Ayurveda is the science of life and longevity. Its main objective is to maintain the normal health of individuals and secondary is the cure of diseases. For maintaining health it advocates the wholesome diet and proper daily routine. If any disturbance occurs in health condition of individual it then advocates the medicines for cure. The medicines are of herbal, mineral and herbo-mineral in origin. Bhasmas are unique Ayurvedic preparations of metals/minerals formulated with herbal extracts or juices and used for the treatment of a variety of ailments. Bhasma is prepared by incinerating the metals and minerals. For incineration classical and modern methods are used. The Classical Method of Bhasma preparation is Puta and modern method is Electric Muffle Furnace. The herbal juices are used for levigation of powders of metals and minerals. Owing to their micro/ nano fineness, ease of administration and comparatively small dose, they have been known for their wide area of application and therapeutic value. Kasisa is mineral of Iron. It is placed under Uprasa in Rasashastra. Its Bhasma is widely used in different ailments. It is used in the treatment of Agnimandya, Arsha, Kashtartava, Gudabhramsha, Pandu, Shotha, Rajorodha, Yonivyapada. In the present study Kasisa bhasma was prepared as per the reference of Rasamruta and analysed using classical parameters.

ABSTRACTIt is now commonplace that secrecy must be truly enhanced and tightened as it weighs the emergence of the latest technology that is growing rapidly. Of course an agency, group, or individual have data that is confidential and do not want to be known by other parties hence the need for a system capable of securing the data. For this reason this research aims to create Cryptography application by applying a combination of Hill Cipher and RSA algorithm, Cryptography is also called coding language and I apply Hill Cipher because it is a classical method that uses multiplication for each encoded character while RSA is a modern method that has 2 keys ie key public and secret key where the public key is used for encryption and secret key to retranslate the original form. By applying a combination of classical and modern methods it can be more secure so it is more difficult to be solved by unwanted parties.Keyword : Data Security, Cryptography, Hill Cipher, RSAABSTRAKDi masa sekarang sudah menjadi hal yang biasa bahwa kerahasiaan harus benar – benar ditingkatkan dan diperketat karena menimbang kemunculan teknologi terbaru yang semakin pesat berkembang. Tentu sebuah Instansi, kelompok, ataupun individu memiliki data yang bersifat rahasia dan tidak ingin diketahui oleh pihak lain maka dari itu diperlukannya system yang mampu mengamankan data tersebut. Untuk itulah penelitian ini bertujuan membuat aplikasi Kriptografi dengan menerapkan kombinasi Algoritma Hill Cipher dan RSA, Kriptografi juga disebut bahasa persandian dan saya menerapkan Hill Cipher karena merupakan metode klasik yang menggunakan perkalian untuk tiap karakter yang disandikan sedangkan RSA adalah metode modern yang memiliki 2 kunci yaitu kunci publik dan kunci rahasia dimana kunci publik digunakan untuk penyandian dan kunci rahasia untuk menterjemahkan kembali k bentuk asli. Dengan menerapkan kombinasi metode klasik dan modern ini dapat lebih mengamankan sehingga lebih sulit untuk dapat di pecahkan oleh pihak – pihak yang tidak diinginkan.Kata Kunci : Pengamanan Data, Kriptografi, Hill Cipher, RSA.

Abstract Two modern methods, centroid sampling and the paracone model, have been shown to be accurate approaches for obtaining the volumes of trees and logs when taper functions are unavailable or local volume estimates are desired. We show that the equation for whole-tree volume using Hossfeld's method, an older method that has all but disappeared from the North American literature, is nearly identical to that for centroid sampling and the paracone model. Hossfeld's method may be slightly simpler to implement in the field, and like the modern methods, it can be used either for whole trees or for unmerchantable tops. In comparison with detailed measurements taken on 186 ponderosa pine trees from the Black Hills of South Dakota, the paracone model was most accurate for whole trees, but Hossfeld's method was slightly more accurate than centroid sampling. Hossfeld's method was substantially more accurate than either modern method for estimating the volume in tops.

Women In India

Since the inception of the National Programme for Family Planning, messages on family planning (FP) have been promoted across India using different mass media platforms. Mass media plays an important role in disseminating important information among the masses, such as how reversible modern methods give women more reproductive choices than opting for permanent methods that limit their child-bearing capacity. Mass media can provide a continuous flow of information and motivation to deter women from discontinuing the methods they have opted for. However, very few studies have been conducted on this issue, especially using recently available data. This study particularly focuses on exposure to mass media and the use of reversible modern methods of family planning among married women in India. The data for this study was obtained from the National Family Health Survey (2015–16) on currently married women aged 15–49 years. The association of reversible modern method use with media exposure variables was examined, controlling for a set of independent variables from multiple levels—individual, district, state, and region. The findings from this study showed that television was the most important medium for disseminating information on FP among married women in India. Spatial analysis revealed that some districts in the north, parts of the northeast, and Kerala in South India lacked any television exposure. The results from the decomposition analysis showed that mass media exposure was associated with a 14% increase in the use of reversible modern methods. Results from the multilevel analyses showed that exposure to TV along with other media (AOR 1.57 95% CI 1.49–1.65) and exposure to FP messages through different media (AOR 1.22 95% CI 1.12–1.32) had a significant positive effect on the use of reversible modern methods even when various individual, district, state, and regional-level factors were controlled. The findings of this paper provide evidence supporting the use of mass media to promote and increase awareness of voluntary contraceptive use in India. An increase in mass media exposure coupled with improvement in coverage and services of the FP program can significantly increase the use of reversible modern methods in a cost-effective yet efficient manner among women in need of FP services.

Abstract Introduction : Women who use contraceptive methods sometimes stop early, use methods intermittently or switched contraceptive methods. All these events (discontinuations and switching) contribute to the occurrence of unwanted and close pregnancies. This study aimed to explore contraceptive discontinuation and switching during the Yam-Daabo project to measure the effect of interventions on the continuation of contraceptive methods use.Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of the Yam-Daabo trial data. We choose the discontinuation and switching of a modern contraceptive method as outcome measures. We performed a survival analysis by using the Stata software package to estimate the effect of the interventions on contraceptive discontinuation. We also studied the main reasons for discontinuation and switching.Results: In total, 637 out of the 1,120 women used at least one contraceptive method (of any type), with 267 women in the control and 370 in the intervention group. Modern methods were used by 179 women of control group compared to 279 women of intervention group with 24 and 32 who discontinued, respectively. We observed no statistically significant association between interventions and modern methods discontinuation and switching. However, the discontinuation of modern methods was higher in pills and injectables users than implants and IUDs users. The pooled data comparison showed that, in reference to the women who had not switched while using a modern method, the likelihood of switching to a less or equal effectiveness method among the women of the control group was 3.8(95% CI: 1.8-8.0) times the likelihood of switching to a less or equal effectiveness method among the women of the intervention group. And this excess was statistically significant (p<0.001). The main reason for discontinuation and switching was method-related (141 over 199), followed by partner opposition with 20 women.Conclusion: The results of this study show no statistically significant association between interventions and modern methods discontinuation. Discontinuation is more related to the methods themselves than to any other factor. It is also important to set up specific actions targeting women's partners and influential people in the community to counter inhibiting beliefs.Trial registration: Pan African Clinical Trials Registry (PACTR201609001784334, https://pactr.samrc.ac.za/TrialDisplay.aspx?TrialID=1784).

ObjectivesThe study aimed to assess the determinants of modern contraceptive method use among young women in Benin.DesignA mixed-methods design.Setting and participantsWe used the Benin 2017–2018 Demographic and Health Survey datasets for quantitative analysis. Data collection was conducted using multiple-cluster sampling method and through household survey. Qualitative part was conducted in the city of Allada, one of the Fon cultural capitals in Benin. The participants were purposively selected.OutcomesContraceptive prevalence rate, unmet need for modern method and percentage of demand satisfied by a modern method for currently married and sexually active unmarried women were measured in the quantitative part. Access barriers and utilisation of modern methods were assessed in the qualitative part.ResultsOverall, 8.5% (95% CI 7.7% to 9.5%) among young women ages 15–24 were using modern contraceptives and 13% (12.1% to 14.0%) among women ages 25 or more. Women 15–24 had a higher unmet need, and a lower demand satisfied by modern contraceptive methods compared with women ages 25 or more. 60.8% (56.9% to 64.7%) of all unmarried young women had unmet need for modern contraceptives. Young women were more likely to use male condoms which they obtain mainly from for-profit outlets, pharmacies and relatives. The factors associated with demand satisfied by a modern method were literacy, being unmarried, knowing a greater number of modern contraceptive methods and experiencing barriers in access to health services. On the other hand, the qualitative study found that barriers to using modern methods include community norms about pre-marital sexual intercourse, perceptions about young women’s fertility, spousal consent and the use of non-modern contraceptives.ConclusionContraceptive use is low among young women in Benin. The use of modern contraceptives is influenced by sociodemographic factors and social norms. Appropriate interventions might promote comprehensive sexuality education, increase community engagement, provide youth-friendly services and address gender inequalities.

Currently, there are a number of approaches to learning to shoot small arms. The main ones are: the classic method of training shooters and the modern method of training shooters using innovative technical means of training. In order to study the effect of using a laser shooting simulator in the educational process in comparison with the classical method of training, an experimental study was conducted. The experimental study was conducted with 9-mm Makarov pistols with two controlled groups of servicemen, who have approximately the same level of fire training, but each group was trained in different training methods. The first group learned the technique of firing a pistol using an interactive laser shooting range "Ruby" under the guidance of a fire training instructor. The second group trained under the guidance of a teacher according to the classical method, using training pistols. After the end of each stage of preparation, control shootings were carried out. Control firing with groups was carried out in the multimedia interactive shooting range "Ingul" for combat weapons. The results of the shooting show that the number of unsatisfactory grades of the first group was 2.5 times less than in the second group, which studied according to standard methods. The rest of the evaluation indicators are approximately the same and the difference between them is insignificant. Such a large difference in unsatisfactory assessments is explained by the fact that the first group at the initial stage of training saw the visual results of their shooting and had the opportunity to correct errors in shooting technique during training. Such timely correction of shooting technique errors with visual display of shooting results in real time and repetition of the exercise with information about the number of hits and misses forms solid skills of high-speed shooting. This is evidenced by twice as many excellent scores obtained by the first group comparing to the second group during the control shootings in the second stage of the experiment. Thus, the study showed that the use of modern technical learning tools based on interactive multimedia technologies increases the positive results of shooting by 15 - 20% and allows: ‒ increasing the number of students in the school by 1.5 times; ‒ reducing the time for training shooters by 2 times, ‒ reducing the consumption of ammunition to perform exercises of initial and combat shooting by 2.5 times.

Method: This review accomplishes using PubMed, Science Direct, and Google scholar. After reading the titles and abstracts, 2.718 works of literature screens for this review, content analysis performs. Results: Human normal salivary microbiomes consist of yeast, gram-positive, and gramnegative bacteria. A commensal microbial community founds in healthy people. An opportunist microbial community establishes in unhealthy people. It is essential to note an association between the opportunist microbiome composition with the personal health condition. Specific opportunist microbiome relates to particular diseases, such as diabetes, respiratory diseases, cancer, autoimmune, and viral infections. Even is different results of the conventional method and the modern methods (metagenomic analysis), both approaches can determine the presence of specific opportunist salivary microbiome concerning certain systemic diseases. Conclusion: Salivary microbiome composition can be a biomarker for people's health conditions and various systemic diseases. Both conventional methods and the modern method can be used complementarily for biomarker determination.
