    Man has undergone various development since he appeared in the world. When man thought about the environment he lived in, about himself, the thoughts about the appearance of the world, the appearance of life, birth and death he understood that there is something beyond man’s power and that is God. He began to think about it deeply with nature and as a result worship of God arose based on feelings of fear, struggle and gratitude. The worship that emerged thus tended to worship nature first and then from first sense to sixth sense things. In this case, the Tamil community divided land and time according to the environment they lived in and created a mythology that predicts life and worshiped different deities. Then they built temple for these deities, followed proper rituals and worshipped them

    The experimental formulation Mupoora chenduram has been chosen for our dissertation work described based on Anuboga vaithya navaneedham(part IV). The formulation prepared with ingredients of Pooram(Mercurous chloride), Lingam(Cinnabar), Rasachenduram(Red sulphide of mercury). The chosen formulation has been prescribed for Suram(Fever), Meganoi(Venereal disease), Gunmam(Peptic ulcer) in the Siddha system of medicine since time memorial ago. The aim of the research work was to study the safety of the experimental formulation by acute and 28 days Repeated Oral toxicity studies in the animal models. The ingredients of the preparation were purchased from a standard raw drug markets. All the individual components have been purified as per the Siddha literature and the formulation was prepared in NIS Gunapadam lab. Mupoora chenduram was analysed qualitatively, quantitatively and evaluate safety by acute and 28 days Repeated Oral toxicity studies. Initially the test drug was subjected to physicochemical analysis. It has given the pH and purity of the drug. Then the samples were analysed for chemical constituents. It reveals that the presence of important minerals. The ICP-OES results showed the variation in the elemental content of before and after purified samples. And the test drug showed a drastic reduction in mercury and phosphorus level compared to its raw materials. HR-SEM analyses indicates the easy absorption of the drug . The FTIR analysis indicates the fine purification & preparation was done in the assignment. The toxicological evaluations were conducted as per OECD guidelines. In Acute toxicity study there was no abnormal signs and mortality at dose levels(5mg/animal,50mg/animal,300mg/animal).Mortality was observed at dose level of 2000mg/animal. Long term toxicity study revealed that there was no significant change in body weight, water and food intake, hematological and bio chemical parameters. The histopathological study revealed the spleen shows congested red pulp at low dose, mid dose, high dose levels, the kidney shows intracytoplasmic vaculation at mid dose level and focal area of haemorrhages at high dose level. CONCLUSION: In siddha system the method of purification and preparation prescribed in the literature shows tremendous change in the chemical composition. Toxicity studies, Qualitative and quantitative analysis indicates the the Mupoora chenduram was highly safe in Thereapeutic value which is mentioned in literature.The quantitative analysis shows the proof by the drastic reduction in ppm levels of Mercury and Phosphorous in Mupoora chenduram,results of other quantitative analysis were normal. Based on these results it can be concluded that, the dose level of Mupoora chenduram 130 mg (kundriyalavu) mentioned in the Siddha Literature (Anuboga vaithiya navaneedham,part-IV)is the safety dose for human consumption.

    Entrepreneurship plays a vital role in the process of wealth creation and improving the standard of living of the people through large-scale employment generation. So this study aims to identify the critical factors among the entrepreneurial framework conditions (EFC) and entrepreneurial behaviour and attitudes (EBAA) in enhancing the entrepreneurship climate in the United States of America (USA), China and India. The data for the study is collected from GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor) on EBAA and EFC. Exploratory factor analysis was attempted initially to reduce the EBAA and EFC data into manageable factors. Further, confirmatory factor analysis was attempted to cross-validate the results. Key Points: • The results unveil that the Public conditions and Business Promotions (EFC) in the USA are superior to India and China. At the same time, India lags behind both the USA and China. • Indian entrepreneurs are more optimistic and audacious than their Chinese counterparts. • The future of entrepreneurship in India depends on what measures the Government adopts today to strengthen the entrepreneurship framework conditions

    Effect of exercise on diastasis recti abdominis among the primiparous women: a quasi-experimental study

    Get PDF
    Background: Diastatis recti abdominis (DRA) occurs most commonly in pregnant women owing to weakness of the abdominal musculature resulting from maternal hormone influences and increased stretch of the rectus abdominis induced by the expanding uterus. As there are musculoskeletal complications following DRA, there is a need to implement DRA corrective exercises in preventing or treating DRA following child birth. The objective of the study was to investigate the effects of Diastasis rectus abdominis corrective exercises in reducing DRA among the primiparous women.Methods: Primiparous women who had DRA of more than 2 finger width at their umbilical level or a bulging rectus abdominis on contraction following a vaginal delivery (VD) or cesarean section (LSCS) were included as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: Fifty four and forty two women in the VD and LSCS group respectively participated in the study. Among them only 12 and 9 women from each group respectively performed the DRA corrective exercises for 6 weeks. There was a significant improvement in the reduction of DRA within the groups at p 0.05 which indicated that both the groups showed the same level of improvement.Conclusions: DRA corrective exercises performed by the primiparous women with DRA in their postpartum period immediately following ND or a month after the LSCS for 6 weeks were found to be effective in reducing DRA
