How do non-traditional risk structures pass muster from a tax perspective given these outcomes? Can any 831(b) captive stand a chance in tax court? For example, the outcome seems unreasonable given the fact that the judge gave little deference to the actuary in Reserve Mechanical. If the judge is going to call into question the professional determination by an actuary as to reasonableness of risk, then it would seem the court can usurp the job an actuary does to determine post facto that insurance does not exist. In other words, it discounts the actuary’s professional opinion. For example, the outcome in Avrahami seems reasonable given the fact that coverage were unreasonable in the eyes of the judge. That the risk pool did not really create a true risk of loss is one reason the court was correct in finding a real insurance arrangement did not exist.

Climate Warming Promises More Frequent Extreme El Niño Events Discussion attachment_1 attachment_2 SCI 100 Project 1 Guidelines and Rubric Overview Natural science does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves. —Werner Heisenberg Studying the natural sciences allows us to explore both the physical and biological aspects of the natural world as well as how those aspects affect us. As a consumer and voter, you will be exposed to news stories that discuss scientific concepts as diverse as pharmaceuticals, environmental management, nanotechnology, and plastics. Because of the prevalence of natural science concepts in our daily lives, it is important to develop perspectives in the natural sciences and to have a basic understanding of natural science principles. There are three projects for this course. In Project 1, you will select a news story and explore the natural science topic of the news story using the Topic Exploration Graphic Organizer Template. Your exploration of the topic will include a description of the evidence surrounding the topic, potential questions that a natural scientist might ask related to the topic, and a discussion of where you can find more information about your topic. The work you do on this project will directly support your work on Project 2 (a question development worksheet) and Project 3 (a presentation). These projects are due later in the course. Project 1 will assess the following course outcome, which you will focus on throughout Theme: Understanding the Scientific Process: ? Determine fundamental approaches to scientific research in addressing questions related to the natural world Prompt Review the graphic organizer template and this graphic organizer sample. Your graphic organizer should address the following prompt: Visit the ScienceDaily website and select a news story that interests you and has been published within the past six months. Answer the questions in the graphic organizer template, based on your chosen news story. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed and will be graded using the Project 1 Rubric: I. Describe the science topic discussed in your news story. Be detailed in your description, providing scientific background about the topic. II. Identify the main idea or thesis in the news story you selected. In other words, what is the key concept being expressed or examined in the news story? III. Describe the evidence that supports the main idea of the news story. For example, if the main idea of your news story is that volcanoes can cause massive amounts of damage, your supporting evidence should consist of examples of volcanoes and the damage they caused. IV. Pose questions that a natural scientist might be interested in, based on the main idea and supporting evidence that you identified. For instance, you might ask questions about volcano prediction or the causes of volcanic eruptions. V. Where could you look for more information about the science topic discussed in the news story and the questions that you posed? You do not need to list specific sources, but your response should focus on the types of sources you could use to research the topic and questions. Supporting Work and Resources Throughout Theme: Understanding the Scientific Process, you will have these opportunities to work directly on different elements of this project: 1. In learning block 1-2, you will find a news story on a subject that is interesting to you and then answer a few questions related to that story. The news story must be related to the natural sciences, should be chosen from the ScienceDaily website, and should have been published within the past six months. You will use this same news story throughout the theme. Ashford SCI100 Climate Warming Promises More Frequent Extreme El Niño Events Discussion 2. In learning block 1-4, you will summarize the news story that you chose in learning block 1-2. You will also begin to search various sources to start to learn more about the science topic you identified. 3. In learning block 1-5, you will have an opportunity to ask some scientific questions of your own. 4. In learning block 2-1, you will be turning your attention back to your own news story and considering the data or evidence that is provided in support of the research that is being reported. Also, you will answer the question “Do you feel that the information presented in your news story is valid and reliable?” Project 1 Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your submission for this project is your completed topic exploration graphic organizer, using the template provided.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) may be caused by abnormal bacteria in the gut. At this point, no one knows what causes chronic fatigue syndrome, which is a disease that causes people to feel tired much of the time. When samples were collected and studied from people who have chronic fatigue syndrome as well as people who do not, it was found that the bacteria present in the people with the disease was different. There was less variety, and there were fewer species that are antiinflammatory. People with CFS also had more signs of inflammation in their blood. In the future, this team will look for viruses and fungi in the gut as well. Main Idea (Identify the main idea or thesis in the news story you selected.) The types of bacteria that live in the gut of people with chronic fatigue syndrome is different from the bacteria in the people who do not have the disease. This indicates that there may be a connection between gut bacteria and chronic fatigue syndrome. Supporting Evidence (Describe the evidence that supports the main idea or thesis of your news story.) 1) A research team correctly diagnosed 83% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome using stool samples and blood work. 2) Samples from people with chronic fatigue syndrome contained less variety and different types of bacteria than samples from healthy people. 3) People with chronic fatigue syndrome had markers of inflammation in their blood.

Requirements: 300 – 500 per section Answer preview to a fast food chain Such as Dominos (Product) You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor. The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS Discussion Questions (DQ) Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses. Weekly Participation Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. APA Format and Writing Quality Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition. Use of Direct Quotes I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. LopesWrite Policy For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score. Late Policy The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading. Communication Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.

The course provides hands-on experiments to allow students to observe and quantify fundamental processes that occur in engineered environmental systems and natural aquatic environments. Lectures are provided before each major lab to prepare students with basic theory and address any questions regarding the experiments. Students will be guided to apply the experimental results to design treatment processes. Students will take this course as an introduction to lecture-based theory and design courses with the philosophy that the learning process can be enhanced by first providing an opportunity to observe and measure fundamental environmental processes. Prior to this course, students should have taken basic chemistry, physics, and calculus preferably through differential equations. Students taking Introduction to Environmental Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Hydrology, Water and Wastewater Treatment should benefit from taking CE 304. CE 304 is a Writing Enriched (WE) course and is scheduled as the third WE course in the civil engineering curriculum (Engineering Techniques –ENGR 111 and Materials and Structures Lab – CE 206 are scheduled prior to CE 304). As such, the writing for this course is expected to show improvement in writing skills from the previous courses and continued progress toward professional level report writing. A. COURSE OBJECTIVES 1. To introduce students to fundamental environmental processes. 2. To familiarize the student with basic measurement and experimental techniques for open-channel water flow and water and wastewater treatment processes. 3. To guide students in applying experimental results for the design of water and wastewater treatment processes. 4. To familiarize the student with basic statistics for analysis of experimental data; 5. To develop the student’s written and oral communication skills; 6. To expose the student to the interpersonal relationships involved in group work. 2 B. CLASS ORGANIZATION 1. Lab teams will be organized for each experiment. All experimental work will be performed by the team as a group. Each student is required to submit an individual lab report for each experiment. 2. Each team will perform 8 prepared experiments and an independent project. Widener University CE 304 Lab 4 – Analysis of Material Transport 3. Detailed instructions for the prepared experiments are included in this manual. Since most of the technical material in the experiments will not have been covered in lecture courses at this point in the curriculum, lectures are scheduled prior to each experiment to provide the necessary background and answer any questions. Students are expected to be familiar with the objectives, scope, and content of the lab prior to the lecture and experiment. References are provided and should be read prior to the lecture and experiment. Deviations from the lab manual will be discussed by the instructor prior to the lab. 4. Safety policies are posted in each laboratory and in this manual (see Laboratory Policies). Students are expected to comply with these policies at all times. Failure to comply with these policies will result in reductions of lab grades and possibly dismissal from the lab. C. LABORATORY ORGANIZATION 1. A schedule of lab experiments will be provided to each group for the semester. Each student is expected to read and be familiar with the objectives, background, and procedures of each laboratory prior to conducting the experiment. 2. All students are required to be present for, and participate in, the experimental work done in the laboratory. All excused absences require a written request in advance and/or proper corroboration such as a physician’s note. Unexcused absences cannot be made up and will result in the student receiving a zero for that exercise. 3. All members of the group are expected to participate and contribute to the success of each lab experiment. Tasks that could be coordinated within each group include: set up of lab equipment, perform preliminary calculations and quality assurance checks, obtain measurements, and record data. It is the responsibility of the entire team to ensure that the best results are obtained. 4. One set of data should be recorded per group. The data should be compiled into a spreadsheet and examined for completeness and accuracy. Once validated, the data file should be posted via email to all group members and the instructor. The data files should be printed and attached to the lab reports as an appendix. 3 D. GRADING The grading policy of the instructor is summarized as following: 1. Lab reports: 80%. Refer the grading template in the appendix. 2. Course participation/attendance/assignments: 8% 3. Independent Group Project, Presentation and Evaluation: 12% Student should submit the assignment (pre-lab questions) before the lecture each time. Student should submit the lab reports online before the due time. Hardcopy or submission via email will NOT be accepted and graded. Late submission without official excuses will be subjected to penalty of the report grade (10% off per day late). 4 LABORATORY POLICIES Most laboratory regulations are in effect for one of two reasons: to protect the student or to protect the equipment. The following rules must be observed by all students utilizing the laboratory: 1. Any accident which results in damage to person or property (yours or Widener’s), no matter how minor, must be reported to the instructor as soon as possible. First aid materials are available from the instructor and/or lab technicians. 2. Eye protection shall be worn when handling chemicals or equipment that could cause an eye injury. Proper footwear is required (no sandals or opentype shoes). 3. Eating and drinking are not permitted at any time in the laboratories, including computer labs. 4. Horseplay, which is dangerous in a laboratory environment, will not be tolerated and will result in dismissal and a failing grade. 5. Most of the laboratory experiments are designed to be completed during scheduled laboratory periods. If for some reason a group does not complete a lab in class it will be necessary to make up the lab outside of class time. Widener University CE 304 Lab 4 – Analysis of Material Transport Makeup time must be approved in advance by the lab instructor. Outside of class periods, students may not work alone in a laboratory but rather, for safety reasons, must work in a minimum group of two. When students have finished their work, they must secure the room (close windows, disconnect power, switch off lights, cleanup work area, return equipment to storage, lock doors, etc.). 6. All equipment should be handled carefully, with due attention paid to possible hazards. Students should be sure of procedures before beginning work. Consult the equipment manual or the instructor if there is a question about proper operation. 7. The laboratories must be left in a clean and tidy state, with equipment put away and messes thoroughly cleaned up. Failure to do so will result in the lowering of your grade. 5 REPORTS AND PROJECTS REQUIREMENTS A. REPORTS WRITING 1. Lab reports should be written from the perspective of a practicing engineer to the extent possible. The reports should be written for a general technical audience (such as another engineering student or faculty). Assume that the assignments are projects that you are assigned to work on by your project manager or client. Therefore, phrases such as: “the students were given the test specimens ….,” should be avoided. In addition, the stated objectives of the lab should be technical objectives, not “educational objectives.” For instance, a practicing engineer is not likely to tell his client that he did the work to learn how to use the equipment. 2. All reports should be prepared using a Word processor (Microsoft Word) and submitted online. Students will be responsible for maintaining copies of all reports in the event that a file is lost or revisions are necessary. All text should be double spaced. Margins (at least one-inch) should be provided on all sides of the page. Pages should be consecutively numbered beginning with page 1 following the title page. 3. All Tables and Figures must be presented in similar format to the ASCE journals. They should be properly numbered (Figure 1, Table 1), titled, and labeled (including units), and they should appear as soon as possible after they are referred to in the text. 4. For figures (graphs, sketches, pictures, or other illustrations), the figure number and title appear at the bottom of the figure. Table numbers and titles appear at the top of each table. Original data records and sample calculations DO NOT belong in the body of the report, but should be included in titled appendices. The results should be presented in tabular or graphical format, and should include all pertinent data and information to allow the reader to independently check the work. 5. All equations must be sequentially numbered ( ie. Eq. 1 or Equation 1.), and all variables in the equation must be identified the first time they appear in the report. 6. Avoid the use of personal pronouns such as “we” or “I”. Although these pronouns are acceptable and may be preferred in other writing styles, they are not widely accepted by technical journals in engineering. Engineering journals prefer an objective viewpoint; the work being described should be reproducible by anybody following the procedures described in the study. The use of “we” and “I” is subjective and may imply that only the authors could do the work. 6 7. Avoid the use of colloquialisms, jargon, and meaningless or unnecessary phrases (ie. – “the results were as expected”, or “this was a good experiment”). All parts of the lab report should directly support the objectives of the lab. 8. Use proper spelling and grammar – points will be deducted from lab reports if grammar and spelling errors persist. Help from the University Writing Center should be considered, or may be required, if writing problems are not corrected. References will be made available for help with technical writing. 9. Sections and Content of the Lab Reports: Students should take pride in their lab reports since they represent the work that was put into the lab. A “short report form” will be used for the lab reports for these experiments, and will include the following sections: a. Title Page b. Table of Contents c. Abstract: a brief one to two-paragraph summaries of the objectives, work conducted during the experiment, and significant results or findings. Sometimes a background statement may be provided at the beginning of the abstract. d. Introduction: Background statement on the relevance of the lab from an engineering perspective; objectives of the lab; overview, or scope, of the work. Widener University CE 304 Lab 4 – Analysis of Material Transport e. Procedures and Methods: This section consists of two subsections: (1) the experimental procedures performed to acquire the data, and (2) the methods applied to analyze the data to produce the results and achieve the objectives. i. Many students fail to recognize that the equations and statistical methods applied to obtain the results are as important as the raw data. The reader expects to see these methods discussed in this section in order to understand how the objectives of the work were achieved. After reading these details in the Procedures and Methods Section, the reader will know what to look for and expect in the Results and Discussion Section. Students may wish to use subheadings, such as Experimental Procedures and Data Analyses, to help write and organize this section. ii. Provide a general description of the work conducted during the experiment with particular attention to any deviations from the lab manual. Do not provide a step by step set of instructions that are found in the lab manual! Theories, formulas, and equations 7 that are applied to the data, or otherwise examined during the experiment, should be presented and discussed in this section (Data Analyses). Equations should be numbered and all symbols or parameters in the equation should be identified as you would find in a technical journal article. f. Results and Discussion: Tables and graphs should be used to present your data, calculations, and results. Discussion must be provided to describe and explain the data and significance of the information in the tables and graphs. Comparison of results with theory or accepted formulas should be discussed. Sources of error should be discussed with respect to your findings and the significance of these errors with respect to the objectives of the lab g. Conclusions: Summarize objectives, significant results, and discuss conclusions and recommendations. h. References: Provide a bibliographic list of references used in the lab report. i. Appendix: Include the original data sheets from lab, calculations (or at least one complete set of well documented sample calculations), application problems, and any other related information which supports the lab report, but does not fit in the main report. All information and data needed to develop the results of the lab or project should be presented either in the main report or the appendix. 10. Check List (in appendix): Students should use the check list to proofread the report and revise the formats, contents of the report if necessary. The check list should be placed in the last page of the report. B. INDEPENDENT PROJECTS Each group will be required to present their independent project. During the last week of the course, each team will make a 15-20 minute oral presentation. Organization of the presentation can follow the general section outline used for the lab reports. Practice speaking on your feet without reading what you wish to say. Note cards are certainly acceptable and often a good idea, but the speech should not be read word for word from them. Graphical and technical aids should be prepared well in advance, making sure that you are familiar with the operation of the particular overhead projector, slide projector, etc., that you will be using. Keep your presentation on-time, respecting your partners’ time allotments. Be prepared to answer questions from the audience once everyone in your group has finished speaking. Gear your talk to the level of the audience. 8 Lab 1 – Development of a Calibration Curve for a Tracer Pre-lab Questions: 1. What is the purpose of using blank sample in the test? 2. What is calibration curve? A. Lab Objectives Widener University CE 304 Lab 4 – Analysis of Material Transport 1. Develop a statistically significant calibration curve for both a spectrophotometer and a colorimeter to measure concentrations of a tracer dye for use in contaminant transport studies. 2. Apply the calibration curve to determine the concentration of tracer dye in unknown sample. B. Student Learning Objectives 1. Learn how to operate a spectrophotometer and colorimeter for reading absorbance of prepared standard solutions of known concentrations. 2. Learn how to use Excel for regression analyses to determine a statistically significant relationship to predict concentration as a function of absorbance. C. References Hach DR900 Colorimeter User’s Manual Hach DR4000-UV Spectrophotometer User’s Manual D. Background Nonreactive (conservative) dyes are often used in environmental studies to examine how a fluid (air or water) is transported through an engineered reactor or a natural environmental system such as a lake or stream. Parameters such as residence times and flow velocities are often determined from these studies. The dyes should be nontoxic and easy to detect and measure. Usually a spectrophotometer is required to measure the absorbance of the dye solution at an optimum wavelength specific to the dye being used. If a calibration curve is developed for the spectrophotometer from standard solutions of known dye concentrations, the absorbance measurements can be translated into dye 9 concentrations (mass/volume). Ideally, a linear equation can be developed to calculate the concentration as a function of absorbance. For this lab, both a spectrophotometer and a colorimeter may be used to develop calibration curves for each instrument. The spectrophotometer can be used the find optimum wavelength for measuring the dye absorbance, and then a calibration curve will be developed for the spectrophotometer at the optimum wavelength. Since colorimeters are usually limited to one or two specific wavelengths, a separate calibration curve will be developed using the wavelength closest to the optimum determined from the spectrophotometer. E. Equipment Hach DR4000-UV Spectrophotometer, Hach DR900 Colorimeter, Red Food Coloring, Volumetric flasks and pipettes F. Procedure 1. Standard Solutions a. Prepare a 1000 mg/L standard dye solution by adding 1 mL of dye to 1 L of water. Prepare standard dye solutions of 500 mg/L, 250 mg/L and 100 mg/L by serially diluting the 1000 mg/L using volumetric flasks. For example, transfer 250 mL of the 1000mg/L solution (using a 250 mL volumetric flask) into a 500 mL volumetric flask. Add water to bring the new solution up to 500 mL which will result in a 500 mg/L standard solution. Invert the new flask to thoroughly mix the contents. b. Repeat the above procedure starting with the 500 mg/L solution to produce a 250 mg/L standard, and then use the 250 mg/L standard to produce a 100 mg/L standard. 2. Dye solutions measurement with the Spectrophometer a. Turn on the Hach DR 4000-UV spectrophotometer. After the spectrophotometer has booted-up, in a single wavelength mode, setup the wavelength = 500 nm. Place a blank sample (test tube with tap water) in the cell and press the zero button to zero the instrument. b. Next, sequentially fill a test tube with each of the standard solutions (triplicates) and measure and record the absorbance and concentration. c. Plot the concentration (X) versus absorbance (Y) to check that a linear relationship exists. (If the data are not linear, try running a second set of 10 readings. If they are still non-linear, then a new set of standards should be prepared). 3. Dye solutions measurement with the Colorimeter a. Place the test tube adapter in the cell holder of the colorimeter and turn it on. Press the Program button and key in the wavelength closest to the optimum determined by the spectrophotometer (for the Hach DR900 Colorimeter, the wavelengths are 420, 520, 560 or 610 nm). Fill a test tube with tap water, place it in the cell holder, and place the lid over the cell holder.

Local people have commonly used traditional medical procedures for hundreds of years in other cultures, for example, China and India (Wang, Zhu & Tan, 2019). In recent decades, the movement of foreign migration has contributed to the inclusion of patients from various ethnic groups who also are more likely to use conventional treatments from their country of origin. Despite Western medicine’s supremacy in Hong Kong, perceived as a culmination of Western medicine’s preferred role under the British rule, both Western and Chinese medication were used concurrently by the local populace (Jia et al., 2020). In Chinese medicine terms, the bulk of the populace possibly describes and recognizes their diseases rather than Western medical values The conventional method of care and theory of physical equilibrium in China are Chinese medicines. It has a long history, and is significant and has spread across the world, for more than thousands of years. The essential elements of Chinese traditional medicine have been the utmost innovative and proficient method globally. It has information that can affect potential medical development, but basic awareness labeling times and cultures are easy to find. The underlying concept of Chinese medicine includes three measures: one which is compatible with modern treatment and one which involuntarily goes past modern treatment and which must be further tested (Zhang et al., 2015). The portion that is in line with western medicine requires an emphasis on many conventional Chinese medicine ideas and principles and the usage of many medications and medicines, including widely utilized Chinese herbs (Zhang et al., 2015). The involuntary portion outside conventional medicine includes many established ideas and essential principle in traditional Chinese medicine, comparatively established drugs, recipes and current medications, herbs leading in diagnosis with acupuncture and anesthesia in Chinese medicine CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 3 that impact modern treatment. Apart from knowledge of pulse treatments, medication, and plants, the portion that must be further studied comprises of several other facets of traditional Chinese medicines. This paper analyzes further the benefits and risks associated with the treatment in the fields of Chinese medicine, precisely Acupuncture, its origin, and clinical perspective. Traditional Chinese Medicine Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is among the primordial medicine programs. It is perceived to be over 3 million years older than mainstream Western medicine, which was introduced in 1847 with the founding of the American Medical. It is termed as a continuum of primary health treatment that involves Acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and curative massage. Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Presentation The two common types of TCM health treatment are Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicines (Zhang et al., 2015). The principal characteristic of contemporary TCM is the idea that good health depends on preserving and sustaining the peace, equilibrium, and order of the patient. TCM provides a systematic approach to considering human behavior and disease mechanisms, concentrating on disease control as much as it does on treatment. TCM is a simplified form of the form of Chinese medicine accomplished before the Chinese Revolution, based on several ancient convictions. The Daoist theory is a significant one in that the human body is a minuscule form of life.it is believed that vital energy called “Qi” is transmitted through the body and participates in several healthcare functions (Fung & Linn, 2015). TCM experts assume that the blockage or excess of Qi stems from chronic pain and that their function is to reverse or restore its flow. Any imbalance in Qi can result in illness and disease. It is most often thought that this imbalance is due to a change in complementary forces in the “Qi”. They are referred to as “yin CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 4 and yang”. Old Chinese believed that human beings are microcosms of the larger world around them and are related to and subject to nature. A key concept is the balance of health and disease. TCM counseling aims to achieve this equilibrium through patient care (Jia et al., 2020). To maintain equilibrium, the inner body bodies must be aligned with the external components of the world, gas, water, wood, and metal. Concepts such as yin and yang that define the equilibrium of competing, compatible health-friendly powers and the ideas of five elements are similarly essential to TCM. The philosophy of Yin/Yang establishes the nature of the body Yin or Yang, as its location, temperature levels, and quantity parameters (Jia et al., 2020). Yin/Yang reflects divergence and the idea that without the other, one function cannot survive. Symbolically, the Five Elements reflect the phases of human development and describe the functions of the body. To encourage an awareness of the TCM, learning such principles is essential. Chinese Medicine and Modern Pharmacology An increasing number of studies suggested the conventional usage of treatments for plants and established pharmacological behavior of plant components frequently correlate (Dong, 2013). Herbal treatment, though, is distinct from pharmaceutical treatment. Secondly, it is far more safe than pharmaceutical drugs dependent on specific active substances, owing to the variety of plant resources, and it has much less chance of developing side effects (Wang, Zhu & Tan, 2019). Furthermore, since the plants are usually mixed, the different components of a solution complement each other. Therapeutic interventions are subject to reciprocal cooperation that boosts productivity and health. Herbal therapy generally attempts to remedy psychological imbalances instead of managing problems by itself (Dong, 2013). Therapeutic care is meant to facilitate self-healing. CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 5 When recommended appropriately by a professionally qualified practitioner, Chinese medicines are exceptionally healthy. Seasoned physicians have compiled detailed knowledge of the pharmacopeia for thousands of years, and consumer safety has gained a lot of focus (Dong, 2013). Allergic responses are rare and may not inflict irreversible harm if care is halted as soon as signs arise. Diagnostic Methods Apart from discomfort and migraine, TCM covers a wide variety of wellbeing conditions, including improvement and avoidance of immune disorder, alcohol dependence, anxiety, depression; preventive care; and fitness, and refurbishment. Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Presentation In their tests, TCM practitioners employ five specific methods of diagnosis: examination (looking), auscultation (listening), sniff (smelling), inquisition (asking), Palpation (touching). The assessment reflects not only on the outward look and the actions of the individual but also on the language during the examination. An analysis of tongue by a TCM practitioner includes the size, form, tension, color, and coating of the tongue. Patients are advised not to wash their teeth during a briefing so that the findings are not ambiguous. Auscultation involves listening to specific sounds, such as voice, breath, and cough that the patient produces while Olfaction refers to body smell or breathe management. In the course of the investigation, the physician asks questions concerning the consistency, seriousness, or symptom features such as suddenness, head, pain, urine, appetite, sleep, abdomen, and gynecological (Roberts, 2016). The last evaluation phase involves the wrist pulses at the radial artery at three different locations. The pain zones, stress, and energy channels of the affected meridians, contributing to control organ functioning and to stabilize the body by regulating the body’s functions. CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 6 Therapeutic Methods TCM provides several approaches intended to improve patients’ wellbeing. There are six conventional therapy approaches of TCM, including cupping/scraping, tui na, acupuncture, moxibustion, and massage (Jia et al., 2020). The most common part of TCM is Acupuncture. Acupuncture is the world’s ancient and most widely applied supplemental and complementary medicinal therapies. Normally not an independent procedure, it is considered as part of TCM Acupuncture Acupuncture was introduced with a finding of the particular regions of the skin, enhancing the body’s physiological process have been impaired and evolved into a science-based treatment method that improves and preserves wellbeing. In 1993, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that U.S. acupuncture practitioners served 12 million people a year (Roberts, 2016). Acupuncture has healed patients around the world for more than 3,500 years. In China, this calming treatment initially was created and used for all patients who seek to relieve symptoms of illnesses ranging from asthma and migraines and chemotherapeutic impact. It has also been proven to help people avoid smoking. Acupuncture is rooted in the conviction that a power termed “qi” circulates in our bodies from the tops of our heads to the bottom of our feet. If one is well, this energy flows naturally through paths in the body named “meridians.” “Meridian” is expected to be coupled to a specific organ system and may result in sickness or discomfort when the energy supply is interrupted (Li et al., 2019). Thus, Acupuncture is used to regulate the flow of “Qi” and enhance the innate healing potential of the body. CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 7 Treatments for Acupuncture include inserting various long needles in some skin regions. The number of needles ranges from 3-20, and the length of their positioning depends on the procedure. The needles can be bent, rubbed, or operated electrically during therapy to improve curing results. Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Presentation Many points of Acupuncture are close to the nerves. Once activated, the spinal cord and brain have conveyed a warning through the nerve. This allows adrenaline, dopamine, and endorphins to be released chemicals from our bodies that modify or remove the transmission of pain throughout our brain (Roberts, 2016). Upon the activation of these mood-controlled hormones, people experience physical and mental change. So when someone changes their relational perspective, their quality of living changes. Clinical experiments have demonstrated that Acupuncture improves, and anti-inflamed processes of the body are nervous and endocrine (glandular). Acupuncture decreases inflammation due to multiple illnesses and helps relieve muscle spasms and pain (Siu et al., 2019). The World Health Organization funds acupuncture and clinical trials have proven a successful therapy for many illnesses, including: • Chronic discomfort: migraines, tendonitis, acne disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, fabric lung discomfort, neck pain, rheumatoid arthritis. • Blood pressure. • Digestive discomforts such as constipation, gastrointestinal pain, colitis, and gastritis· • Uranium and hormonal conditions: menstrual cramp, prolonged or extreme periods, miscarriage, or menopausal symptoms. • Psychological, cognitive, depression, anxiety, stress, and sleeplessness. • Allergies. CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 8 • Tobacco, caffeine, and tobacco addictions. • Overweight and obesity, coupled with dietetic practice and exercise (Acupuncture is not perfect but can help suppress appetite). Scientific Evidence for Acupuncture The practice of Acupuncture for persistent discomforts, inflammation and cure for neck aching, is positive clinical data. When conjunction with placebo or where Acupuncture is applied to another technique of rehabilitation for persistent low back pain. Acupuncture often appears to have a short-term, clinically meaningful impact (Li et al., 2019). Acupuncture is normally safe when done with sterile, disposable, or sterilized needles. Most people are worried about Acupuncture because of phobia with their needle. In comparison to other needles, needles with Acupuncture are solid and hair-thin. Depending on the form of medication given, needles are normally placed no longer than half an inch to an inch. Small needles, vicarious nuts, pellets, or tacks of the ear may serve as substitutes for needlephobia patients while applying pressure to the main points with the fingers and auricular Acupuncture. The ear is considered as a body microcosm in TCM. Each point on the ear is marked for the anatomical configuration (Roberts, 2016). The criteria commonly mentioned are the “hunger” weight reduction point, the “reassuring” tension control level, and the “lung” cessation criteria. The typical acupuncture visit will take from 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the severity and length of the illness. Much may be expected to enhance persistent pain on a minimum of appointments. Every person encounters acupuncture differently; most people feel just moderate discomfort when the needles are applied first. Acupuncture is incredibly healthy when done by a registered, professional acupuncturist. CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 9 Acupuncture Treatment The acupuncturist implants tiny needles in some places on the corpora of the recipient during an acupuncture procedure. Inserting the needles typically will not create any pain.Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Presentation Doctors practicing Acupuncture have distinctive in their style, sometimes incorporating elements of medicine from East to West (Roberts, 2016). The doctor can question patients about symptoms, behavior, and lifestyles to decide the form of acupuncture therapy that will benefit them best. They can also investigate attentively: • The uncomfortable parts of the body. • Tongue form, coating, and light. • Facial hue. • The strength, rhythm, and consistency of the wrist pulse. The clinical evaluation and care may take up to 60 minutes. This generally requires around a half hour to future appointments. One to two therapies a week will usually be used in a standard recovery schedule with a particular concern (Roberts, 2016). The amount of medications depends on the disease and the extent. Six to eight services are usually available. During the Procedure For any part of the body, acupuncture points exist. The right points are often well away from the discomfort center. The acupuncture doctor will notify patients of the intended care location and whether the patient needs to change clothing. There may always be a cover, towel, or blanket. Patients are put on a padded table which requires; • Insertion of needles. At specific points on the body, acupuncture nails are placed into various depths. The needles are very small, and the insert also creates CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 10 minimal discomfort. For the standard procedure, between five and 20 needles are used (Roberts, 2016). • Manipulation of the needle. Upon insertion, the doctor should softly remove the needles or add moderate electrical spur to the needles. • Removal of the needle. Most of the time, patients lay back and rest, the needles stick in position for 10 to 20 minutes. When the needles are extracted, there is typically no pain. During an acupuncture session, some individuals feel calm while some feel energized. Not all respond to Acupuncture, though. When symptoms do not start changing after a couple of weeks, it is an indication that the procedure was not successful (Roberts, 2016). Acupuncture and Other Treatments A 2013 meta-analysis network evaluating knee osteoarthritis physical therapy has shown that compared with standard treatment, Acupuncture is the most effective in proper standard trials for assessed disorders, outperforming diet, and embarrassment acupuncture as well as weight reduction (Yung et al., 2019). In comparison to shoulder impingement syndrome training, a 2015 network meta-analysis evaluating therapies reveals that Acupuncture was the most successful alternative medication out of seventeen methods (Oh, Walsh & Zaslawski, 2018). Acupuncture outperformed other substitutes such as steroid infusion, NSAIDs, and ultrasound therapy. The study of 20 sciatica therapies in 2016 rated Acupuncture the second most successful (Yung et al., 2019). In 2018, a network meta-analysis showed that Acupuncture is more successful than drugs for reducing the least adverse effects and persistent constipation (Oh, Walsh & Zaslawski, 2018). CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 11 For more than 60 years, substantial work has been carried out on how Acupuncture relieves suffering. Sensory nerve pathways were traced with modified nerve fibers (A?, A?, and C) and downward pathways of the nervous system. A significant range of biochemical, including the neuropeptides (opioid and non-opioid) and neurotransmitters, have been reported. They include nitric oxide, serotonin, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), norepinephrine, cytokines, and glutamate. Acupunctural analgesia involves many types of naturally-secreted opioid neuropeptides such as encephalin. Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Presentation Analgesics, the non-opioid neuropeptides P substance and vasoactive bowel peptide (VIP), and calcitonin-linked peptide (CGRP) are studied for their function in migraine pathogenesis. Many biochemical and signaling mechanisms, but certainly one that leads to understanding how Acupuncture becomes effective in several clinical settings, have been described as partaking a direct part in how the Acupuncture produces medical impacts. Acupuncture therapy has shown to act directly a mechanism called purinergic signaling, a basic 15 and acupuncture in the human body using ATP and adenosine to regulate body organs systems and tissues and also send signals (Oh, Walsh & Zaslawski, 2018). ATP is a co-factor for nervous communication, and purine amounts are used by the body as the primary background cue for both stable activity and tissue injury. Research with mice demonstrates that the pain relief from Acupuncture and no chemical modifications linked to acupuncture pain relief has been found by bred ones that have not been bonded to adenosine. In contrast, regular mice have, and humans have repeated this result. It has been shown that purinergic impulses play a crucial function, which involves numerous health conditions such as migraines, anxiety, immune deficiency, and depression, tumors, and Alzheimer’s (Macdonald, 2016). Pharmaceutical firms in all these fields are actively CHINESE MEDICINE AND ACUPUNCTURE 12 working to suppress or improve purinergic impulses in pharmaceutical products. Protection is a challenge because the cellular equilibrium of such compounds is fragile, and disease is correlated with too much and too little adenosine and ATP. However, the enhancement of enhanced selfregulation by acupuncture therapy may be both efficient and successful Research has since demonstrated substantial impacts of Acupuncture on the central nervous system as well as a biological behavior. Those are the results of the spinal reflex, which causes involuntary relaxation and improvement of visceral organs. Acupuncture in the brain has demonstrated that it increases neural integration and decreases limbic structures correlated with stress and disease and enhances hypothalamic, pituitary, or adrenal axial control, the primordial mechanism used by the body to regulate hormones and the physiological stress response (Siu et al., 2019). Acupuncture modulates parasympathetic activity as well as relaxation, recovery, nutrition, and tissue regeneration divisions of the nervous system. Acupuncture is mild to show to manage 46 diseases effectively firmly and is deemed effective by appropriately qualified clinicians (Roberts, 2016).
