Otomycosis denotes diffuse otitis externa due to fungal infections. The fungii are usually secondary invaders of the tissue rendered susceptible by bacterial infection, physical injury or excessive accumulation of cerumen in the external auditory canal. Karnasraava means discharge from ear which can be correlated with otorrhoea. Karnasraava (discharge) is one of symptom of otomycosis. Arka Taila has been mentioned in Shaarangadhara is very simple formula having ingredients i.e. Haridraa (Curcuma longa), Arka Patra Swarasa (Calotropis procera) and Sarshapa Taila (Brassica campetries). The quality control parameters resulted after scientific evaluation of Arka Taila can be used as reference standard for quality control or quality assurance of a pharmaceutical industry in order to have a proper quality check over its preparation and processing.

This chapter describes methodological and design considerations central to the scientific evaluation of treatment efficacy and effectiveness. Matters of design, procedure, measurement, data analysis, and reporting are examined and discussed. The authors consider key concepts of controlled comparisons, random assignment, the use of treatment manuals, integrity and adherence checks, sample and setting selection, treatment transportability, handling missing data, assessing clinical significance, identifying mechanisms of change, and consolidated standards for communicating study findings to the scientific community. Examples from the treatment outcome literature are offered, and guidelines are suggested for conducting treatment evaluations that maximize both scientific rigor and clinical relevance.

Grounded in a design-based research approach, the aim of this article is to determine whether scientific evaluations help to (a) identify and fix problems in educational interventions and (b) eventually foster a more effective and positive evaluated intervention. Therefore, data from a longer-term evaluation of short digital simulation games about the European Parliament for civic education in schools were used. The data included three cycles of interventions with pre- and post-evaluations starting with the first prototype in 2015/2016 (n = 209), the second cycle in 2017/18 (n = 97), and the last one in 2019/20 (n = 222). After each evaluation, major problems and critiques regarding the simulation game were discussed with the developers, and changes were implemented in the game design. The four most important problems, the processes by which they were improved and the reactions of the participants in the following evaluations are pointed out in the article. A comparison of the last and first evaluation cycle showed an overall improvement of the simulation game regarding its effectiveness in transferring EU knowledge and the participants’ general satisfaction with the simulation game. This study underlines the value of the design-based research approach for developing educational interventions and can be useful for further work on civic education measures and the implementation of digital simulation games.

"The Clinical Decision Support (CDS), a form of artificial intelligence (AI), consider physician expertise and cognitive function along with patient’s data as the input and case-specific medical decision as an output. The improvements in physician’s performances when using a CDS ranges from 13% to 68%. The AI applications are of large interest nowadays, and a lot of effort is also put in the development of IT applications in healthcare. Medical decision support systems for non-medical staff users (MDSS-NMSF) as phone applications are nowadays available on the market. A MDSS-NMSF app is generally not accompanied by a scientific evaluation of the performances, even if they are freely available or not. Two clinical scenarios were created, and Doctor31 retrieved the diagnosis decisions. First scenario: man, 29 years old, and three symptoms: dysphagia, weight loss (normal body mass index), and tiredness. Second scenario: women, 47 years old with L5-S1 disk herniation, abnormal anti-TPO antibodies, lower back pain (burning sensations), constipation, and tiredness. The outcome possible effects and implications, as well as vulnerabilities induced on the used, are highlighted and discussed. "

The author in his article analyzes of the natural phenomenon that is reflected in oral legends named luu unzhikh (‘tornado’) on the materials of Mongolian Folklore samples and on the basis of the analysis of oral testimonies of the people who witnessed or heard about it, gives a scientific evaluation and specifies terminology. When analyzing the natural phenomenon that Mongols call luu unzhikh and reflect in legends it can be described as ‘a strong whirlwind that emerges in thundercloud, vertical to ground surface and sometimes detours irregular axis forming a vortex”.
