 Abstract

This study uses a multimodal discourse analysis to examine how gender is portrayed in sports journalism within an Arab cultural framework. This research utilizes Halliday's systemic functional linguistics and Kress and van Leeuwen's framework for visual analysis to examine how the combination of textual and visual aspects in sports articles influences and strengthens gender norms. A dataset consisting of ten sports articles, showcasing a variety of sports and forms of coverage, was chosen from an Arab news website. The textual analysis primarily aims to find thematic, linguistic, and interpersonal themes, hence uncovering patterns in the portrayal of gender in written information. Visual analysis explores the prominence, presentation, and manner of representation to comprehend the focus and depiction of gender in images. The results suggest a notable inclination towards male athletes, who are commonly portrayed highlighting their athletic abilities, whereas female athletes are generally underrepresented or featured with an emphasis on their physical attractiveness or personal qualities rather than their sporting accomplishments. This discrepancy maintains conventional gender assumptions and undermines gender equity in sports. The study emphasizes the necessity of achieving a more just and proportionate portrayal in sports journalism, calling for the impartial inclusion of both male and female players. This research offers a thorough comprehension of how sports media influences society gender expectations by combining textual and visual analysis. The results emphasize the wider impact of sports media in influencing public opinions and advancing gender parity. Additional research is recommended to further investigate the interplay between various modalities in sports journalism in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of their combined influence on gender representation.

ABSTRACT Background: There is a growing interest in investigating the pathological and anatomical basis of psychiatric illness. The introduction of brain imaging technology revolutionized the study of psychiatric illnesses. The growing belief that endocrine abnormalities may underlie many mental conditions have led to increased use of imaging and hormonal assays in patients attending to psychiatric OPDs. To investigate whether Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis activation in psychosis is also associated with pituitary volume changes, measurement of the pituitary glands by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in patients experiencing their first episode of psychopathology is most suitable, when they are most likely to show HPA axis abnormalities. Objectives: ? To study the Pituitary volume in first episode of psychopathology using MRI and comparing the age and gender matched controls. ? Follow up MRI scan of psychiatric patients, to review Pituitary volume after 3 months or more and correlate with the final psychiatric diagnosis. Materials and methods: The study included 50 patients, with symptoms of psychiatric illness for the first time and presenting within one month of onset of illness 50 age and gender matched healthy controls. Both patients and controls were made to undergo MRI of the Brain. The patients underwent MRI of the brain twice, at initial presentation and again after 3 months. Results: ? There was significantly larger pituitary gland volume in the cases than the controls, irrespective of psychiatric diagnosis at first presentation. ? No significant differences were seen between Pituitary gland volumes at initial MRI and review MRI of the cases. Conclusion: There is a strong likelihood of HPA axis overactivity during initial phase of all mental disorders along with increased pituitary gland volumes. Further studies including hormonal assays and correlation with imaging are likely to provide further insight into neuroanatomical and pathological basis of psychiatric disorders.

Abstract: Pressure ulcers are the most common condition among palliative care patients at home care facilities and imposes significant Burdon on patients, relatives and caregivers. When the caregivers are knowledgeable about preventing pressure ulcers it will helps to avoid lot of discomforts for the patients. They place a vital role in preventing pressure ulcers. The Objectives of the present study was to evaluate the effect of planned health teaching programme on knowledge regarding care of pressure sore among caregivers of home-based palliative care patients. Quantitative research approach, pre experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adopted for the study. 30 caregivers are selected from different wards of Chalakudy Municipality by Purposive sampling technique. Analysis done by descriptive and inferential statistics. The result shows that mean posttest knowledge score (19.62) was highlysignificant than pretest knowledge score (13.65). The calculated t value (t=9.622) was higher than the table value (t=2.05) at 0.05 level of significance. Hence the findings of the study revealed that the planned health teaching programme was effective in improving the knowledge of caregivers of home-based palliative care patients

 Abstract

E-mail is the most common and used means of communication by individuals or institutions because it enables them to exchange data or information easy and quick. Phishers use e-mail to send phishing messages that enable them to deceive users and steal their personal information or data, including their bank account data, bank card passwords, which causes them a lot of harm and financial losses. Phishing e-mails are increasing menace, so it is necessary to block these e-mails at the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) or Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) level. In this study, the architecture of filter has been implemented after extracting important information from e-mail headers. By analyzing the important features of e-mails, they are classified according to rules and conditions framed. This filter is tested on five standard datasets: Enron, Public Phishing Corpus, SPAM Archive, CSDMC2010, and Spam Assassin. The average accuracy for individual dataset is 99.58%, 99.53%, 98.33%, 99.34% and 98.31% respectively and overall average accuracy achieved is 99.01%. Although blocking phishing e-mail based on e-mail header is old technique, but this will certainly reduce the load on different content-based filters. The approach discussed in this paper has significantly improved the accuracy up to 99.01% using header part of e-mail reported so far thus, it is encouraging and this would increase the accuracy of classification of phishing e-mails.

Shift work can disrupt the body's natural rhythm, causing physical and psychological changes for cabin crew. Recovery can take 1-2 weeks to a month, with an increased risk of health issues like hormonal imbalance, fatigue, and insomnia (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NIOSH). According to the World Health Organization shift work (including the kind of circadian rhythm disruption that cabin crew encounter) has the probability of causing cancer. The need to assist crew members in coping with psychological challenges is rising. Aviation psychology is a growing field that focuses on helping individuals manage their emotions, thoughts, and behavior, as well as addressing the challenges faced by crew members. The study aims to investigate the psychological challenges of cabin crew under high-pressure work environments, particularly focusing on circadian rhythm disruptions.

 Abstract

Ayurveda has given due importance to skin diseases since the era of Veda. Vicharchika is a disorder predominantly affecting the skin with presenting symptoms like Atikandu (excessive itching), Shyava Varnata (erythema with discolorations), Raji (thickening lichenification of skin), Ruja (Pain), Rukshata (dry lesion). Vicharchika can be correlated to eczema in modern science because of the clinical features. Eczema affects all the population irrespective to sex, age, socioeconomic status. Case summary: In the present study 30 patients were selected incidentally and placed randomly into two groups A and B, with 15 subjects in each group. Classical signs and symptoms form the main diagnostic criteria and also were studied for assessment criteria. Group A received Amapachana with Panchakoladi Churna, Abhyanga with Marichadi Taila, Nadi Swedana, Snehapana with KhadhiradiGhrita (Arohana Krama), Vamana with Madanapippali Yoga followed by Samsarjana Karma and Manjishtadi Kwatha, Panchatikta Ghrita Guggulu as Shamanoushadhi and Dineshavalyadi Taila for external application. Group B received Amapachana with Panchakoladi Churna, Abhyanga with Marichadi Taila, Nadi Swedana, Snehapana with Khadhiradi Ghrita (Arohana Karma), Virechana with Trivruth Lehya followed by Samsarjana Krama and Manjishtadi Kwatha, Panchatikta Ghrita Guggulu as Shamanoushadhi and Dineshavalyadi Taila for external application. In both the groups two months follow up was done. Assessment was done on the bases of symptomatology. In present study as per the clinical data, 'Vamana is more effective than Virechana Karma'.
