No full text<i>Phintelloides singhi</i> (Monga, Singh & Sadana, 1989) comb. nov. <p> <i>Marpissa singhi</i> Monga, Singh & Sadana, 1989: 592, figs 1-2.</p> <p> <b>Remarks:</b> This species was described from the female holotype from the Kalesar Reserve forest in the Haryana State. Though the authors mentioned that the type specimen will be deposited in NZC-ZSI, it has not yet arrived there and therefore is not yet available for re-examination. Since the original description and illustrations are poor, details of genital morphology remain unknown. The identity of this species thus remains unclear until further conspecific specimens are collected at the type locality. This species does not belong in <i>Marpissa</i> since no true <i>Marpissa</i> is yet reported in India. Therefore, a provisional placement in <i>Phintella</i> C.L. Koch, 1846, based on the general body form and genital morphology, was recently proposed by Prószyński & Caleb (2015). The species, however, more closely resembles members of the genus <i>Phintelloides.</i> The abdomen is devoid of any stripe or pattern like in <i>P. flavoviri</i> Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2019 and <i>P. orbisa</i> Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2019, and the epigyne moreover strongly resembles that of <i>P. orbisa</i> (Monga, Singh & Sadana, 1989: figs 1, 2 cf. Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2019: figs 12A, E, G, 13A). It is therefore reasonable to transfer the species to <i>Phintelloides.</i></p>Published as part of <i>Caleb, John T.

A REVIEW ON CONTRIBUTION OF ACHARYA SUSHRUTA IN EMERGENCY SURGICAL CONDITIONS
No full textAcharya Sushruta was the ancient Indian surgeon and also called as Father of Surgery. In ancient era when surgery was in its early childhood stage or not even heard of in other parts of the world, Acharya Sushruta performed surgery in various emergency conditions like Chhidrodara (intestinal perforation), Baddhgudodara (intestinal obstruction), Ashmari (urolithiasis), Sadyo Vrana (traumatic wound), etc. In his text Sushruta Samhita, he described all such types of diseases and their emergency surgery. His basic principles of plastic surgeries and concept of anesthesia are the privilege to emergency surgery. Ashtavidha Shastra Karma (8 types of surgical procedures), trauma bandage, emergency trauma suturing, management of Raktasrava (hemorrhage), replacement of blood volume, etc., are the basic principles of emergency surgery and given by Acharya Sushruta first. There are various advanced types of surgical procedures available in modern science for emergency conditions, but many of these surgical procedures are still following the basic principles as given by Acharya Sushruta and even after their development, in certain conditions they are still deprived of. So this paper focuses on review on the contribution of Acharya Sushruta in emergency surgical conditions
Literature Review on Pratisaraneeya Kshara in the Management of Arsha (Haemorrhoids) by Acharya Sushruta
No full textArsha (haemorrhoids) is commonest anorectal disorder affecting a large portion of the population and is characterized by engorgement and prolapse of superior haemorrhoidal venous plexus. In Ayurveda, Arsha has been classified as a Tridoshaja Vyadhi and Acharya Sushruta has placed it among Ashta Mahagada in Sushruta Samhita. In modern science various treatments are used e.g. conservative measures, non-operative procedures and operative procedures. Acharya Sushruta, Father of surgery, was first to describe Kshara in Sushruta Samhita in an elaborated manner. He has described Bhesaja, Kshara, Agni and Shashtra Karma for treatment of Arsha. Among the various treatments described Pratisaraneeya Kshara Karma (alkaline cauterization) is considered as highly effective and minimally invasive para-surgical procedure for the treatment of haemorrhoids. It offers an alternative way to conventional surgery with lesser complications and minimal chance of recurrence. This research article explains and review about Pratisaraneeya Kshara usage in the treatment of Arsha given by Acharya Sushruta
Phintelloides manipur Caleb & Acharya 2020, sp. nov.
No full textPhintelloides manipur Caleb sp. nov. Figs 1-8 Type material: NZC-ZSI 6944/18; male holotype; India, Manipur, exact locality and collector unknown (specimen found along with other spider specimens in the Manipur State survey collections without any specific label). Etymology: The species is named after the Indian state of Manipur where the holotype was collected. The epithet is a noun in apposition. Diagnosis: This species is similar to other congeners in its general morphology and color pattern but can be clearly distinguished by the morphology of its male copulatory organs: the palp with a shorter embolus (comparably shorter than in other congeners but longer than in P. versicolor) and an elongated ALT, reaching past the distal margin of the tegulum (Figs 5-8). The palp is similar to that of P. brunne Kanesharatnam & Benjamin, 2019 but can be differentiated by the presence of a TB and by the RTA tip being gently curved (TB absent and hook-shaped RTA in P. brunne). Description: Male holotype. Total length 4.48; carapace 1.92 long, 1.56 wide; abdomen 2.56 long, 1.10 wide. Carapace brown, clothed with a small patch of whitish setae between and behind AMEs. Lateral margins of carapace each covered with a broad band of white hairs. Posterior eyes surrounded by black patches (Fig. 1). AMEs lined by dense short fringe of orange setae anteriorly; clypeus brownish, with a small patch of white scales in the middle (Fig. 2). Eye measurements: AME 0.45, ALE 0.22, PME 0.05, PLE 0.21, AER 1.31, PER 1.23, EFL 0.94. Clypeus height 0.18. Sternum yellowish. Chelicerae reddish brown, with two teeth on promargin and one tooth on retromargin; labium and maxillae yellowish brown (Fig. 3). Leg I more robust than other legs and dark brown. Legs II to IV brownish yellow (Fig. 1). Leg measurements: I 4.72 (1.37, 0.76, 1.07, 1.01, 0.51); II 3.60 (1.08, 0.57, 0.72, 0.83, 0.40); III 4.34 (1.32, 0.58, 0.87, 1.07, 0.50); IV 4.70 (1.45, 0.57, 0.99, 1.14, 0.55). Leg formula: 1432. Spination of legs: femora I 0700, II 0900, III 0900, IV 0700; patellae I-IV 0010; tibiae I 2036, II 2036, III 3034, IV 3034; metatarsi I 1014, II 2024, III 2024, IV 2024; tarsi I-IV 0000. Abdomen long and narrow, yellowish, with a brownish median band fading posteriorly; venter yellowish, with mid-longitudinal discontinuous brown band. Spinnerets brownish yellow (Fig. 1). Palps yellowish brown, covered with pale hairs. Embolus slender, medium-sized, wavy, bent at the tip and pointing retrolaterad; apical portion of bulbus extending beyond distal margin of tegulum. Bulbus longer than wide. Broad sperm duct visible in distal portion of tegulum. Tegulum with small posterior lobe and tegular bump. RTA broad at base, tapering toward tip, gently curving ventrad (Figs 4-8). Female. Unknown. Distribution: India (Manipur) (Fig. 9).Published as part of Caleb, John T.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Foundations of Collective Action in Asia: Theory and Practice of Regional Cooperation
No full textThis paper argues that the collective action in Asia by its regional organizations has historically suffered from a “capability–legitimacy gap”: a disjuncture between the capability (in terms of material resources) of major Asian powers to lead regional cooperation on the one hand and their political legitimacy and will as regional leaders on the other. Successful collective action requires leadership with both capability (as suggested by rationalist theories) and legitimacy (as suggested by constructivist approaches). A central point of the paper is that the putative or aspiring leaders of Asian regionalism throughout the post-war period never had both.asian regionalism; regional cooperation; asian regional cooperation
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
