"Comparison of constraint induced movement therapy and isokinetic strength training on knee extensors in patients with stroke"
No full textIndividuals suffering from stroke have poor strength of knee extensor musculature which may affect the gait performance and balance. The variety of interventions for the strengthening of knee extensors in stroke population is scarce. Treatment options should be formulated and established to strengthen the quadriceps muscles for improving gait and balance of the stroke survivors. Isokinetic strength training and CIMT has been proven effective treatment option in improving gait performance, balance and muscular strength among different dependent variable and population. This is the first known literature focusing on comparing the individual effect of both the interventions on muscle strength among stroke patients. Hence, with this study, the intervention with better results will come into clinical practice
The Light We Give: Sikh Wisdom for Cultivating Empathy and Justice
No full textGrowing up in South Texas, Dr. Simran Jeet Singh and his brothers confronted racism daily. As a turbaned, bearded, brown-skinned Sikh, he continued to face prejudice and hate in college and beyond. Simran chose to be defined not by the negativity that often surrounded him but by the Sikh teachings of love and justice that he grew up with. Delving deep into these core tenets of Sikh wisdom, he has sought to embrace an outlook that guides us to see the good in everyone and to forge a path of positivity, connection, and service—a way of life that so many of us are seeking in today’s world.
We all say that we choose love over hate. But when tested, we realize that it’s easier said than done and that our empathy for others is not rooted deeply enough. As a turbaned and bearded Sikh man, Simran has been subjected to racism his whole life. He has been working on the frontlines of hate violence for more than a decade. And yet, he has managed to avoid falling into the toxic trap of hate and anger. In this lecture, drawing on his recent book The Light We Give, he will draw from his personal experiences and from hate incidents he has witnessed firsthand to share the wisdom he has gained on what it really takes to choose love over hate.
Simran Jeet Singh, Ph.D., is the Executive Director of the Religion & Society Program at the Aspen Institute and the author of the national bestseller The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life (Riverhead, Penguin Random House).

Tilbakemeldinger som en prosedyre for å unngå å havne i bekreftelsesfellen
No full textAtferdsvitenskap er studiet om at mennesker og dyr oppfører seg på bestemte måter grunnet ulike hendelser i omgivelsene. Blant annet det at ulike hendelser i miljøet fører til at det er større sannsynlighet for at individet gjør en spesifikk handling, dersom denne handlingen har vist seg å være effektiv i fortiden. I denne oppgaven vil ulike studier som har fokusert på å redusere tendensen til å havne i bekreftelsesfellen gjennomgås, og en atferdsanalytisk tilnærming til dette fenomenet vil bli beskrevet. Et eksperiment der to ulike typer tilbakemeldinger ble gitt for å redusere sannsynligheten for å havne i bekreftelsesfellen beskrives. To ulike grupper ble utsatt for to ulike former for tilbakemeldinger. Deltagerne fikk presentert noen påstander, og skulle deretter velge hva slags kort som passet til påstanden, og eksperimentet tar utgangspunkt i Wason sin utvelgelsesoppgave. En gruppe fikk først kun tilbakemeldinger i form av riktig eller galt, og deretter forklarende tilbakemeldinger, mens den andre gruppen fikk forklarende tilbakemeldinger først og deretter enkle tilbakemeldinger. Resultatene viste en klar reduksjon i forekomst av bekreftelsesfellen hos gruppa som først mottok konkrete tilbakemeldinger. En deltager i gruppa som først mottok enkle tilbakemeldinger og deretter konkrete tilbakemeldinger viste generaliserte tilbakemeldinger og to deltagere i gruppa som først mottok konkrete tilbakemeldinger viste generaliserte ferdigheter

Critical Anaylsis on the Effects of Triple Talaq, the Plight of Women, its Impact on the Society Muslim Community
No full textToday, the issues of women rights in muslim personal law is highly controversial. Specially, muslim women rights relating to triple talaq, inheritance, maintenance has got much attention nowadays. A muslim man can divorce his wife by prouncing three times talaq. When husband clearly mentions it is called as express talaq. After that husband and wife cannot be together back until wife marries someone else. The legal decisions are based on the norms mentioned in quaran therefore, certain anomalies need to be eradicated by giving true essence of holy quaran for the benefit of muslim women's right. There is three types of talaq namely, unlike other religion marriage is viewed as sacrament but, under, muslim law it is civil and social contract. Talaq ul sunnat sanctioned by prophet is sub divided into Talaq e ehsan, Talaq hasan, Talaq e biddat. The current debate on triple talaq, centred on the Sharaya Bano and several other petitions which considers no aspect of Islamic personal laws which amounts to violate the spirit of constitution. The whole triple talaq has become a battleground for the culture vs social debate. In this paper the author deals with the question of triple talaq in the light of the recent petition filed in the Supreme Court for declaring such talaq invalid. The author argues that there is an already existing legal precedent established by the apex court with respect triple talaq which should be followed instead of resorting in aggressive approach which may become dominant to muslim women themselves. This research paper analyze to attempt the on going implications on triple talaq, muslim personal law and solutions to empower muslim women.

EFFECT OF LYSINE AND SODIUM BUTYRATE SUPPLEMENTATION ON METABOLIC PROFILE AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF BUFFALO CALVES
No full textThe present study was designed to support the calf growth during winter season with supplementation of crude protein, lysine (the essential amino acid) and sodium butyrate (acidifier) in the calf starter. 15 apparently healthy and infection free buffalo calves above 2 weeks of age were randomly divided into three groups: Group 1: calves were fed calf starter (20% CP), Group 2: calves were fed calf starter (20% CP) + lysine 100 g/100 kg calf starter, Group 3: calves were fed calf starter (20% CP) + lysine 100 g/100 kg calf starter + sodium butyrate -0.3%. Lysine and sodium butyrate were supplemented for 2 months. Group 3 calves (supplemented with lysine and sodium butyrate) exhibited significantly higher body weight value, withers height, length and heart girth as compared to Group 1 calves (Control). The data revealed no significant (P<0.05) effect of sodium butyrate and lysine on Hb, PCV, Liver function tests (Bilirubin, AST, ALT, ALKP, GGT) and Kidney function tests (BUN, Creatinine), total protein, glucose, sodium, chloride, potassium, plasma osmolality and total immunoglobulins
