Irreversibility as a Structural Requirement for Meaningful Conscious Experience
No full textIrreversibility as a Structural Requirement for Meaningful Conscious Experience Author: Tushar Chaand Abstract This work proposes that meaningful conscious experience requires irreversible temporal constraint as a necessary structural condition. While physical theories often treat time asymmetry as emergent or secondary, lived experience exhibits a strict one-way temporal ordering without which consequence, responsibility, and narrative coherence collapse. By analyzing reversibility, memory continuity, and choice, this framework demonstrates that backward temporal traversal with memory continuity would eliminate meaning by erasing irreversible consequence. The theory is ontology-agnostic and remains compatible with physicalist, block-universe, multiverse, and simulation interpretations. Its contribution is to identify irreversibility not as a contingent feature of reality but as a functional requirement for any system capable of hosting meaningful experience. Core Claims 1. Conscious experience requires temporal ordering. 2. Meaning arises only when outcomes cannot be undone. 3. Memory continuity combined with reversibility collapses consequence. 4. Meaningful experience therefore requires irreversible temporal constraint. Axioms Axiom 1: Conscious experience requires sequential temporal structure. Axiom 2: Meaning requires irreversible outcomes within experience. Axiom 3: Memory continuity is necessary for learning, identity, and responsibility. Axiom 4: Backward temporal traversal with memory continuity eliminates meaning. Postulates Temporal asymmetry is experientially necessary. Irreversibility is local to conscious trajectories. Meaning is perspective-relative rather than globally defined. Ethical responsibility emerges from irreversible interaction. Falsifiability This framework would be weakened if meaningful conscious experience were demonstrated without temporal ordering, if backward time traversal preserved consequence, or if unlimited reversibility supported stable narrative identity. Conclusion Irreversibility is not a limitation imposed on experience but a structural requirement for meaning itself. Any reality capable of hosting meaningful conscious agents must enforce temporal asymmetry and excluded possibility, regardless of its underlying ontology

When anatomy mimics: broad ligament mimicry of neurofibroma
No full textSchawannoma aka neurilemmoma are encapsulated tumour which arise from the nerve sheaths. Pre sacral tumours are rare tumors which arise from the pre sacral space. It can be diagnosed with modality like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Sometime ultrasonography findings for broad ligament fibroid can mimic with neurofibroma. Patient with complaint of pain in abdomen should be evaluated. Surgical removal is treatment of choice for that
Tail gut cyst: laparoscopic removal - a case report
No full textA tailgut cyst, also known as a retro rectal cystic hamartoma, is a rare, congenital cyst arising from remnants of the embryonic hindgut. We hereby presented a case report of a 53 years old lady who had undergone hysterectomy in 2010 and laparoscopic tailgut cyst removal in 2023 and came with backache and constipation since 1.5 years. She was thoroughly evaluated for the same and underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showing a well-defined multiloculated cystic lesion with no involvement of adjacent pelvic organs and sacral nerve roots. She underwent laparoscopic tailgut cystectomy. Postoperatively patient was relieved of her signs and symptoms.
Understanding drought propagation and its implications for drought management
No full textDroughts have been recognized as one of the most complex natural disasters, especially because they involve interactions between numerous climatological, hydrological and human processes. During a drought event, deficits in precipitation gradually translate into deficits in soil moisture, streamflow, and aquifer and reservoir storages, and eventually result in deficits in water supply for meeting human and environmental requirements. This translation process is known as drought propagation. The drought propagation mechanism of a region is influenced by its climate, watershed and human water use characteristics. Different drought propagation mechanisms from meteorological drought to hydrological drought and to agricultural and water supply drought can result in very different outcomes in terms of magnitude and duration of deficits in water availability during droughts. The objective of this dissertation is to understand drought propagation mechanisms and their controlling factors in different regions of the contiguous US (CONUS), and to provide a holistic framework for the assessment of drought impacts on natural and human systems. The first part of the dissertation focuses on meteorological droughts, which are defined as periods with deficient rainfall. The spatial and temporal patterns of multi-decadal variability of meteorological droughts are analyzed to quantify the non-stationarity in meteorological drought risk. Furthermore, the regional drivers of multi-decadal variability are identified for the assessment of meteorological drought risk in the near future. The second part of the dissertation focusses on hydrologic droughts, which are defined as periods with water deficits in streams and aquifers. The propagation of meteorological to hydrologic droughts is studied to understand how both climate and watershed properties contribute to different characteristics of hydrologic droughts in different regions. By taking the drought propagation mechanisms into consideration, the third part of the dissertation evaluates the impact of droughts on water supply systems in the CONUS and explores how the management of surface and groundwater resources in different regions can be improved. Finally, the understanding of drought propagation mechanisms is applied for identifying hotspots of drought impacts on natural and human systems in the CONUS and for providing insights for regional drought risk mitigation in the near future.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2022-08-01The student, Tushar Apurv, accepted the attached license on 2020-07-07 at 10:57.The student, Tushar Apurv, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-07-07 at 11:16.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-07-09 at 15:01.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15509 on 2020-10-02 at 15:31:27Made available in DSpace on 2020-10-07T22:44:25Z (GMT).

A scar that cycles: unmasking episiotomy site endometriosis: a case report
No full textEndometriosis is a condition characterised by occurrence of endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity and when it appears at the previous scar site like episiotomy scar, caesarean scar or laparoscopic port incision scar sites, it is called extrapelvic or cutaneous endometriosis. Here we present a case of 31-year-old lady who had vaginal delivery with episiotomy scar 6 years ago. She presented at our center with cyclical pain at the episiotomy scar site and a hard nodular mass of 3×4 cm was found at the episiotomy site. She underwent complete excision of mass after thorough examination and imaging. The hsitopathology report confirmed the diagnosis. Hence, we knew that the definitive treatment of episiotomy scar site endometriosis is surgical and medical management has no role
When endometriosis returns: managing vault involvement after hysterectomy: a case report
No full textVault endometriosis is a rare but quite challenging condition occurring in post-hysterectomy patients. Minimally invasive surgery remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and management of such cases. We hereby present a case report of a 41-year-old lady who had undergone total laparoscopic hysterectomy 12 years ago and came with irregular vaginal bleeding since 7 to 8 years. She was thoroughly evaluated for the same and underwent biopsy of the growth over the vault, which was suggestive of endometriosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done to rule out involvement of the bladder and rectum. She underwent elective laparoscopic excision of an endometriotic nodule over the vault and bladder serosal shaving. Postoperatively patient was relieved of her signs and symptoms
Regulation of shale gas development : an argument for state preeminence with federal support
No full textThesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2012.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 106-118).Shale gas development has become big business in the United States during the past decade, introducing drilling to parts of the country that have not seen it in decades and provoking an accelerating shift in the country's energy profile. State governments, which have historically regulated the oil and gas industry and continue to do so today, were in many cases caught by surprise by the speed and the scale of the shale gas boom and are still trying to update and adapt their regulatory practices to respond to the impacts that shale gas development is causing in communities in their states. In some instances, these impacts have included groundwater and surface water contamination, air pollution, exploded homes, and damage to wetlands and other habitats, among other impacts. Shale gas development has also created jobs, brought economic development to distressed communities, lowered fuel costs, and has begun to supplant coal in the nation's electricity supply. The thesis seeks to understand whether primary regulatory authority over shale gas development should rest with the states or with the federal government. In answering this question, the author applies theory from the field of regulatory federalism to the practice of shale gas development to ascertain whether the federal government or state governments are best suited to regulate shale gas development. Grounding the analysis in both regulations as-written and as-applied in a number of states that have active shale gas industries, the author uses four key criteria to gauge whether regulatory authority should rest with the central government or with the states. These four criteria are: the geographic distribution of costs and benefits associated with shale gas development; regulatory capacity at the federal level and at the state level; which level can better foster innovation, flexibility, and adaptability; and which level can better provide efficiency, certainty, and stability. The analysis finds that, in most cases, states are better situated than the federal government to regulate shale gas development on the basis of each of the four criteria. The author also subjects current regulatory practice to a two-part test to determine whether regulatory failure is currently occurring that would compel the federal government to assume regulatory authority. The results from this test are negative. The author concludes that primary regulatory authority over shale gas development should remain with state governments. Finally, the author provides four policy recommendations, two each to state governments and to the federal government, to improve regulatory practice and outcomes in the future.by Tushar Kansal.M.C.P
