortions such as an extra limb or asymmetry, or with a body of a different race or gender. Here we show that body ownership also occurs over a virtual body that looks like a cartoon rabbit, at the same level as embodiment as a human. Furthermore, we explore the impact of embodiment on performance as a public speaker in front of a small audience. Forty five participants were recruited who had public speaking anxiety. They were randomly partitioned into three groups of 15, embodied as a Human, as the Cartoon rabbit, or from third person perspective (3PP) with respect to the rabbit. In each condition they gave two talks to a small audience of the same type as their virtual body. Several days later, as a test condition, they returned to give a talk to an audience of human characters embodied as a human. Overall, anxiety reduced the most in the Human condition, the least in the Cartoon condition, and there was no change in the 3PP condition, taking into account existing levels of trait anxiety. We show that embodiment in a cartoon character leads to high levels of body ownership from the first person perspective and synchronous real and virtual body movements. We also show that the embodiment influences outcomes on the public speaking task.

LONG TERM PREDICTION OF RAINFALL IN ANDHRA PRADESH WITH DEEP LEARNING

Rainfall is the major concern for almost types of people in the society. It helps different types of people in the society in different means. For some people, it’s the source of providing drinking water. For others like farmers, it’s the source of their livelihood and for all other human beings too. As farmers grow the farm and rice will be produced for the human being to eat. As a whole, the rainfall plays a key role for almost all kinds of people living in the society. Prediction of this rainfall is always an interesting and useful news for any kind of people in the society. Especially for the government agencies, it’s a very useful source as based on predictions, the harvesting and storing of water could be prepared well in advance. It also plays a key role in the production of power or generation power with the help of water flow in dams and reservoirs. In the article, an attempt has been made to build a system that takes input of previous years rainfall data from dataset which was collected from the Meteorology department of Andhra Pradesh and predict the average amount of rainfall of upcoming months in a specific year. We have initially separated the available data into training and testing data sets and made a model. We had applied various statistical and machine learning approaches like the linear model, Support Vector Machine algorithms etc. in predicting the results, along with a Neural Network model and made analysis over various approaches and compared their results with actual data. By these various approaches, the error of prediction was minimized and increased the accuracy of results predicted by the model.

Housing developers in the context of construction fever in twelfth- and thirteenth-century Catalonia

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the different types of people who became housing developers in medieval Catalonia through the assignment in emphyteusis of land for building (“ad construendum domos”). As examples, the article looks at four places of different sizes and jurisdictions which are well enough documented – in some cases with a series of emphyteutic establishments – to permit a diachronic study. In addition to identifying some of the main developers and the kinds of actions they took in each area, the article reviews the beneficiaries of the subsequently allotted or distributed plots, conditions established in the donations, size of plots or other indications regarding construction, materials used, and layout of future dwellings. Although this study is primarily based on published documentary sources, some contributions from the field of archaeology are also considered. Ultimately, it aims to determine the timeline of this phenomenon, that is, the moments when such building activity might have peaked in the context of the demographic and economic growth of the whole period.

Personas: A Market Segmentation Approach for Transportation Behavior Change

This paper proposes a market segmentation method applied in the field of transportation behavior change using GPS trajectories and socio-demographic data collected from the advanced demand management system “GoEzy” designed by Metropia. User attributes are extracted using several statistical methods such as dynamic time warping, density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN), and signal processing method to infer users’ sensitivity to incentives, temporal, and spatial travel patterns. Ten personas were generated by K-means clustering, representing different types of people with various travel patterns and sensitivity to incentives. The experiment was conducted on 24 new users to test if the persona could be used as a tool to predict their willingness to change. The results showed that after creating personas for new users and providing them with new incentives, their modified departure time pattern according to the new incentives matched expectations from analysis of the 10 personas.

Pragmatic adaptations of telehealth-delivered caregiver coaching for children with autism in the context of COVID-19: Perspectives from the United States and South Africa.

COVID-19 caused many autism spectrum disorder caregiver-coaching studies to move to telehealth. Telehealth can increase the diversity of people who take part in research. This matters because most autism spectrum disorder studies have included people who have resources, are White, and live in North America and Europe. When study participants are similar, it is hard to understand which interventions can help different types of people who live in different parts of the world. While telehealth may allow more people to take part in research, it needs to "fit" the local context and consider the "digital divide" because many people around the world have no access to computers and the Internet. This short report describes changes to two research studies that include caregiver coaching based on the Early Start Denver Model in the United States and South Africa. We describe how the local context, including technology and Internet access, guided the telehealth approach. By doing so, we highlight ways to make telehealth available to more people around the world. The pandemic can help us understand how telehealth can "fit" diverse places and support high-quality research. It is important that study changes are tracked and we assess how well the changes work. COVID-19 telehealth changes to caregiver coaching can result in new ways to reach more people around the world.

Prediction model of physical activity level and diabetes mellitus based on artificial neural network

Objective: clinical practice shows that the control and treatment of chronic diseases, in addition to drugs, exercise health management is more significant, but also the cheapest, no side effects, thorough intervention. It has been proved many times that exercise can control and prevent chronic diseases. Through the related research of sports intervention, because the researcher selects the experimental object and the movement type difference, thus obtains the different research conclusion. Different types of people use different types of exercise, to achieve different exercise results, especially in the group of chronic patients. Therefore, to discuss the establishment of evaluation and selection system of exercise mode in chronic disease exercise management is the time requirement of health promotion for the aged patients. Methods 1242 patients with different degrees of diabetes in Henan Province were selected and their informed consent was obtained. Using the physical activity scale (IPAQ) and the long form questionnaire, the questionnaire was issued and collected from July 1,2020 to December 31,2020 by the uniformly trained physical examination physician, the data were analyzed by artificial neural network. Results: this study has found a certain correlation between diabetes and physical activity level whose data is incomplete, but has showed an overall positive correlation.

Posture and Health: Are the Biomechanical Postural Evaluation and the Postural Evaluation Questionnaire Comparable to and Predictive of the Digitized Biometrics Examination?

Background: Postural tone alterations are expressions of myofascial and, therefore, of structural, visceral, and emotional disorders. To prevent these disorders, this study proposes a quantitative investigation method which administers a postural evaluation questionnaire and a postural biomechanical evaluation to 100 healthy subjects. Methods: The reliability of the method is studied by comparing both assessments with digitized biometrics. In addition, 50 subjects undergo the biomechanical evaluation form twice, by four different operators, to study the intraoperative repeatability. Results: The results show a satisfactory overlap between the results obtained with the postural evaluation questionnaire and the postural biomechanical evaluation compared to computerized biometrics. Furthermore, intraoperative repeatability in the use of the biomechanical evaluation form is demonstrated thanks to a minimal margin of error. Conclusions: This experience suggests the importance of undertaking this path in both the curative and the preventive sphere on a large scale and on different types of people who easily, and even unknowingly, may face dysfunctional syndromes, not only structural and myofascial but also consequently of the entire body’s homeostasis.

Interregional differences of life expectancy in rural Russia - Assessment of socio-economic, demographic, behavioural and ecological factors.

The article is aimed at studying the effects of social, economic, demographic, behavioural and environmental factors on the life expectancy of rural people in different types of regions. Using cluster analysis, we identified four relatively homogeneous groups of Russian regions in terms of life expectancy. The impact of socio-economic, demographic and environmental indicators on life expectancy of the rural population was assessed using regression models. We identified regions with low life expectancy for the rural population, and factors that have negative effect on life expectancy at birth. The main ones were alcohol abuse, high unemployment and emissions of pollutants into the air. The regression analysis showed that investments aimed at the development of health care, provision of social services and improvement of residential premises contributed to an increase in life expectancy. Significant factors in regions with high life expectancy were a lower number of recorded crimes per 100,000 of the population and a decrease in high unemployment, as well as an increase in educational expenses. In the group of regions where life expectancy of the rural population was approaching the average level in Russia, an important factor was also an increase in the level of education. We conclude that a regionally differentiated approach is necessary when introducing social policy changes, and measures aimed at increasing the life expectancy of the rural population should take into account the distinctive differences in socioeconomic development of the various regions of Russia.

WITHDRAWN: Alerting and emergency situation handling system for the visually-challenged people

We come across different types of people like normal human beings and people with disabilities like blind, deaf, dumb, paralysed, short-sighted, etc.,. But of these, blind people who are deaf are mostly dependant on others because of lack in their vision and hearing sense. Human sense is the most important thing in every human being. In our project we are going to give the visually-challenged people along with the hearing disability an independent navigation device. This is going to help the blind society to take decisions on their own while travelling. We are going to replace the conventional white cane with our technological device called tech-belt which is going to help them to navigate as well as to handle the emergency situations like kidnapping, sex harassments, etc. We try to give our hands using technology to uplift the challenged society with confidence.

ASPECTS OF PEDAGOGICAL CONTROL AND EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION

"The article considers aspects of pedagogical control and quality of education. The problem of quality of education as a problem of control and evaluation of educational activities. The article defines the quality of education from the point of view of its application in various spheres of human activity. We have developed a policy framework for monitoring and evaluating educational activities as part of the global reform of the education systems of our countries. These countries have started to define norms (standards) in the development of training programs, which is an important stage of national policy in the field of education and quality control as an integral part. These norms (standards) are a necessary basis for defining the goals of education, creating a single pedagogical space in the country, which will ensure a uniform level of General education received by young people in different types of educational institutions.

Psychological processes and ways to prevent infection in adolescents living with HIV

The article describes the causes of HIV infection, its routes of transmission, this infection in adolescents and changes in psychological processes in adolescents under its influence, stressful situations and measures to prevent them. A person's health and life are above all. Therefore, a person should not be indifferent to his health throughout his life, otherwise he may face disappointments. Because there are different types of people in the society we live in, mimg unfortunately among them the presence ofpeople being treated for or infected with a contagious disease constantly calls us to vigilance.

Place-Based Redistribution in Location Choice Models

In many recent location choice models, households randomly vary with respect to their utility of living in a location. We demonstrate that the distribution generating this randomness is fundamentally not identifiable from location choice data and as a result the optimal allocation as chosen by a social planner is not identified. We propose an algorithm for setting the distribution generating the random utility across locations that implies a planner will optimally choose no redistribution in the absence of externalities or equity motives between different groups of people. Our algorithm preserves a planner's motives to redistribute due to equity considerations between different types of people and efficiency in production, the focus of many recent studies.

Relações públicas, comunicação organizacional e questões informacionais: análise de suas inter-relações em periódicos latino-americanos

Public relations is a complex activity regarding its role in organizations and the diffuse theoretical framework that makes it difficult to build a conceptual network to justify its existence and relevance nowadays. In the organizational environment, alongside public relations, the communication system and dissemination of information are equally fundamental for the internal administrative roles and the relationship with the external environments and the different strategic audiences. In that organizational context, information management is inherently related to organizational communication and improved informational offer for developing people in the organizational context. Public relations, organizational communication, and information are interwoven with most organizations' reality as they are linked to the organizational and productive processes, and their roles and activities influence relationships and interfere in planning, results, and institutional objectives. Organizations include different types of people who work and use communication and information to make sense of daily work. In that respect, public relations act as facilitators between organizations and different audiences. Therefore, the relationship between these three concepts – public relations, organizational communication, and information – refers to organizations' world and how they deal with the exchange and sharing of meanings that influence the social, cultural, and economic environment. This study was motivated by the need to understand how theoretical frameworks and affinities are built between organizational communication, public relations, and information in scientific journals in Latin America. It aims to investigate the key elements that emerge from the intersection between public relations, organizational communication, and information in organizations. Besides, it analyzes the interrelationships of public relations, organizational communication, and information in Latin American journals. This study is exploratory and qualitative, and its methodology is a systematic review, which identified 14 articles. Of those, half prioritize the concept of organizational communication in its control and informational dimensions related to management, procedures, flows, and information processing. The concept of integrated communication emerges in four articles through a systemic view. Public relations are conceptualized in a polysemic way in six articles and are linked to both information sources and organizations' relationship with their different audiences. Information comprehensively appears as both a process and knowledge associated with systems, techniques, and technologies. The articles prioritize a functionalist notion of organizational communication as an articulating axis between the three concepts and is linked to management, which mixes information, communication, and public relations to promote access to information and dialogue. Regarding the concepts' interrelationships, only four out of the 14 articles developed all of the terms selected in the search. Furthermore, it is inferred that organizational communication represents the stronghold that supports the three concepts in the analyzed articles. Those are associated with management activities, amalgamating information, communication, and public relations to make it easier to convey and access information, promoting the opening of dialogue channels (formal and informal), social interaction, and credibility, thus collaborating to build the image, identity, and reputation of ambivalent and intricate contemporary organizations.

Changing trends in the types of drug used and infectious disease prevalence among drug users in jiangsu province, china

BackgroundIn recent years, a boom of synthetic drugs, especially methamphetamine has been documented in China, however, the situation in Jiangsu was unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the changing trends in types of drug used, examine the prevalence trends of HIV, syphilis and HCV over time and compare the demographic, drug and sexual behaviors among different types of people who use drugs (PWD) in Jiangsu Province, China. MethodsConsecutive cross-sectional studies were conducted from 2011 to 2015 in nine compulsory detoxification centers, which were HIV sentinel surveillance sites, in Jiangsu Province, China. A structured questionnaire was administered in a face-to-face interview with each participant to collect demographic, behavioral and laboratory information. Participants were classified into three types: opioids PWD (using heroin, opium, morphine and dolantin); stimulant PWD (using cocaine, methamphetamine, methylene dioxymetham-phetamine and Magu); poly-drug PWD (using opioids and stimulant drugs simultaneously). ResultsAmong a total of 16,164 PWD recruited from 2011 to 2015, the proportion of opioids PWD declined from 40.1% in 2011 to 11.8% in 2015, while the proportion of stimulant PWD increased from 53.6% to 84.3%. Overall HIV, syphilis, and HCV prevalence for the period was 0.3%, 9.6% and 31.6%, respectively. As types of drugs used shifted from opioids to stimulants, HIV prevalence increased (P = 0.031) while HCV decreased (P<0.001). HIV, syphilis and HCV prevalence trends varied across the three subgroups. Injection and needle-sharing behaviors differed between opioids and stimulant PWD, whereas unsafe sexual behaviors were similar. Poly-drug PWD might have higher risks for these infections due to combinations of unsafe sexual and injection behaviors. ConclusionAlthough the trend of drugs used have changed over time, HIV, syphilis and HCV infection risk behaviors among PWD still exist. Therefore, traditional intervention strategies should seek to address the challenge of increasing stimulant PWD. Access to convenient testing services, as well as pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis for HIV risk reduction should be improved among PWD. Antiviral treatment for HCV should be added to medical insurance coverage as soon as possible in Jiangsu Province.

Creating a Healthy Environment for Elderly People in Urban Public Activity Space

According to statistics, the global, population aging problem is severe and growing rapidly. The aging problem is most obvious in some European countries, and most of them are developed countries, such as Japan, Italy, Germany, France, etc. The current internal and external environments of parks in China are complex. The inefficient utilization of space in urban parks is a prominent problem. The design of public spaces that only considers the visual experience is incomplete. Based on the optimization of urban park space planning principle, this study examined a new measure of the acoustic environment in elderly public activity space and designed a new elderly healthy urban park environment. Methods: Using the main parks in Shenyang (Zhongshan Park, Nanhu Park, Youth Park, and Labor park) as the study sites, this study analyzed problems in the acoustic environmental data through on-site inspection, questionnaire survey, and physical data collection. By using general linear regression and multiple regression methods, this study analyzed the impacts of plant density, site elevation, structure enclosure, functional mixing degree on the acoustic environment, and elderly population activities. Based on the acoustic environment, we propose improvements and construction ideas, as well as technical methods, for urban elderly public activity space planning. The utility of the “elderly public activity space planning principle” was also considered. Results: Elderly activity space in urban parks was affected by three main factors—plant density, degree of structural enclosure, and function mixing degree. These factors should be optimized to construct healthy acoustic environments and attract different types of people. Discussion: Compared to past studies, the new influencing factors of the planning principle for elderly public activity space found in this study, would benefit the urban park environment for the elderly and support sustainable development of cities. Conclusions: This study proposes three optimizations to the elderly urban park space planning principle and builds four healthy models of elderly urban space activity.

Identification of Six Emergent Types Based on Cognitive and Affective Constructs that Explain Individuals’ Relationship with the Biosphere

To address the pathological human–nature nexus, psychological processes that impact this relationship need to be further understood. Individual differences related to personality, values, worldviews, affect, and beliefs are likely to influence how people relate to the natural world. However, there is a lack of empirically-based ecopsychological research exploring multiple individual attributes. Understanding individual differences enables the strategic design of planetary-focused interventions, such as advocacy, policy, and technology development. Using a theoretical model that incorporates intrinsic, affective, cognitive, and behavioral constructs, this study sought to identify and describe different types of people and their relationship with the biosphere. Seven hundred and fifty-three people completed an online quantitative questionnaire battery. Results from the cluster analyses of the cognitive and affective constructs showed that six heterogeneous types existed. Their different descriptive expressions of intrinsic, affective, cognitive, and behavioral constructs provide a deeper understanding of each type’s relationship with the biosphere.

Tertiary hospitals or community clinics? An enquiry into the factors affecting patients' choice for healthcare facilities in urban China

Most Chinese patients tend to seek primary care services in tertiary hospitals rather than community clinics, which has caused the malfunction of China's multi-tiered health system. This study aimed to identify the factors that affected patients' decisions when selecting healthcare facilities and use these to design policies to redirect patient flow from tertiary hospitals back to community clinics. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Shanghai in 2017 using the best-worst scaling experiment. A total of 202 respondents were included in the analysis, including 97 community residents, 56 tertiary hospital patients, and 49 community clinic patients. The latter two had made their choices so the three samples were analyzed separately. Seven attributes were used in the experiment with each varying across two or three levels to accommodate the features of primary care services in Shanghai. The values of attribute levels were estimated using the mixed logit model. Relative importance across attributes and attribute levels were derived and policy simulations were undertaken to examine the impact of changing attribute levels on choices. Results suggest that the three samples are composed of different types of people who presented different preference patterns. The community residents are representative of the population and to them sufficient test and examinations, doctors with expertise, and good service attitude are the most desirable features for a healthcare facility while unfriendly practitioners and lengthy visit the least attractive features. In terms of attributes, friendliness of doctors and the availability of tests and examinations are the two major drivers in selecting healthcare facilities. Our findings provide supportive evidence and useful inputs to the ongoing healthcare reform in China.

Hukum Bunga Bank dalam Persepsi Nasabah yang Tinggal di Pedesaan dan Perkotaan (Studi Kasus di Kudus Jawa Tengah)

Diversity can occur in rural or urban areas. Rural and urban communities have very different characteristics. Rural communities are characterized by brotherhood, closeness and a life influenced by nature. Meanwhile, urban communities have the characteristics of selective, self-oriented, universalism, achievement and heterogeneous. Different types of people influence their perceptions of life. The perception referred to in this research is the perception in economics. The main objective of this study is to determine the law of bank interest from the perspective of customers who live in rural and urban areas. This study examines problems, procedures, certain situations, everything related, activities, attitudes, views, processes and effects of an event that occurs in society and the type of research in this research is field research when viewed from a perspective. places using 11 respondents obtained using quota sampling, purposive sampling and side incidental. The results showed that the residence of Islamic bank customers did not affect the perception of the law of bank interest. This is formulated through the research results that have been achieved as a form of answer to the problem formulation.
