Ptosis is an abnormal low position of the upper lid; it may be congenital or acquired.The condition can be either uniocular or binocular. The present article discusses a case of Vatahata vartma (uniocular involutional ptosis) where a male patient of 59 years visited opd with complaints of drooping of left upper eyelid associated with double vision of near objects since 1 month. Initially the patient was treated with amapachana chikitsa followed by bruhmana and vata shamana chikitsa along with eye exercise of ocular muscles. After 2 weeks of treatment there was improvement in the grade of ptosis. Eventhough acharya explained the disease as asadhya in nature; conservative management can be done using ayurvedic principles in particular types of ptosis.This case study helps in exploring the effective management of vatahata vartma(involutional ptosis) by applying vatahara treatment principles.

Karna (ear), the organ of hearing is considered as one among the Navadwaras which is predominant in Akasha Mahabhuta. Karna Srava is one among the 28 Karna Rogas explained by Acharya Sushruta. The present article emphasises the importance of Sthanika Chikitsopakramas used to treat the disease Karna Srava successfully. A 24-year male patient approached Shalakya tantra OPD of SPSAMCH and RC, Arju-nabettahalli, Nelamangala with the complaints of right ear pain for 3 days associated with itching. On ex-amination, pus and fungus mass were found in the right ear and tympanic membrane was not visible. It was treated accordingly using appropriate Sthanika Chikitsopakramas like Karna Prakshalana and Karna Dhupana and Shamanoushadhis which gave complete relief to the patient. Based on the Lakshanas in the present case, Karna Srava is corelated to otomycosis which is having the similar symptoms. Otomycosis is a fungal infection of the ear canal with the symptoms of pain, itching, discharge and ear block. Any ail-ment connected with the ear should be treated as early as possible due to the importance of organ of hear-ing and also due to its delicacy and inaccessibility.

Thai Buddhist meditation practice tradition has its long history since the Sukhothai Kingdom about 18th B.E., until the present day at 26th B.E. in the Kingdom of Thailand. In history there were many well-known Buddhist meditation master teachers, i.e., SomdejPhraBhudhajaraya (To Bhramarangsi), Phraajarn Mun Puritatto, Luang Phor Sodh Chantasalo, PhramahaChodok Yanasitthi, and Buddhadasabhikkhu, etc. Buddhist meditation practice is generally regarded by Thai Buddhists to be a higher state of doing a good deed than doing a good deed by offering things to Buddhist monks even to the Buddha. Thai Buddhists believe that practicing Buddhist meditation can help them to have mindfulness, peacefulness in their own lives and to finally obtain Nibbana that is the ultimate goal of Buddhism. The present article aims to briefly review history, and movement of Thai Buddhist Meditation Practice Tradition and to take a case study of students’ Buddhist meditation practice research at the university level as an example of the movement of Buddhist meditation practice tradition in Thailand in the present.

In this study we propose the establishment of theological rules (qawāʿid iʿtiqādiyya) similar to the jurisitic rules (qawāʿid fiqhiyya) which have for centuries been very important to Islamic jurisprudence, and which play a vital role in jurisprudence and uṣūl al-fiqh. The present article takes the second sura of the Qur'an, Sūrat al-Baqara, as a case study, identifying three fundamental principles in this sura: (i) man is honoured (al-insān mukarram), (ii) the Resurrection is a reality (al-baʿth ḥaqq) (iii) belief in all prophets is obligatory (al-īmān bi-kāfat al-anbiyāʾ wājib). These three rules are emphasised and reiterated in many parts of the sura, to a greater extent than any other principle. This study calls for other scholars to consider this proposition and develop it further.

The present article is a case study of a Polish biopharmaceutical company, “Pure Biologics”. The company was founded in 2010 by a group of scientists and, over the last nine years, grew substantially from just a few individuals to nearly one hundred professionals. Initially, a privately-funded civil partnership, Pure Biologics, has been transformed into a publicly-traded company. Such a transformation has been possible not only because of the expertise and growing experience of corporate management, but also the specific economic environment and substantial public funding dedicated to innovative Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
