The effectiveness of Ayurvedic oil based nasal instillation (Nasya) medicines in the treatment of facial paralysis (Ardita)
No full textBackground: Ardita (facial paralysis) is a medical condition that disfigures or distorts the facial appearance of the sufferer, causing facial asymmetry and malfunction. Ardita patients may benefit from considering alternative treatments such as Ayurveda, including Taila Nasya (nasal instillation of medicated oil). Objectives: To synthesize the best available evidence regarding the effectiveness of different Nasya oils in the treatment of Ardita. Secondly, to draw evidence based recommendations from the synthesis for practitioners and Ardita sufferers. Inclusion criteria: Types of participants Studies conducted with adult sufferers (18-70 years of age) of Ardita (chronic or acute) in any setting were considered. Studies including participants who were pregnant or suffered allergic rhinitis, fever, intracranial tumour/haemorrhage and bilateral facial palsy were excluded. Intervention(s)/comparator(s) Taila Nasya (at all dosages and frequencies), either as a standalone treatment or in combination with other Ayurvedic treatments, was the intervention considered. Comparators considered were different Taila Nasya stand-alone treatments, Taila Nasya in combination with other Ayurvedic interventions and Ayurvedic interventions that did not include Taila Nasya. Outcomes and measures The outcomes of interest were changes in Ardita symptoms including facial distortion, speech disorders and facial pain. All measures of these symptoms were considered. Types of studies All quantitative study designs (experimental, quasi-experimental and observational) were considered. Search strategy: A three-step search strategy was initially used to identify published and unpublished studies. Studies published in the English language were considered, irrespective of publication date. Following an initial limited search of MEDLINE and CINAHL, the text words contained in the title and abstract, and of the index terms used to describe each articles were analysed. From the identified keywords and index terms, searches were undertaken across all relevant databases. Thirdly, reference lists of identified thesis and articles were searched for additional studies. Universities and website operators related to Ayurvedic research in India were contacted, including the National Institute of Ayurveda for relevant studies. Besides this, the University of Adelaide librarian was contacted to retrieve those studies identified in the reference lists of thesis and articles. Due to the dearth of studies identified, a fourth step was added to the search strategy commonly used for systematic reviews based on the Joanna Briggs Institute systematic review methodology. This involved contacting Indian universities and relevant institutions to locate and obtain studies that match the inclusion criteria of this review. Methodological quality: Studies matching the inclusion criteria were independently assessed by the author and a secondary reviewer using the relevant standardised critical appraisal instrument from the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (MAStARI). Data extraction and synthesis: Data was extracted by the primary reviewer using a standardised data extraction tool from the Joanna Briggs Institute. The intention was to conduct a meta-analysis. However, this was not possible because only two studies were identified, and these examined different interventions and comparators. A narrative synthesis was therefore conducted, aided by tables. Results: Only two pseudo-randomised studies, with a small number of participants and which met the inclusion criteria, were accessible and included in the review. One study with 20 participants, divided equally into two groups, compared the effectiveness of two alternative nasal instillations, namely Anu Taila and Mashadi Taila for alleviating four Ardita symptoms. Although the researchers claimed that Anu Taila Nasya is better than Mashadi taila Nasya for controlling facial distortion, they stated that Mashadi taila Nasya offered statistically highly significant outcome values. Furthermore, they made an unsupported statement that Mashadi taila Nasya if administered with Shamana medicines will give better results in short duration. The second study, which included 30 participants split evenly between the intervention and comparator groups, compared the effectiveness of Nasya with Shirobasti for alleviating seven Ardita symptoms. Both studies used observational measurements and graded Ardita symptoms as ‘mild’, ‘moderate’ or ‘marked’ at baseline and after one month. In the study that included 30 participants, the 15 patients who received the Nasya intervention experienced relief from the symptoms of facial pain, speech disorder and earache within the range of 78.2% to 90.9%, graded as ‘marked’. The review found scant and low level of evidence favouring the Taila Nasya intervention compared to Shirobasti. Conclusions: This systematic review presents extremely limited evidence, from only two small experimental studies, that administration of Nasya oil alone may provide some relief from Ardita symptoms of facial distortion, speech disorder, inability to shut eyelids and dribbling of saliva in adult patients. Of the two studies, one had very weak methodology and did not offer any robust results. No strong conclusions may be drawn from the evidence included in this review due to the limited number of studies, limited number of participants and poor quality of studies. Inferences for practice Practitioners should advise Ardita patients that there is extremely limited evidence that suggests that Mahamasha Taila Nasya alone may provide some relief from Ardita symptoms of facial distortion, speech disorder, inability to shut eyelids/upward eye rolling, and dribbling of saliva in adult patients.
Given the absence of a strong evidence base, practitioners should be guided by clinical wisdom and patient preference. Inferences for research Well controlled clinical trials comparing the effects of standalone Nasya therapy and Nasya combined with other Ayurvedic treatments and/or conventional medicine on Ardita symptoms should be conducted. High quality clinical trials examining the relative effectiveness of different Nasya oils for treating Ardita are also required.Thesis (M.Clin.Sc.) -- University of Adelaide, Joanna Briggs Institute, 2016

Ethical elements in P.B.Shelley’s ‘Prometheus Unbound’
No full textPercy Bysshe Shelley is one of the greatest British poets of romanticism. his literary work is great in quantity and quality, where we clearly see the most important features of romanticism, like the overflow of emotions, imagination, importance given to individualism, praise and importance of nature etc. his poetry is various in form and themes. they can be classified in lyrical poems, long narrative poems, plays, etc. in this paper there will be a short presentation on the author and his work in general, but the most important part is the insight of the ethical elements in his greatest narrative poem 'Prometheus unbound'. the variety of themes, ethical messages, Shelley’s ideology on revolution and his political views are issues analyzed. For example, the major theme of Prometheus unbound is that if humanity chooses to shake off corruption and embrace love (represented by Prometheus’s revocation of his curse against Jupiter), then reform – political, social, and religious – will necessarily follow. the poem thus teaches that humans possess the capacity within themselves to effect reform, beginning with the individual rejection of evil. We also tried to make a comparison between Shelley’s poem, and the ancient myth about Prometheus, etc. the aesthetical elements included in the poem are also discusses. However, not only ‘Prometheus unbound’, but majority of Shelley’s poems are unique as his life was

Group 15: Mystic Mischief: Banned Books in Classrooms
No full textThis poster will look at children’s literature that has been banned from schools due to themes of magic, witchcraft, or mysticism. We will be looking at four different popular children\u27s novels, and dissecting the reasons behind their prohibition. These include: C. S. Lewis’ (1950) The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which, although it has never been banned, has been challenged by numerous public schools, religious communities and public libraries, as its main character, the lion Aslan, can be interpreted as a Christ-like figure. The novel The Witches by Roald Dahl, another celebrated children’s author, has, however, been banned due to its glamourization of witchcraft, as well its misogynistic views. We draw on scholarship on magic and modernity (eg. Randall Styers 2004) to contextualize the fear over magic and mysticism in relation to “legitimate religion” and with respect to the supposed moral vulnerability of children.
Juridical Analysis of the Position of the Notary Deed That Does Not Meet the Subjective Elements as a Condition for the Validity of the Agreement
No full textThe deed throughout 2010 recorded that 12 housing certification cases had been handled by the Notary Supervisory Council, both central and regional. It is undeniable that certain individuals can do things that violate their professional code of ethics. In conducting this research, the author uses the research method used is normative juridical literature research, the sources of which can be obtained from library materials and document studies. The result of the research is that a deed that can be canceled remains valid and binding as long as there is no court decision that has permanent legal force that cancels the deed. Legal actions as outlined in a notarial deed can be canceled if they contain juridical defects caused by several things: inability to act and disagree or disagree in making them. It is different from a deed that can be canceled because in the process of making it it does not meet the subjective elements as stated in Article 1320 paragraphs (1) and (2) of the Civil Code. As legal subjects, humans cannot be separated from things called legal actions and what humans often do in carrying out their lives is making transactions. In conducting transactions, the parties cannot agree on an agreement. The agreement according to Article 1873 of the Civil Code is a follow-up agreement made in a separate deed that is contrary to the original deed, only providing evidence between the parties but does not apply to third parties with good intentions. Based on the legal requirements of the agreement in the form of a notarial deed, the two conditions for the validity of the agreement are not fulfilled, namely the existence of an agreement to bind oneself and a lawful cause. The legal consequences can be canceled or null and void by law
Money Laundering Practices and Singapore’s Steps Against Indonesian Tax Amnesty
No full textSingapore is a country that implements a foreign direct investment policy to advance its economy. The implementation of those policies is classified as a two-pronged sword because it also ensures the privacy and security of corrupt money investments from other countries. Because of this, many Indonesian citizens are involved in money laundering through investments in Singapore. There were cases of money laundering with the value reaching at least Rp 9,427 trillion Indonesian money in Singapore in 2016 alone. The question is why Singapore tried to mute and undermine Indonesian tax amnesty? The purpose of this paper is to find the causes of the problem. Theory and the concept that will be used by the writer are Foreign Direct Investment Theory by David K. Eitemen and Money Laundering Concept itself. This paper uses an explanative qualitative method, and a literature study to obtain the data to strengthen this paper. Based on the case and the problem, the author concluded that the economy of Singapore will be threatened by the Indonesian Tax Amnesty policy, although not majorly, considering that even though they are a country of investment, they have a strong economy, to begin with
