 Abstract

The exercise of disposable bias is a implicit source of significant cost savings to hospitals. In particular, single- use percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty( PTCA) catheters and electro physiologic and ablation catheters( EP) have come a major expenditure in sanitarium budgets. We modelled the cost application of single- use catheters versus reused catheters for interventional cardiology. An algorithm was used in order to model the sanitarium costs related to the two options. The model was constructed using the factual costs at theS.Chiara General Hospital of Trento. Exercise of PTCA catheters has been associated with a implicit savings ofEUR 27,672(8.1) compared to single- use; with an increased number of reutilization up to 3 times of the same catheters the savings have further than doubled. Savings were advanced with electro physiologic and ablation catheters, aboutEUR 53,191 i.e.31.8 of the costs for single- use catheter. Use of this model can be give the quantum of savings for each sanitarium with primary centers performing PTCA and electrophysiology.

 Abstract

This study examines Tae Kwon Do practitioner manuals as sites for better understanding the way diverse rhetorics can become embodied through technique. This dissertation understands martial arts in a Foucauldian sense as rhetorical institutions which discipline practitioners both physically and ideologically. A theory of "embodied topoi," a term coined here to describe the process by which cultural commonplaces are incorporated into a material, carnal, or performed identity is presented alongside a review of how athletic or martial bodies have been previously studied. Seven popular Tae Kwon Do technical manuals are analyzed for moments when 1. Commonplaces are described, 2. "Daoist topoi" are linked to specific techniques, 3. These "embodied topoi" are connected to inter/intrapersonal skill development. Results demonstrate that Tae Kwon Do pumsae were rhetorically invented to respond to various audience expectations about martial arts more broadly as well as political or social exigencies. Nearly all manuals featured explicit descriptions of underlying philosophical concepts to be embodied and a majority attempt to pinpoint these ideas manifesting in specific martial techniques. Pedagogical tools for helping first-year students (as well as writing instructors and administrators) develop those habits are presented in the conclusion alongside future research projects surrounding rhetorics of violence and the ethics of cultivating martial bodies.

 Abstract

Freedom is an essential component in the human life which determines self-awareness of an individual and thereby realizes the potentialities of life. The Physical freedom can be achieved by proper socialization process and stable social contracts based on the humanitarian values. On the other hand, cognitive freedom is a sensitive issue where it requires the harmonious balance between one's individual and social life. The strained human relationships often create cognitive dissonance which can be seen throughout the history of colonialism. The British in India imprisoned the psyche of Indians by creating hierarchies, mental complexities, verbal abuse and they disguised it in the form of white-man's burden. Raja Rao's Kanthapura unleashed such trivialities by exploring the socio-cultural and spiritual values embedded in the Indian way of life. The villagers of Kanthapura might sacrifice their space and root but the level of complacence they attained will be a model for decolonizing process in the post-colonial era. The research paper has used historical, textual and ethnographic method to answer the pondering questions on the aspects like values, space and time, language in relation to the decolonization process.

This paper focuses on the analysis of a first-order non-linear differential equation for SIR demography model. The mathematical model is constructed with two distinct forms of compartmentalization: without demography and with demography. This study is specifically centered around analytically solving the model that incorporates with demographic aspects, employing the Taylor Series Method (TSM). The TSM offers a straightforward way to determine the components of the series. As the order of approximation increases, the accuracy of the method also improves. Additionally, the influence of various parameters on the susceptible, infected, and recovered for the demography is also showcased.
