Problems of defining the concept of corruption and its content: A philosophical analysis
Get PDFIn this article, the author has tried to define the concept and essence of corruption as a special social phenomenon characterized by various levels and manifestations, consisting in the merging of the state and municipal apparatus with business, when official powers and position are used not in the public interest, but in personal or corporate interests, while receiving illegal remuneration is systematic and is the purpose of being in the state or municipal service. Corruption is a self-perpetuating phenomenon that exists within public life and has no national or territorial borders. This concept testifies to its imperfection and weakness and arises from the "bowels" of the state, the low legal culture of not only officials, but also society as a whole. After all, officials are a part of society. At the same time, corruption is one of the elements of the "legal" shadow life
Foundation economic development for network development community tourism by linking local products and cultural capital Tak Province
Get PDFThe research effort explained the phenomenon of sustainable tourism development in Tak province of Thailand, influenced by complex variables of cultural perspective including cultural capital and community participation. The moderation role of the important factor of cultural tourism is incorporated in the study, for assessment of the relationship between exogenous and endogenous constructs.

While being a frontliner and saving the lives of patients, healthcare professionals (HCP’s) have encountered physical but varied levels and types of psychological challenges. Psychological challenges faced by HCP’s at covid care centres have been highlighted by many researches and publications. The purpose of this study was to highlight the psychological challenges encountered by HCP’s at a non-covid cancer care institute. A self-designed survey about psychological challenges (physical changes, anxiety, perceived fear, depression, awareness, and positivity) experienced by HCP’s with purposive sampling (Doctors) was conducted in a tertiary cancer care institute. Results revealed that fear and anxiety of getting infected and infecting their significant others was significantly high among HCP’s. To maintain an effective, encouraging, and motivating workforce, psychological interventions played a key role

Get PDFBackground: Morbidity dysmenorrhea has a significant impact on public health as it is one of the first causes of absence in school and work, and can therefore lead to higher health costs and reduced academic effectiveness, plus a large decrease in the quality of life they are affected. Purpose: to know description of dysmenorrhea intensity in high school students. Methode: this study is descriptive research, with a total sample of 105 respondents obtained through purposive sampling techniques. Each respondent filled out a questionnaire containing data on the characteristics of respondents and the NRS pain scale instumen. Analyze data using descriptive tests with SPSS 26. Results: The level of dismenor pain in high school students belongs to the category of moderate pain (48.6%) with ik (95%) 39.0-57.9. Conclusion High school students experience dysmenorrhoea with pain scale 5 (NRS) that falls into the category of moderate pain
Morphometry of hypoglossal canal in central Indian Crania
Get PDFAim: Study of non metric cranial variants have been a field of considerable interest to research workers especially because of their racial and regional importance. Present study is undertaken to know the morphometric differences of hypoglossal canal and to draw any significant statistical conclusions. Materials and methods: This study is conducted on eighty central Indian dry crania of unknown sex and age. Various parameters of hypoglossal canal were measured and documented. Results: The intra cranial diameter ranged on right side from 5-7.5 mm with an average of 6.0±3 mm. On left side, it ranged from 4.5-8mm with an average of 6.8±3mm. The extra cranial diameter ranged on right side from 5.5-8.5mm with an average of 6.4±2 mm and on left side ranged from 5.5-9mm with an average of 6.2±3mm. Regarding the shape of the openings, of the eighty skulls used for this study, we found round shaped (63,78.75%), oval shaped (10,12.5%), kidney shaped (1,1.25%), tear drop shaped (4,5%), dumb bell shaped(1, 1.25%), triangle shaped(1,1.25%). Septation is observed on right side in 5 skulls (6.25%) and on left side in 8 skulls (10%)
Phytochemical constituents and anti-inflammatory activities of Clerodendrum petasites
Get PDFInflammation is process of immune responses to microbial infections and cell damage. Macrophages are pro-inflammatory leukocytes crucial for initiation, maintenance, and resolution of inflammation. Root extract of a medicinal plant Clerodendrum petasites (CP), has been widely used as a component of antipyretic and anti-inflammatory remedies. In the present study, we investigated whether CP aerial part (leaf and stem) extracts had the same contents with the root extracts as well as their cytotoxicity and inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine RAW 264.7 monocyte/macrophage-like cell model. Analysis of the methanol-extracted CP contents with the high-performance liquid chromatography ultra-violet spectroscopy (HPLC-UV) showed that major phenolic compounds found in the root extract were verbascoside and quercetin, while the aerial parts also additionally contained rosmarinic acid and hispidulin. These CP extracts were not toxic to the cells and able to inhibit production of pro-inflammatory markers, nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In addition, the aerial CP extracts also inhibited the pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), suggesting additional role of rosmarinic acid and hispidulin. In conclusion, this study showed that the aerial parts of the CP contained phytochemical constituents and could be used as anti-inflammatory medicinal plants
Driving pressure versus right ventricular echocardiography parameters as a predictive for acute respiratory distress syndrome outcome
Get PDFBackground: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an inflammatory disease that affects the lung in a heterogeneous manner , so that ,even ideal body weight (IBW) based tidal volume may apply different lung stress and strain according to the available aerated lung areas. Airway driving pressure (DP) is the difference between airway plateau pressure (P plat) and positive endexpiratory pressure (PEEP), it can be used as a bedside surrogate for lung stress in several previous studies. Acute corpulmonale manifested by pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction occurs as a consequence for ARDS with a prevalence ( 25% to 61%) in different studies. Objectives : This study was designed to show he clinical value of airway driving pressure and right heart echocardiography parameters in predicting ARDS outcome , and to correlate between airway pressures and right ventricle parameters. Methodology : fifty ARDS patients were diagnosed by Berlin criteria and monitored for airway pressures including DP and Pplat on day 0, day 3 and day 7. transthoracic echocardiography was used to assess RV parameters on day 0 and day 7 . According the ICU mortality patients are divided into survivors and nonsurvivors
