Nurses’ perception of thirst in patients within palliative home care: a qualitative study

BackgroundThirst is the body’s natural urge to replenish fluids in response to a deficiency in hydration. Patients at the end of life gradually lose their independence and reach a point where they become unable to express their needs and can no longer drink on their own. In palliative care, the main advice is to provide regular oral care to relieve symptoms such as dry mouth and thirst. However, according to previous studies the prevalence of thirst and dry mouth remains.AimThe aim of this study was to describe palliative care, nurses’ views and experiences of thirst in end-of-life care in specialist palliative care units.MethodsA qualitative interview study with an inductive approach was conducted. Eighteen nurses working in six different specialist palliative care units in different hospitals in Sweden were interviewed. The interviews were transcribed and analysed with a content analysis approach according to Graneheim and Lundman.ResultsWhen nurses discuss thirst, they perceive thirst as a problem for the patient. This is attributable to various factors, including the patient breathing with an open mouth, a reduced level of awareness, and negligence on the part of the nursing staff. Signs of thirst are dry mouth, and frequently and intense sucking on the oral care stick during oral care. It also emerged that not all nurses perceived that dying patients experienced thirst. They believe that thirst is something that is reduced in the dying patient in the same way as hunger. The most important thing to them is to relieve the dry mouth by providing good oral care. Several issues, such as a lack of guidelines paired with the patient’s reduced consciousness and hence his/her lack of communication, make assessing thirst problematic.ConclusionNurses have different thoughts and experiences about thirst, where some perceive patients as thirsty while others perceive them as having a dry mouth. Nurses expressed that both evidence and guidelines are lacking.

Ayurvedic Insights on Improving Poor Sleep Quality

Sleep – this natural urge is so essential phenomenon of life that engages our one third of life-span, still indulging in being slept is mystery to everyone. At one side adequate sleep quality imparts fair concentration, emotional, cognitive motivational harmony inside body’s mind, soul and consciousness. Contrary to which inadequate sleep or poor sleep quality leads to tiredness, lack of focus, exhaustion, a low pain tolerance, anxiety, irritational thoughts, hallucinations, loss of appetite, constipation and many more. Sleep has a positive impact over digestion, metabolism, nourishment and health. It is irresistible, irreplaceable and unique boon for us, which is pillar of our life. The natural cycle of sleep and awakening is depending on Awastha of Sharir Dosha, Kaal Dosha, and few more factors as depicted in Ayurveda texts. So, the quality of sleep depends on these factors. If there is Kshaya of Kapha, or Vriddhi of Vata and Pitta, then the quality of sleep disturbs. In the realm of holistic well-being, Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers profound insights into optimizing sleep quality. Through personalized approaches, Ayurvedic remedies like herbal formulations, lifestyle modifications, and relaxation techniques aim to rebalance Doshas and promote restful sleep. Integrating practices such as meditation, gentle yoga, and consistent sleep routines can pacify Vata and Pitta Dosha, calm the mind, and induce relaxation, fostering deeper and more rejuvenating sleep. Ayurveda's holistic perspective provides a natural and sustainable pathway to address poor sleep quality and promote overall well-being. The present paper is here to discuss in detail about Sukh Nidra.

A Systemic Review of Vegadharana on Cardiac Disorder

The term “Vega” means natural urge, and “Dharana” means suppression, so collectively, the word Vega Dharana means forceful suppression of natural urge. Vegas are naturally created in the body in order to maintain bodily equilibrium. Initiation of urges is a normal body activity through which unwanted and waste body products are expelled from the body. In order to facilitate the elimination of these substances, the body is equipped with Adharniya Vegas, which appears naturally. So it is very important to respond to these urges and not suppress them as and when they appear. In Ayurveda, it is broadly explained how suppression of urges leads to serious illnesses. The suppression of urges cause disturbance in homeostasis and lead to many metabolic disorders. Vega dharana as a Nidana is a unique concept of Ayurveda. Acharya Vagbhatta, in the Astang Hridaya Sutrasthana, stated that the root cause of almost all diseases is Vega udirandharane. In Ayurveda, Vegadharan of Adharniya vega is one of the causative factors of Hridaya roga. Today, cardiovascular disorders are the world’s leading cause of mortality and responsible for one out of every four deaths. The increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) all over the world is due to faulty diet patterns and lifestyles. Approx eighty percent of premature deaths from CVD are preventable. The role of Ayurveda in the prevention and cure of cardiovascular disease is very systematic and good. It can be helpful in decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular disease.

Knee flexion of saxophone players anticipates tonal context of music

Music performance requires high levels of motor control. Professional musicians use body movements not only to accomplish and help technical efficiency, but to shape expressive interpretation. Here, we recorded motion and audio data of twenty participants performing four musical fragments varying in the degree of technical difficulty to analyze how knee flexion is employed by expert saxophone players. Using a computational model of the auditory periphery, we extracted emergent acoustical properties of sound to inference critical cognitive patterns of music processing and relate them to motion data. Results showed that knee flexion is causally linked to tone expectations and correlated to rhythmical density, suggesting that this gesture is associated with expressive and facilitative purposes. Furthermore, when instructed to play immobile, participants tended to microflex (>1 Hz) more frequently compared to when playing expressively, possibly indicating a natural urge to move to the music. These results underline the robustness of body movement in musical performance, providing valuable insights for the understanding of communicative processes, and development of motor learning cues.

Examining client tech-readiness in the digitization of Microfinance

The study on “examining client tech readiness in the digitization of microfinance” was taken up during the periodin October to March 2021 in India, first and the most literate district of most literate state namely Kerala. The periodcoincided with the peak of COVID-19 and the data on the readiness of 500 clients were collected using a pretested structurequestionnaire developed for the purpose. Statistical analytical methods used were exploratory factor analysis, confirmatoryfactor analysis and goodness of fit. Among the most influencing factors were the use of ATM counters with their own card,a feeling of insecurity among the clients that it will be difficult to avail microfinance if they don’t switch over to technologyuse; all services are integrated with suitable technologies; loss of optimism- “A feeling that more things are going wrong” andthe natural urge to know about the technologies before fellow clients which is a factor of innovativeness. This study is ofutmost relevance as digitalisation has been felt as an imperative and inevitable need and these aspects serve as directiveprinciples and need to be prioritised in the process of implementation

Impact of Globalization on African Culture

The process of globalization is inevitable because it is part of human nature. Man by nature is a social being with an irresistible urge to associate with his fellow human beings. Man cannot survive without associating with his fellow human beings. Globalization is a manifestation of this natural urge in man to associate with his fellow human beings and it is irresistible. I understand globalization to mean the process by which mankind gets closer together. This process has in recent times been facilitated by modern means of communication and transportation. Tremendous progress was made in this direction in the 20th century by the unprecedented advancement in the means of transportation and communication, e.g. Satellite and E-mail. This has turned the world to “global village”. You could have your dinner in Lagos and your breakfast the following morning in London. Through CNN, you could see and know what is happening in other part of the world. And through improved telecommunication, you could talk with anybody in other parts of the world. Through all these advancements in transportation and telecommunication, mankind is fast coming together, getting to know more about one another, becoming more and more interested and involved in what goes on in other parts of the world. Despite its numerous advantages, globalization has serious effects on African culture. It affects almost if not all aspects of African culture. One of such is the loss of one’s cultural identity and even national identity. The paper discusses meaning and definitions of culture, characteristics of culture, Categories and types of culture, meaning and definition of globalization, features of globalization, advantages of globalization and the impacts of globalization on African culture. The paper therefore concludes that globalization is good, but we must embrace it with caution and guard against the dangers inherent in it so that our cultural heritage is not eroded and sacrificed on the altar of globalization.

The Fidget Factor and the obesity paradox. How small movements have big impact.

The hypothesis is that the Fidget Factor is the innate neurological pulse that propels humans and other species to move to support their health. Fidgets, previously thought to be spontaneous, are neurologically regulated and highly ordered (non-random). Modern societies being chair-based overwhelm Fidget Factor pulses and consequently inflict chair-based living for transportation, labor, and leisure. Despite impulses firing through the nervous system, people sit because environmental design overwhelms the biology. Urbanization and chair-based societies were designed after the industrial revolution to promote productivity; however, the consequence has been opposite. Crushing the natural urge to move-the Fidget Factor-is a public health calamity. Excess sitting is associated with a myriad of detrimental health consequences and impairs productivity. Fidgeting may reduce all-cause mortality associated with excessive sitting. The Fidget Factor offers hope; data demonstrate that workplaces and schools can be designed to promote activity and free people's Fidget Factors. Evidence shows that people are happier, healthier, wealthier, and more successful if their Fidget Factors are freed.

Non-Pharmacological Approach of Food & Yoga to Mollify Tension-Type-HeadacheInduced byStress Incited Dharan ofKshudha Vega(Suppression Of Urge Of Hunger)

Disorders caused by men's imprudence and indulgence in unhealthy lifestyleslead to the development of lifestyle disorders.

Freedom from Democracy: Cassius Dio’s Polemical Tale of the Horror of Late Republican Politics

ABSTRACT: Like most commentators in imperial Rome, Cassius Dio believed monarchy to be the only form of constitution able to limit man’s natural urge to surpass his peers. What makes Dio polemical is not the notion that competition between senators would result in rivalry, internal strife, and civil war. It is the way in which his narrative demonstrates that almost every senator in the Late Republic was engaged in politics in order to maximize his own gains, except for Augustus, who had the interests of the Roman people at heart when he punished his father’s murderers and reestablished Rome’s monarchical constitution.

Ayurvedic Perspectives towards Sleep and Its Significance

Ahara (food), Nidra (sleep), and Bramhacharya (celibacy) are three pillars of life. Sleep is equally important as food, hence we must know concept of sleep described in Ayurveda. It is also enumerated as the natural urge which should not be suppressed and if suppressed would lead to various diseases. Health of a person means healthy physical body and mind together. Ayurveda helps in keeping balance, harmony and equilibrium in all physiological activities of body and mind. Ayurveda is an eternal science.
 Conclusion: Causes of the rapid increase in non-communicable diseases are mostly related to Lifestyle such as physical inactivity etc. Increasing a sedentary lifestyle due to the growing use of technologies in daily life causes higher levels of physical inactivity. In modern era of civilization, due to growing use of technologies like Laptop, Tablet, Mobile phone and increasing competition, changing lifestyle especially sleeping pattern has become a leading cause for manifestation of many diseases like Hypertension, Migraine, Diabetes mellitus, Obesity etc. Hence, Nidra(sleep) being an integral part of our life plays an important role in promotion of health and prevention of diseases. It has been observed that all the living beings enjoy sleep to keep their body and mind active.

Effect of Tax Audit and Tax Amnesty on Tax Yield in Southwest, Nigeria

The study aimed at investigating the effect of tax audit and tax amnesty on tax yield in southwest Nigeria. Tax audit and tax amnesty are part of the tax administration programmes which serves as government’s instrument for determining and monitoring tax collection. Residents have a natural urge to reduce their tax obligations by intentionally overstating their expenses and producing fraudulent entries and falsehoods in their accounting records. Without a doubt, this shows a lot about Nigeria’s tax administration. The study was carried out in southwest Nigeria which comprises of Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun and Lagos States. Survey research method was used for the study and 302 staff of the audit and risk departments from the State Board of Internal Revenue (SBIR) and Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) formed the population of the study. Taro Yamane sampling technique was adopted to get the sampling size of 172 respondents. The researcher created a closed-ended questionnaire called Tax Administration and Tax Yield (TATY) to gather relevant data for the study. The study found that tax audit has significantly positive link with tax yield while tax amnesty has a negative and substantial correlational influence on tax yield significant relationship with tax yield. It was recommended that tax audits should be undertaken on a regular basis and tax amnesty should be fairly play down because it may reduce future tax revenue.

КОНЦЕПЦІЯ ЛІДЕРСТВА-СЛУЖІННЯ ЯК СУЧАСНА ФІЛОСОФІЯ УПРАВЛІННЯ

The modern world needs a new type of leader who develops a vision of the future for his / her followers and encourages them to be ready for it. These leaders ensure changes, they are not focused that much on the behavior of their followers / subordinates and on controlling their behavior. On the contrary, they are focused on the development of initiative and support becoming the servants of those they have to lead. The concept of servant l eadership is derived from the ideas of Robert K. Greenleaf. As R. Greenleaf states, it all starts with a natural urge – the desire to serve. The motto of this thought is "A good leader is primarily a servant". The task of the leader is to achieve common goals by ensuring the well-being of followers and subordinates. Servant leadership is an attempt to become better, to become the person others would gladly follow. Such an idealistic vision of a leader as a servant is fruitful and is paid off even in a very competitive business world. A servant leader builds an organized and creative team, and this type of leadership involves the development of organizational culture which demonstrates a high level of trust. Being a servant leader means to help people overcome obstacles and get the tools and resources they need to perform better; to be an example; to facilitate the work of others; to be willing to do what others do. This model of leadership implies a "flattening" of hierarchies: a boss is a friend who listens to those who are with him/her rather than a person who decides what is best for them. This type of leadership has the powerful potential in today’s globalized world. The article aims to analyze the concept of servant leadership. The authors have used an interpretive research paradigm and multidisciplinary analysis.

USHNODAKA AS A DAILY ROUTINE

Ayurveda is the ‘science of life’ mainly aims at positive health by preventing a person from getting any disease as well as treat the diseased person. A balanced state of Tridosha, Dhatus, Mala, Agni etc helps to keep one’s life healthy. Any disturbances in these factors will leads to ill health. So, in present era we should plan accordingly and should follow strictly Dinacharya, Ritucharya, and Ratricharya to maintain the proper health. Ayurveda has de- scribed some rules for Ahara, Vihara and Jalasevana. Acharya Sushrutha told that the life of living creature is water itself. Water is one of the pancha mahabhuta which is vital for the creatures. Trishna is one among non-suppressible natural urge described in our science. Ayurveda recommends the intake of cold as well as warm water based on the body condition. Our Acharyas explained the benefits of Ushnambu, Shitambu, and their qualities, and we should consider the indications and contra indications of water to maintain the Avikrutavastha of Tridosha and Agni. ‘Ush- nodaka ‘means warm water but here water should be boiled properly not just heated. Generally, Udaka is used as Anupana for Ahara, but Ushnodaka has its own specialty as an Anupana for Ahara, for Aushadhi, and it can be used in particular Vyadhivastha. Thus, Ushnodaka plays an important role in Swastha Samrakshana as well as Vikara Prashamana. So here I made an attempt to discuss the importance of Ushnodaka as a daily routine. Keywords: Ushnodaka, Swastha, Anupana, Jalasevana, Agni, Tridosha, Vyadhi, Daily routine.

A REVIEW OF VEGADHARANA

The human body is an awesome complex system, having numerous ways to balance and to eliminate the harmful substances out of the body. In Ayurveda viewpoint for this purpose, the body is furnished with natural urges known as Vegas. Suppression of these natural urges are known as Vegadharana. This study was focused to analyze and identify the effects and common clinical features of Vegadharana on human body. Secondary data was collected, and results revealed that suppression of Adharaneeya Vegas affect Cardiovascular System, Gastrointestinal Tract, Respiratory System, Urinary System and Reproductive System in the body. In addition, common clinical features produced by Vegadharana were weakness of the body, constipation, anorexia, headache, diseases of eye, difficulty in micturition, bending of the body and stiffness of the neck. These clinical features and diseases arise due to vitia- tion of Vata dosha through Vegadharana. Hence, Ayurveda strongly recommends that not to suppress the urges in any condition. Keywords: Vegadharana, suppression of natural urge, Vata Dosa, Ayurveda

Portfolio Protection? It’s a Long (Term) Story…

Investors have a natural urge to protect their portfolios from sudden crashes. The authors argue that investors should instead focus on bad outcomes that unfold over longer periods because those tend to be more detrimental to the long-term goal of wealth accumulation. The authors show that options-based hedging can be effective over shorter periods but tends to weaken over time. Worse still, returns tend to be very punitive during prolonged bull markets. In contrast, risk-mitigating and diversifying strategies such as defensive equities, risk parity, alternative risk premiums, and trend-following have more consistently added value in the longer-lasting market drawdowns that matter most to investors—and, unlike puts, can profit in up as well as down markets. This latter point suggests a crucial advantage for these strategies: that unlike options-based hedging, it is never too late to consider diversifying into them. <b>TOPICS:</b>Portfolio construction, tail risks, options <b>Key Findings</b> ▪ When it comes to drawdowns, many investors focus on depth, but length matters, too. Empirically, strategies that protect against longer-lasting tail events are more helpful to long-term wealth creation than strategies that protect against shorter-lived ones. ▪ Options-based hedging strategies have been highly effective at delivering value over short-term bad outcomes for traditional portfolios, but their efficacy wanes at longer horizons—eventually underperforming 60/40 even in bad outcomes for 60/40. ▪ In contrast, the authors present a range of alternative diversifying strategies that can provide more consistent and higher relative returns during longer-term bad outcomes, thus potentially benefitting investors when they need it the most.

The Study of effect of suppression of urge of micturition (Mutra vegadharan)

TITLE: Study of effect of suppression of urge of micturition (Mutra vegadharan)- A review study&#x0D; AUTHOR: Dr. Reshma .K. Mahale&#x0D; DESIGNATION : PG Scholar, Department of Kriya Sharir&#x0D; Abstract-&#x0D; Our body has to eliminate waste products from the body time to time. For this our body gives some signals which reminds us to remove this waste. These signals are called Natural urges or Vegas in Ayurveda. Vegas is the tendency to expel out1. These Vegas should not be hold or suppressed as it can cause severe effect on our body. There are various urges explained in Ayurvedic texts like urge of urine, faeces, vata, sneezing, sleep etc. Out of which is urge of micturition which is commonly seen to be suppressed by most of individuals. The major cause of suppression or Vegdharan of urine is bad life style habits, hectic schedules, heavy working hours, travelling, unavailability of proper facilities of urination and toilets etc. Hence urine should be eliminated according to its natural urge to prevent people from various disease.&#x0D; Key words- Vegas, Micturition, Vegadharan

Understanding Negative Photoconductivity Observed in c‐Orientated InN Epitaxial Layer

The effect of temperature, environmental conditions, and the applied bias on the phototransport properties of InN epitaxial films grown on c‐sapphire substrates is investigated. The study reveals the coexistence of surface photo‐electromotive force (photo‐EMF) and negative photoconductivity (NPC) effects that result in a unique photoresponse, in which not only the magnitude but also the sign of the photoconductivity becomes bias dependent. Like surface photo‐EMF effect, which has been extensively studied in our earlier article [Appl. Phys. A 2019, 125, 84], NPC can also be attributed to the accumulation of electrons in a thin layer just below the surface. A theory has been proposed to explain the effect. According to the model, the accumulation layer is ascribed to the electrons stemming from the donor‐like surface states that arise from the attachment of certain adsorbates. Upon illumination, the natural urge to align the quasi‐Fermi level at the two sides of the boundary leads to the rearrangement of the electrons between the accumulation layer and the donor‐like surface states. This rearrangement process can lead to a reduction of the electron concentration in the accumulation layer. It should be noted that the accumulation layer, which can offer high electron mobility due to reduced dimensionality, is expected to dominate the conducting property of the entire film. Photoinduced reduction of electron concentration in the accumulation channel can thus explain the NPC effect observed in these films.

Veil, a Need of Human BIOS: Study beyond Religions

Generally, it is understood that religions are the basic foundations of women veil-acceptance and projection in present societies but the study of ancient communities beyond the birth of Semitic Religions evident that in approximately all parts of the globe, the women used to wear the full body covering dresses and somewhere face veil also. Due to attaining physical enchantment or necessity of climate, dresses or head covering were somewhat different but females were used the veil of body and face all the times. Human being, man and women, has a constant human BIOS (Basic Input &amp; Output System). Human BIOS has fixed needs and defined actions which cannot be changed or corrupted due to diseases or accidents. Human BIOS consists on skill of speaking, hearing, smelling, seeing, eating, defending, making itself beautiful, saving body or self, covering the body and loving other sex. Human BIOS of women has some specific characteristics also like shyness, fear by exposing body and love for decorating her body. These characteristics of women BIOS urges and urged them to cover their bodies and heads with veil. This article consists of study of women practices of veiling in ancient communities, explanation of women BIOS, female natural urge for covering and decorating their bodies. All of this study is on humanitarian basis beyond the boundaries of religions. The article explained that philosophical pathology of veil elucidated the actual bases of veil adaptation among women. Of course World Major Religions depict a social phenomenon that there is no ban on women to use veil and additionally, religions advocate modest or full body covering dresses and presents veil of full body of women as a mark of honor, dignity and modesty among all communities of the world but the article revolves around the veil adaptation only by women BIOS sphere.

The influence of classical Stoicism on John Locke’s theory of self-ownership

The most important parent of the idea of property in the person (self-ownership) is undoubtedly John Locke. In this article, we argue that the origins of this idea can be traced back as far as the third century BCE, to classical Stoicism. Stoic cosmopolitanism, with its insistence on impartiality and the moral equality of all persons, lays the foundation for the idea of self-ownership, which is then given support in the doctrine of oikeiosis and the corresponding belief that nature had made all human beings equal, self-preserving, and self-regarding. On the Stoic account, self-ownership (or our preferred term self-guardianship) is a natural correlate and consequence of oikeiosis, the natural urge to self-preservation, proprioception, and the individuation that came with it. In recognising that people are separate and individual, and entrusting each individual’s welfare to herself, Zeus appears to make everyone a ‘self-guardian’. We uniquely argue that Locke was directly inspired by these Stoic ideas, which he then develops and incorporates into his own theory.

Role of human resources in the tourism industry with special reference to Jammu and Kashmir

Tourism is one of the most preferred and well-accepted ways of spending leisure time. The natural urge and appetite of every human being for gaining new experiences and eagerness to get entertained and educated are the main drivers of tourism. Tourism is one of the largest and fastest-growing economic sectors in the world which is directly concerned with generating services, products, employment, and investments. Being a service-based and relationship rich industry, the competitiveness of tourism industry is largely determined by its human resource which is regarded as the most vital asset and the chief source of sustainable competitive advantage. Therefore, the present study intends to summarize the role and significance of human resources in the tourism industry with special reference to Jammu and Kashmir primarily through the use of secondary data. The study established that there exists a positive and coherent association between human resources and the development of the tourism industry. It is such a resource of the tourism industry that appreciates and advances with time and supports the organization in crafting and executing its policies and strategies. It also play a very crucial role in the promotion, growth and sustainable development of the industry. The study is believed to serve as a valuable tool for researchers to understand the importance of human resources in tourism and take this research area forward. It is equally important for the tourism administration and policymakers to formulate strategies for professional management and development of human resources. Moreover, the study makes a significant contribution to the existing body of knowledge in the area of tourism management.
