Anterograde amnesia is the inability to acquire and retain new information. Amnesia has an incidence of 5 per 1,00,000 population per year. It usually effects patients between the age of 40 and 60 years, at an average age of 61 years. The disease anterograde amnesia and smriti Vibhrams are similar in their etiology, sign and symptoms. Smriti Vibhrams refers to a state characterized by deviation from normalcy this means either reduced memory or selective memory. In this case a 36-year-old male having chief complained is unable to retain knowledge, poor concentration and disremembering. Neurological exam and psychological test have been done for the proper diagnosis. With the help of this we diagnosed Anterograde amnesia vis-à-vis Smriti Vibhrams. Treatment includes Sadhyovamana, Classical Virechana, Pratimarsha nasya and oral medications. The treatment was found to be good in Anterograde amnesia. Patient got 40-50% relief. This was a single case study, and a single case study may not be sufficient enough to prove significance of any treatment, but it gives an idea for the line of treatment to be adopted in such cases.

Positive Effect

Interest in offering Entrepreneurship Education (EE) to all kinds of university students is increasing. Therefore, universities are increasing the number of entrepreneurship courses intended for students from different fields of study and with different education levels. Through a single case study of the Contamination Lab of Turin (CLabTo), we suggest how EE may be taught to all kinds of university students. We have combined design methods with EE to create a practical-oriented entrepreneurship course which allows students to work in transdisciplinary teams through a learning-by-doing approach on real-life projects. Professors from different departments have been included to create a multidisciplinary environment. We have drawn on programme assessment data, including pre- and post-surveys. Overall, we have found a positive effect of the programme on the students’ entrepreneurial skills. However, when the data was broken down according to the students’ fields of study and education levels, mixed results emerged.

Purpose-This paper examines the nature of services and processes of business incubation. Its specific objectives are to establish the nature of services offered by business incubation centers in Uganda, examine the incubation process and to establish the perception of business incu- batees about business incubation services using a case of FinAfrica a private social enterprise. Methodology-This paper presents findings from one incubation center FinAfrica as a case study. Ethnographic design is adopted while observation and interview methods are used to collect data. Results-Key services offered by FinAfrica incubation center include entrepreneurial training, provision of office space, legal and accounting services, mentoring, coaching, entrepreneurial networks and general office administration. The centre has a unique business incubation model which starts with motivating people to start businesses, capacity building, business registration, and ends with graduation after attaining capability for self-sustainability. Incubatees perceive the services offered by the incubation centre as helpful through training, affordable office space, entrepreneurial ecosystem and opportunities for a lean startup. Implications- While this study does not offer statistical inferences for generalisation because of the qualitative design and single case, the exploration of FinAfrica provides insights about how Incubation centers need to plan for positive and sustainable entrepreneurial impact for startups. There is need for more Government and other development partners’ involvement in business incubation and post incubation support for competiveness and growth. Originality/value- This study provides insights about the key services offered in the incubation process and provides insights into the perceived benefits of business incubation. It also contributes to literature about business incubation with practical evidence from an emerging economy whose focus is on private sector development and innovation promotion.
