Item Effect of yoga on counterproductive work behavior(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Dwivedi, UmeshThe present study inspected the viability of yoga practices in lessening counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and its predictors, such as, aggression and negative affectivity (NA), and in enhancing positive affectivity (PA). Variables utilized as part of this study were aggression, NA, PA and CWB. Study test comprised of two groups and they were the yoga and the control groups, having 80 subjects in each group with subjects those who showed involvement in CWB were included. Yoga module covered āsana (postures), prāṇāyāma (breathing techniques), dhyāna (meditation), and yogic theories for yoga group. Mild to moderate level of physical activities and management theories were included for the control group. Duration of the intervention was ten weeks comprising five days session per week. Pre and Post measurements were implemented in an identical manner at the baseline and end of the interventions. BACKGROUND: CWB is a subject of critical significance to numerous organizations since it poses expansive number of psycho-social results and negative performance for organization and its individuals and it results in enormous direct financial losses and other indirect losses to the organizations. Personality traits of people, additionally impact CWB on the grounds that these people settle on conscious decisions to choose whether to follow these practices. Anger has been shown to have link between both physical and verbal aggressive behavior and hostility. Similarly, interpersonal aggression has been linked to many psychological end results, such as, anxiety, depression, frustration, and stress.Item Electrodermal study of acupuncture meridian endpoint energies in health and various conditions including type 2 diabetes mellitus(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Meenakshy, K. B.Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) constitutes 95% of all diabetes incidence. The greatest increase between now and 2030 will be in India, from 19.4 to 57.2 million. Yoga constitutes one of India's many priceless gift for its management, of perennial value to the human family.Item Effect of integrated yoga module on leadership development of managers(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Padmavathi MaharanaGlobalization, technological advances, mixing of work cultures, the 2008-11 recession and subsequent changes in the nature of work, have occurred in rapid succession and are challenging to leadership practices. workplace stress is an obstacle to leadership development. the role and responsibility of leaders is vital in every industrial sector. To fulfill their responsibilities, leaders compromise their physical and mental health. that stress develops when leaders fail to address issues, and targets are not achieved, is quite evident, yet there is no search for a solution. Could yoga offer the required solution?Item Management of obesity and diabetes mellitus through yoga and naturopathy(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Shetty, PrashanthMetabolic syndromes is a disorder of energy utilization and storage, diagnosed by a co-occurrence of three out of five of the following medical conditions: sdbominal (central) obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting plasma glucose, high serum triglycerides, and high-density cholesterol (HDL) levels. non-communicable diseases, which include diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, are world's biggest killer diseases, estimated to cause 3.5 million deaths each year. Eighty percent of them are found in the low and middle-income countries. The WHO has developed an action plan for complementation of global strategies in prevention and control of non-communicable diseases. One of the objectives of this plan is develop simple strategies to identify those at risks together with appropriate and cost effective interventions.Item Yoga for working memory in adolescents(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Babu, NateshThe current education system’s focus has been on logical and scientific thinking right from the primary level. During this process, the vital part of education: detachment has been ignored. Concentration and detachment are the key processes of education for the comprehensive development of personality in the teenagers as per Swami Vivekananda. Yoga, an ancient science, in its original form consists of diverse practices, such as physical postures (äsanas), regulated breathing (präëayäma), meditation, understanding the spiritual basis of life and ethical practices. Recent studies have shown Yoga based add-on programs in Modern education, enhance psychological well-being.Item Effect of integrated approach of yoga in normal pregnancy- a randomized active control trial(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Satyapriya MaharanaRandomized prospective controlled studies have demonstrated that antenatal yoga is beneficial in many maternal outcomes including complications of pregnancy, gestational age at delivery, analgesia requirement, placental blood flow, and also in fetal outcomes with higher values on fetal intrauterine growth parameters (head circumference, femur length etc.). Apgar score at birth and birth weight, in both normal and high risk pregnancy. The present work was planned to investigate the effect of integrated yoga on labor outcome, cognitive functions and quality of life pregnant women, as this area has not been investigated before.Item Neuronal activity and cerebral blood flow changes in meditative states as defined in yoga texts(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Singh, DeepeshwarMeditation is a training in awareness, which over a long period produces definite changes in perception, attention and cognition. This connection between meditation and attention has been mentioned in traditional yoga texts, particularly Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. There are two states of meditation, focused awareness (dhäraëä) and effortless mental expansion (dhyäna). Dhäraëä is supposed to lead to meditation (dhyäna). Two non-meditative states, focused thinking (ekägratä) and random thinking (caïcalatä) have been described in the Bhagavad gétä. The practice of meditation is often associated with altered brain physiology and neuropsychological measures. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) and midlatency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEPs) were studied in four mental states as described above i.e., caïcalatä, ekägratä, dhäraëä, and dhyäna. The results showed a significant increase in wave V peak latency of BAEPs during caïcalatä, ekägratä, and dhäraëä but not in dhyäna, suggesting the auditory information transmission was delayed at the inferior collicular level during caïcalatä, ekägratä, and dhäraëä (Kumar, Nagendra, Naveen, Manjunath, & Telles, 2010). MLAEPs components, the Na and Pa waves were prolonged, suggesting that auditory information at the level of the medial geniculate and primary auditory cortex (i.e., the neural generators corresponding to the Na and Pa waves) was delayed (Telles et al., 2013). Another study assessed the performance in cancellation task and attention d2 test with the digit symbol substitution test in aforementioned sessions. The performance in cancellation task was improved significantly after dhäraëä and worsened after caïcalatä (Kumar & Telles, 2009), whereas in d2 test of attention showed that after ekägratä, and dhäraëä there was an improvement in all measures of d2 test of attention and digit symbol substituion test (Raghavendra & Telles, 2012). The effect of two meditative states on long latency auditory evoked potentials (LLAEPs), P300 event related potentials with autonomic variables and cerebral blood flow changes in prefrontal cortex during cognitive task have not been studied.
