Background: COVID-19 has brought many hurdles, and people have had to adjust to new ways. The online class was one such adjustment. Students in health science and engineering streams have more practical learning than theory. The online classes halted the normal teaching-learning processes and brought in unique set of difficulties which was a challenge to both the teacher and the student.
Purpose: This study was undertaken to understand the effect of online learning on achievement motivation among health sciences and engineering students during the COVID-19 pandemic and to find out if there is a significant difference across gender, age, type of internet connectivity, and rural/urban areas.
Methods: This was a survey-based comparative study. The sample size was 440 and consisted of health science and engineering undergraduate college students, both male and female, in the age group of 17-24 years. Data were collected through the Achievement Motivation Scale given online. A descriptive, z-test, and ANOVA were used to analyze the data.
Results: The average need for motivation was shown by 50% of engineering students and 54.55% of health science students. High motivation was shown by only 1.36% of engineering students and 0% of health science students. Females showed better achievement motivation than males, and those having good connectivity and staying in urban areas showed higher achievement motivation.
Conclusion: Lockdowns cannot be predicted, but the government needs to be effective in its planning for the rural population with regards to internet connectivity. Policymakers concerned with education should come up with modified teaching strategies for better student engagement. Even during regular off-line teaching, one day a week should be devoted to online classes so that this becomes part of the regular curriculum.

Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (SICH) is the most severe form of all stroke types. Stratification of SICH severity is important for group comparisons and treatment decisions. The existing prognostic scores for clinical prediction in SICH have not been specifically validated in the very old (≥75 years). Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the accuracy of different SICH vital prognostic scores in the very old. To compare the short-term accuracy of three vital prognostic scores: Functional Outcome in Patients with Primary Intracerebral Haemorrhage (FUNC), Modified Emergency Department Intracerebral Haemorrhage (mEDICH) and the Intracerebral Haemorrhage Score (‘ICH score’) in patients aged 75 or older. Comparison of the discriminative performance of three SICH prognostic scores in a consecutive case series of patients ≥75 years. The prognostic discrimination was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Additionally, a binary logistic regression was conducted to determine independent prognostic factors associated with mortality. The case-fatality was 40.6%. The AUROC and Younden index for the three scores was as it follows: ‘ICH score’ 0.882 and 0.648; mEDICH 0.867 and 0.571; FUNC 0.802 and 0.519. The main independent risk factors of death were presence of intraventricular extension (OR = 4.000,95% CI= 1.933–8.276), INR value (OR = 2.173, 95% CI = 1.146–4.117), haemorrhage volume (OR = 1.881, 95% CI = 1.029–3.440) and GCS (OR = 0.119, 95% CI = 0.060–0.236) for mEDICH. Haemorrhage volume (OR = 3.020, 95% CI = 1.806–5.050) and GCS (OR = 0.043, 95% CI = 0.013–0.151) for FUNC. Haemorrhage volume (OR = 4.950, 95% CI = 2.249–10.897) and intraventricular haemorrhage (OR = 3.811, 95% CI = 1.833–7.924) for ‘ICH score’. The three scores (‘ICH score’, FUNC and mEDICH) showed an excellent capability of discriminating the group of elderly patients at risk of short-term death. Age per se may not be crucial for accurate discrimination of death in the group of elderly. Instead, the inclusion of available physiological markers of fragility would be more scientifically meaningful than age.
自发性脑出血（SICH）是所有中风类型中最严重的一种。对 SICH 严重程度进行分层对于分组比较和治疗决策非常重要。现有的用于 SICH 临床预测的预后评分尚未专门针对高龄老人（≥75 岁）进行验证。因此，我们旨在评估不同的 SICH 生命预后评分在高龄老人中的准确性。比较三种生命预后评分的短期准确性：比较三种生命预后评分：原发性脑出血患者功能预后评分（FUNC）、改良急诊科脑出血评分（mEDICH）和脑出血评分（"ICH 评分"）在 75 岁或以上患者中的短期准确性。在≥75岁患者的连续病例系列中比较三种SICH预后评分的鉴别性能。使用接收者操作特征曲线下面积（AUROC）评估预后判别能力。此外，还进行了二元逻辑回归，以确定与死亡率相关的独立预后因素。病死率为 40.6%。三种评分的 AUROC 和 Younden 指数如下：ICH评分 "为0.882和0.648；mEDICH为0.867和0.571；FUNC为0.802和0.519。死亡的主要独立危险因素是脑室内扩展（OR = 4.000，95% CI = 1.933-8.276）、INR 值（OR = 2.173，95% CI = 1.146-4.117）、出血量（OR = 1.881，95% CI = 1.029-3.440）和 mEDICH 的 GCS（OR = 0.119，95% CI = 0.060-0.236）。FUNC的出血量（OR = 3.020，95% CI = 1.806-5.050）和GCS（OR = 0.043，95% CI = 0.013-0.151）。出血量（OR = 4.950，95% CI = 2.249-10.897）和脑室内出血（OR = 3.811，95% CI = 1.833-7.924）表示 "ICH 评分"。这三种评分（"ICH 评分"、FUNC 和 mEDICH）在区分有短期死亡风险的老年患者群体方面显示出卓越的能力。年龄本身可能并不是准确判别老年患者死亡的关键。相反，与年龄相比，纳入现有的脆性生理指标更具有科学意义。

Background: The education system is the lifeline of a nation. If the education system is strong and free from issues, the nation will, certainly, progress. Teachers have a key role in nation-building. Their opinions for overcoming the issues and challenges of education in the changing horizon can work as a roadmap to quality education. Purpose: The researcher has surveyed 450 teaching professionals to explore the issues and challenges of the changing horizon for teaching professionals in India. Methods: The researcher has developed a five-point rating scale, after an extensive literature review of regulations and reports of commissions and regulatory bodies. MS Excel 2016 version is used and analysis has been done by finding the frequency of respondents on each point of the rating scale. Then, the results have been interpreted and concluded. Results: The recommendations to overcome the issues and challenges for teaching professionals are also given in the changing horizon in India. Conclusion: Concerned professionals must consider factors including adequate infrastructure, up-to-date curricula, qualified faculty, suitable class sizes, learning materials, financial support and well-planned guidelines for quality education in order to improve education quality. A new teacher education program named as Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP)1 and a reform in educational policy as New Education Policy (2020)2 have begun. All the teaching professionals are hopefully waiting for their implementation. A great future for everyone will undoubtedly result from our work.

Background Numerous studies have shown that yoga can aid patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) in managing their motor function, functional mobility, balance, anxiety, and overall quality of life. However, most of the reported research either needed more power or evaluated the results during or after the intervention. Due to the long-standing nature of PD, there are still few longitudinal studies investigating the potential of yoga to decrease the progression of the disease. Purpose We study whether sustained adjunct yoga intervention slows PD progression. Methods Over 18 months, this study will investigate the long-term benefits of yoga-based intervention in Parkinson’s patients. The concept of “intention-to-treat (ITT)” will be employed. From the outpatient clinic of the Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana in India, 160 patients with PD will be chosen. They will then be randomly assigned to either the interventional or control groups (1:1). The adjunct intervention group will participate in 21 daily contact yoga sessions (60 min) at the University Medical Center, followed by continued tele-supervised home practice and at-home self-practice. The effectiveness of the adjunct intervention will be evaluated at four different time points (baseline, 3-, 9-, 12-, and 18-month post-randomization). The primary endpoint will be the difference in the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Part III score at baseline and after 18 months of intervention. Secondary outcomes will include subscores of MDS-UPDRS I, II, and IV, Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ)-39 scores, treatment adherence, the PDQ-39, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21, and the Scales for Outcomes in PD-Sleep Scale (SCOPA-S). The primary outcome will be analyzed using mixed-effect models for repeated measures, adjusted for covariates as fixed effects. Results The protocol was conceptualized in October 2021 and approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of SVYASA. Recruitment began in February 2022 and is underway with patient enrollment. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first controlled study to examine the long-term effects of yoga as an adjuvant therapy on the progression of PD. Key message This would be the first long-term trial to assess the potential of an adjunct yoga intervention to modulate disease progression in early Parkinson’s patients.

Background Employees are the real capital of any organisation, and to keep the employees productive and functional, employers need to focus on the psychological capital and social relationship of the employees to keep them engaged in their work. This study examined the emerging field of constructs of psychological and social capital to examine Indian employee’s behaviour. Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine a comprehensive model of the relationship between employees’ psychological capital and work engagement. Furthermore, it examines the moderating effect of social relationships between them. Methods This is a primary survey conducted mainly on the manufacturing industry. A sample of 375 mid- and senior-level executives of different age groups was considered in the study from India’s public and private manufacturing sectors administering a questionnaire survey. A random sampling technique was used for data collection. This study applied SPSS and Amos software to validate the measurement model. Results The results indicate a significant correlation among PsyCap, work engagement, and social relationships. PsyCap and social relationships are positively connected to work engagement. Thus, these results provide preliminary support for our hypotheses. The finding suggests that psychological capital and social relationships positively influence work engagement, and social relationships moderate the association between positive psychological capital and work engagement. It helps employees get better engaged at work. Conclusion Organisations must develop psychological capital to provide resources to employees and share a supportive relationship. Developing and maintaining a supportive relationship for employees and employers is important. In the future, both qualitative research methods and longitudinal data from other sectors can be used to understand the interplay between social and psychological capital for enhancing work engagement. Developing and cultivating positive social relations can help employees utilise their psychological strength to better engage in work.
