Proper functions of Agni (fire) in the body signify good health of the individual while an abnormal state leads to manifestations of diseases. The word Jatara means Udara (abdomen) and the Agni located in Jatara is Jataragni (digestive fire) and its Pramana (quantity) differs in each organism. There are various anatomical structures relat- ed to Jataragni that contribute towards its normal functioning. The physiological process of digestion and metab- olism including biophysical and biochemical changes in the ingested food is carried out by the influence of Jata- ragni. It also influences the status of Dosha, Dhatu and Mala in the body. The objective of this study is to know the anatomical and physiological aspects of Jataragni to understand the pathological states in the body. Keywords: Agni; Jataragni; Koshtanga; Grahani.

The article discusses the analogies between the formation of humanity as a collective subject, and the modern process of forming artificial intelligence, which should also have the features of a collective subject. It is shown that attempts to rely solely on the study of individual intelligence are unproductive. The isomorphism of anthroposociogenesis and the creation of AI is motivated by the following: AI is created by human civilization - therefore, its thinking will reproduce both the features of individual intelligence and the features of civilization that ensure the socialization of the individual. The problem of copying consciousness is difficult to analyze, therefore, the formation of subjectivity is considered. A technosubject is a collection of devices and programs that can determine their own future. It has been established that the bio-genetic law acts as a vector for the evolutionary variability of technical devices and sets the boundary conditions that must be met in the process of becoming a techno-subject. Copying the process of the emergence of the human mind and at the same time the practice of society in the accumulation and processing of information shows the path of development. Since now all functional mechanisms of the development of the mind and consciousness have not been revealed, it is necessary to correlate the new, computer mind with the form, with the external manifestations of the previous, natural, intelligence. There are also differences between these processes: 1) in comparison with the formation of human intelligence, the formation of AI is more reflexive, conscious, 2) the fundamentally different physicality of AI, due to the transfer of a large amount of information between machines, 3) the formation of techno-subject can be completely different in speed, since the learning ability of neural networks can exceed the learning ability of a person. Now, technological structures for storing information that we perceive in a socio-technological context can become elements of the body of a new subject. The Internet of things shows the possibility of a fundamentally new physicality, and communications in it are equivalent to unconscious biochemical processes in the human body. At the same time, copying the forms of the human body is redundant, but copying of manipulators and robot operators that can interact with the infrastructure created by man is necessary. It is shown that the Internet as a whole, as a single system, in modern conditions cannot become an AI carrier, it is more a medium than a subject. The carriers of AI should be the structural units of the technosphere, which will become the spokesmen of those contradictions that are sources of development. Probably, these will be technocenoses that will strive to achieve autotrophy, which will require extremely clear goal-setting from them, and, as a result, will lead them to the status of a techno-subject.

Important research task is to find the integral criterion of rapid assessment the person's functional state and its current changes. Used for this purpose, the traditional methods do not always provide a complete and easy-to-interpret description of this subject. The methods of determining the functional state by a measuring skin conductance and existing rules for processing the results are considered here. Is illustrated a strategy for determining the functional state by electrocutaneous characteristics of acupuncture points, or micro-zones.<p>The investigation of human functional state by measuring the electrocutaneous characteristics of micro-zones led to the discovery of the phenomenon of the stability of the average value of the conductivity in electrodermal acupuncture “meridians source-point”. Mutual relations between the average values of the individual electrocutaneous characteristics in micro-zones turned out to be a stable and persist over time. Electrocutaneous characteristics of micro-zones reflect the current functional state of a person, so their measurement can be used to find the relative change in the condition of the person in the course of any activity.<br />The functional state of a person depends on the season, the degree of fatigue, has gender differences.<br />The proposed method of processing the measurements of the electrocutaneous characteristics in micro-zones has novelty; it allows determining the relative changes in the status of the body individual systems, and to carry out the quantitative calculations of such changes.<br />Given the non-chaotic mutual relative distribution of electrocutaneous characteristics of micro-zones mean values, we can assume that the micro-zones actually exist; each of them has some informative parameters (like the teeth of the ECG) and are functional reflections of skin -and- visceral connections. Probably it is a representation of one more regulatory system of an organism.</p>

Nowadays, our sedentary lifestyle is causing many metabolic diseases, and everyone is trying to understand the importance of Langhana (fasting) therapy today for its prevention. In another way, not only India but also western countries recognize the importance of fasting in different ways. Ayurveda has already been mentioned in a detailed description and its advantages comprehensively. Autophagy is a normal physiological process in the body that deals with the destruction of cells by maintaining homeostasis or normal functioning by protein or Fat degradation. Similarly, Langhana (10 subtypes of fasting) therapy includes the digestion of metabolic toxins, removes the blockage of the channels, thereby aids in minimizing the diseases. This article it's been focused on the concept of Autophagy and its correlation with Pachana therapy which is a subtype of Langhana therapy inAyurveda. Keywords: Langhana, Pachana, Autophagy.

Ayurveda is science of life. Prevention and cure of disease is the aim of Ayurveda. Prakriti is one of the major Ayurvedic principles derived from the Veda, Purana, Upanishad, and Darshana. Prakriti in Ayurveda refers to an individual’s inherent nature; an inborn inclination that governs consciousness and activity. Prakriti is supposed to be fixed in every person. It is influenced by the status of Tridosha, at the time of union of ovum and sperm. Also, an individual's Prakriti is determined based on the predominance of any single or a combination of two or three Dosha. Every individual, like genetic coding, has a different combination and is thus a distinct entity. In Ayurvedic texts different Acharyas have described different features of Doshaj, Manasa, Bhautika & Jatyadi Prakriti. For fulfilling the aim of Ayurveda and alleviating disorders in diseased states, knowledge of an individual's constitution and status of Dosha is required, and with this knowledge, we can prevent and cure disease stages by managing the diet, physical activities, and psychological conditions of the individual. Prakriti also determine an individual's reaction to environmental circumstances, lifestyle choices, medications, and illness susceptibility, making it one of the earliest known concepts in preventive and personalized or genomic medicine. To understand the pattern of susceptibility of an individual to different diseases, selection of drugs, their dose, drug reaction to the body, disease prognosis, course, and preventive measures, Prakriti analysis is performed first, followed by Vikriti analysis. Hence, Prakriti emphasizes uniqueness and plays a significant role in disease prevention and cure, as well as maintaining a healthy body throughout one's life.

Summary Aim: The influence of physiological and pharmacological amounts of iodine on the uptake of radioiodine in the thyroid was examined in a 4-compartment model. This model allows equations to be derived describing the distribution of tracer iodine as a function of time. The aim of the study was to compare the predictions of the model with experimental data. Methods: Five euthyroid persons received stable iodine (200 μg, 10 mg). 1-123-uptake into the thyroid was measured with the Nal (Tl)-detector of a body counter under physiological conditions and after application of each dose of additional iodine. Actual measurements and predicted values were compared, taking into account the individual iodine supply as estimated from the thyroid uptake under physiological conditions and data from the literature. Results: Thyroid iodine uptake decreased from 80% under physiological conditions to 50% in individuals with very low iodine supply (15 μg/d) (n = 2). The uptake calculated from the model was 36%. Iodine uptake into the thyroid did not decrease in individuals with typical iodine supply, i.e. for Cologne 65-85 μg/d (n = 3). After application of 10 mg of stable iodine, uptake into the thyroid decreased in all individuals to about 5%, in accordance with the model calculations. Conclusion: Comparison of theoretical predictions with the measured values demonstrated that the model tested is well suited for describing the time course of iodine distribution and uptake within the body. It can now be used to study aspects of iodine metabolism relevant to the pharmacological administration of iodine which cannot be investigated experimentally in humans for ethical and technical reasons.

The cornerstone of any religion is its anthropological concept, which seeks to determine the essential orientations of man, to outline the ideological framework of its existence, to represent the idea of ​​its essence, purpose in earthly life. The main task of the religious system is the act of involving and subordinating man to the spiritual divine realm as the realm of the transcendental existence of God. Belief in the real presence of the latter implies a new understanding of oneself, which ultimately leads the religious individual to the desire to be involved in this transcendental existence, to have intimate relations with him, to have a consciousness inherent in God. Note that in this context, all human being is interpreted as a certain arena for this realization. Therefore, the religious life of the individual acquires the status of religious activity.

The nineteenth century introduced developments in science and medicine that made the eradication of pain conceivable for the first time. This new understanding of pain brought with it a complex set of moral and philosophical dilemmas. If pain serves no obvious purpose, how do we reconcile its existence with a well-ordered universe? Examining how writers of the day engaged with such questions, this book offers a compelling new literary and philosophical history of modern pain. The book provides close readings of novelists Charlotte Brontë and Thomas Hardy and political and natural philosophers John Stuart Mill, Harriet Martineau, and Charles Darwin, as well as a variety of medical, scientific, and popular writers of the Victorian age. The book explores how discussions of pain served as investigations into the status of persons and the nature and parameters of social life. No longer conceivable as divine trial or punishment, pain in the nineteenth century came to seem instead like a historical accident suggesting little or nothing about the individual who suffers. A landmark study of Victorian literature and the history of pain, the book shows how these writers came to see pain as a social as well as a personal problem. Rather than simply self-evident to the sufferer and unknowable to anyone else, pain was also understood to be produced between persons—and even, perhaps, by the fictions they read.

The current world situation is both frightening and alarming due to the massive disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The next few days are censorious as we need to be very precautious in our daily regimen as well as dietary habits. Ayurveda offers knowledge about food based on certain reasoning. Indecent food custom is the chief cause for the rising development of health disorders in the current era. In classical texts of Ayurveda, the concept of diet explained well, ranging from their natural sources, properties and specific utility in pathological as well as physiological manner. In this work, the review of the relevant literature of Ahara (Diet) was carried out from Charak Samhita and other texts, newspapers, articles, web page related to the same.  Every human being is unique with respect to his Prakriti (Physical and mental temperament), Agni (Digestive capacity), Koshtha  (Nature of bowel) etc. For that reason, the specificity of the individual should be kept in mind. Ahara, when consumed in the appropriate amount at the right moment following all Niyamas (Guidelines) given in Ayurveda texts, gives immunity and keeps the body in a healthy state during pandemics such as Covid-19. Ultimately, this will help the human body to maintain its strength for life. This article reviews the concept of diet viz. combination of foods, their quantity and quality, methods of preparation and processing, which are to be followed during pandemics and are essential in maintenance and endorsement of health and preclusion of diseases.
