The Brunnstrom concept is a theoretical model of motor recovery following central nervous system injury developed by physical therapist Signe Brunnstrom. It is based on the hierarchical reflex theory and assumes that lower level reflexes get incorporated into purposeful movements through higher centers. Recovery proceeds from primitive reflexive movement to voluntary isolated movements. Treatment involves facilitating this progression using reflexes, associated reactions, proprioceptive and exteroceptive stimuli, and resistance. Motor and sensory function is evaluated using Brunnstrom's staging which characterizes recovery in a sequential progression.

The document also gives a brief history of the introduction and development of PIL in India since the 1970s.
When a Hindu person dies without a will, the Hindu Succession Act of 1956 determines how their property is distributed. Property first goes to Class I heirs like a widow, mother, children, and descendants of pre-deceased children. If there are no Class I heirs, property passes to Class II heirs like fathers, siblings, and more distant relatives. In the absence of Class I and II heirs, property is distributed to agnates and then cognates, defined as male-line and female-line relatives, respectively. If there are no cognates, the property goes to the government. A Hindu woman's property follows a similar order of inheritance by her children, husband, mother, father, and their heirs.

The document discusses the Delhi University's proposal to merge three business courses - Bachelor of Business Studies, Bachelor of Finance and Investment Analysis, and Bachelor of Business Economics into a single 4-year course. The author argues that this is an ill-conceived idea as the courses offer education in different disciplines and have different purposes. Merging them would destroy their identities and value in the job market. No valid logic has been provided for scrapping specialized courses that have proven records of 100% placements. The decision risks ruining the careers of current and past students who earned these degrees.
The document discusses the portrayal of women in Indian mass media. It argues that media often stereotypes women into specific roles like mothers or wives. Women are frequently shown as sacrificing for their families. Advertisements also commonly use women as sex objects to sell products. While some media shows strong female characters, real women in India have less decision making power and freedom than portrayed. The document concludes that Indian media needs to improve its sensitive representation of women beyond stereotypes.
Holi is a festival that has lost its original meaning of togetherness and forgiveness. It has become an excuse for hooliganism, violence, and applying colors to women without their consent. Touching or coloring someone during Holi without their permission is morally wrong and a violation of their consent, regardless of the cultural tradition. The only solution is for women to resist and oppose such nonconsensual behavior during the Holi celebrations.
The author criticizes Justice Katju's reasons for recommending a pardon for Sanjay Dutt, who was convicted for illegal possession of arms in relation to the 1993 Mumbai bombings. The author argues that Katju's reasons are absurd and unjust, as they do not properly consider the suffering of the bombing victims or establish appropriate deterrence. The author believes Katju's recommendation would undermine equal treatment under the law and could encourage others to commit terrorist acts. The author calls for justice to be applied equally regardless of social or financial status.
The document discusses the double standard where women are expected to "elegantly" balance home and work responsibilities, while this expectation is not placed on men. It argues that the ability to balance both aspects of life should be expected equally from both men and women. Currently, society looks down upon women who prioritize their careers over family duties, but does not criticize men who do the same. The document calls for closing this gap in expectations so that both partners can share equal responsibility for their personal and professional lives.
The author learns from a simple auto driver, Mr. Sadiq, what India truly needs. Mr. Sadiq realizes that one should only seek what they deserve, not more. He also realizes that wrongfully perceiving entire groups based on the actions of individuals is mistaken. Most importantly, Mr. Sadiq realizes the importance of actually practicing the good intentions and visions that many claim to have for India. The author concludes that if each Indian could simply realize and practice the goodness within themselves, it would go a long way towards addressing what India needs.
The author, Mr. Nupur Das, recounts an experience visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra with friends where he was denied entry because the security guards doubted him and thought he required a foreign tourist pass. One friend was allowed to enter after getting the foreign pass, but the author was asked to provide another approved government ID despite having a university ID. When he tried to explain he was from India, the guards refused to listen and physically pushed away his other friend who also tried to explain. The author believes this stems from common stereotypes against those from disturbed areas rather than lack of knowledge, and hopes more can be done to educate guards to avoid unfairly profiling visitors.
Ram Singh, one of the perpetrators of the 2012 Delhi gang rape case, died in prison under mysterious circumstances. The author celebrates his death and does not believe his death should be mourned. The author argues that India's slow judicial system would have allowed Ram Singh to delay justice and that his death outside of the court system is preferable. The author also argues that the other perpetrators deserve the same fate as Ram Singh and hopes they will also meet an early death.
Greenpeace India has launched a new online petition platform called Greenpeace Extra (GPx) that allows individuals to start and run their own local campaigns on environmental and social issues. The platform aims to empower communities and give them the resources to successfully address problems in their own areas. It highlights examples like an activist in Jharkhand who used GPx to challenge illegal toxic waste dumping, and a group in Bangalore that stalled an unnecessary parking lot development in a public park, gathering over 2,000 signatures in just two weeks. Greenpeace India hopes the platform will help more local leaders create awareness and positive change on important issues in their communities.
The document discusses the benefits of leisure activities and how they help people escape the pressures of life. A survey found that 82% of respondents use leisure activities to reduce stress. Leisure provides a break from routine, helps with cognitive development, builds confidence, and offers fulfillment. While academics are important, leisure is also crucial for dealing with difficult situations and viewing problems with a fresh perspective. The time spent enjoying leisure activities is not wasted time.
The document discusses Indo-Pak relations from the perspective of young students. It describes examples of students from both countries expressing friendship and a desire for peace between the neighbors. However, it also notes examples of some immature minds promoting hostility instead of friendship. The document argues that shaping young minds with values of love and peace should be a priority, as it is the key to creating a more harmonious society between the two countries in the future.
UPSC's recent decision to restrict regional languages as mediums for the civil services exam will negatively impact applicants from rural areas of India and could exacerbate political tensions around language issues. While Hindi remains an option, restricting other languages to only graduates of those language's literature is an unreasonable restriction. There are many examples of successful civil servants who wrote the exam in their native language without having a literature degree in that language. The language policy should encourage, not compel, the use of languages and allow exams to be taken in major regional Indian languages to avoid mistakes of the past that have proven disastrous and divisive.
Ram Singh, one of the accused in the 2012 Delhi gang rape case, recently committed suicide in prison. The author argues that (1) Ram Singh's suicide has not provided real justice or relief, as it raises questions about security in Indian prisons. (2) Ram Singh may not have actually committed suicide, and an investigation is needed. (3) True justice for the victim will only be achieved when all convicted receive proper punishment under the law.
The document discusses issues with the current educational system in India. It argues that schools and colleges fail to provide students with freedom and push them into a "mass labour production facility" without considering individual interests. It also says the most intelligent students are sidelined in favor of those who are most obedient. The document calls for students to break free and follow their passions, even if it causes unrest with others, as finding one's passion is a natural process that people should not be discouraged from.
This document profiles Mr. Gyanesh Kumar, an IAS officer and resident commissioner of Kerala House in Delhi. It describes his journey from wanting to be a doctor as a youth to becoming an inspiration for Indian youth through his perseverance and efforts to enact positive change through public service. It details his academic successes, struggles such as facing family opposition to studying abroad, and achievements like helping build a bridge to improve transportation for pregnant women. Mr. Kumar advocates that India's youth need clear goals, perseverance, and a willingness to work hard and serve society to succeed and help develop the country.
This document summarizes the views of Anwesha Sen Majumdar on how the budget imposed new taxes that will negatively impact middle class students. The key points are:
1) The budget imposed a 12% tax on restaurants that have air conditioning, increasing costs for students who enjoy affordable treats at such places.
2) The tax unfairly groups affordable middle-range restaurants with high-end luxury places and will force students to cut back on social outings.
3) Air conditioning has become a necessity in India due to extreme heat and should not be seen as a luxury. The new taxes show a lack of understanding of youth habits and living costs.
This document profiles ten influential women who helped shape history by breaking stereotypes: Virginia Woolf, Rosa Parks, Coco Chanel, Vidya Balan, Sampat Pal, Ellen DeGeneres, Benazir Bhutto, Mary Kom, Oprah Winfrey, and Lady Gaga. It discusses how each woman challenged societal expectations and gender roles through their actions and accomplishments. The document encourages learning about more women who created history by resisting traditional gender roles.
The document discusses the gap in rights between men and women in the workplace. It gives examples of how women who take maternity leave may find their jobs replaced by men, and how models and actresses have faced backlash for having children. While conditions for women have improved in India, their actions and rights are still seen as novel and open to debate rather than a normal part of life. The document argues that society should accord women the same basic workplace rights as men, like maternity leave, and close this gap in order to benefit families and society.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
Aruna shanbaug - the case that has aroused pity in every heart
1. Aruna Shanbaug- The Case That
Has Aroused Pity In Every Heart
- Apoorva Kinger
2. Aruna Shanbaug- Who is she?
• Aruna Shanbaug, a young, beautiful, high-spirited, strong-
willed girl who hailed from a small village called Haldipur (in
southern state of Karnataka)
• Just like those thousands, she reached Bombay (now
Mumbai) with dreams in her eyes, she left her home at a
tender age of 18.
• Her goals were set, she knew what she wanted in her life.
3. The career she sort
• Aruna completed a nursing course in Bombay on her own
without anybody’s support.
• She landed herself a job as a junior nurse in the famous King
Edward Memorial Hospital.
• She was a strict disciplinarian, authoritative, highly
responsible and efficient, amongst the best nurses of the
hospital.
• She had a promising carrier ahead and was loved and liked by
all.
4. Her love life
• While working as a nurse in King Edward Memorial
Hospital, Aruna fell in love with Dr. Sundeep Sardesai.
• Both of them admitted the love to each other and soon got
engaged.
• They had even fixed a date for their marriage.
• That’s when everything seemed very perfect for Aruna.
5. The merciless fate
• On 27th November, 1973, a girl who carved her own
destiny, had fallen prey to a merciless fate.
• Aruna Shanbaug was sexually assaulted by Sohanlal Bhartha
Walmiki, a sweeper on contract at the King Edward Memorial
Hospital.
• Walmiki was motivated partly by resentment for being
ordered about and castigated by Aruna.
• He attacked her while she was changing clothes in the
hospital basement.
6. • Walmiki choked her with a dog chain and paralyzed her.
• The asphyxiation cut off oxygen supply to her brain, resulting
in brain stem contusion injury and cervical cord injury apart
from leaving her cortically blind.
• But she did not die in fact she suffered bravely (and is still
suffering) but the damage is irreversible both physically and
mentally.
• Sohanlal did not only snatch her dignity but snatched her
whole life, she is bed-ridden, completely dependent on the
nurses of the hospital in which she once served other
patients.
7. The aftermath
• Following the attack, nurses in Mumbai went on strike
demanding improved conditions for Aruna and better
working conditions for themselves.
• They even succeeded as a police case was registered as a
case of robbery and attempted murder.
• To avoid the social rejection of the victim, and her impending
marriage, the original crime of anal rape was concealed by
the doctors under the instructions of the Dean of KEM, Dr.
Deshpande, perhaps
9. The judgment that didn’t do any
justice
• Walmiki was caught and convicted, and served two
concurrent seven-year sentences for assault and robbery but
not for rape or sexual molestation (which could have got him
a ten-year sentence by itself).
• Sohanlal got released after 7 years of imprisonment but
Aruna still traumatised
10. PVS, how bad is that?
• Aruna is in Permanent Vegetative State (PVS).
• Her pain is incurable and condition irreversible. She is locked
up in her own body to wait for a slow, painful death.
• Unfortunately, Aruna’s family abandoned her after the
hospital started insisting that they should take her home.
• For Aruna her home became the same hospital where she
used to serve whole heartedly.
• She occupies the same room outside ward 4 of the hospital
since 38years.
11. Mercy killing to lessen suffering?
• In 2010, Pinki Virani, Aruna’s friend and activist-journalist
filed a petition for euthanasia for Aruna Shanbaug.
• The Supreme Court praised Ms Virani’s concern, but ruled
that her relationship with the patient does not give her right
to petition on Ms Shanbaug’s behalf for a mercy killing.
• The only party that can appeal for euthanasia for Ms.
Shanbaug was the staff of KEM Hospital which has nursed
her since 38 years.
• Aruna‘s case is a landmark, while rejecting Virani’s plea for
Aruna Shanbaug’s euthanasia, the court laid out guidelines
for passive euthanasia.
• Virani didn’t have anymore to say than a sheer grief over her
friend’s pathetic state.
12. All we can do is pray
• To live or not to live, it is a decision which can only be taken
by the person who is concerned.
• In Aruna’s case, she is not able to tell her decision, so this
becomes all the more difficult.
• Whether to relieve Aruna from her present state or to give
her a right to live till she dies a natural death – its a tough call.
• Prayer is the only hope for her.
