Work-related musculoskeletal disorders among upholsterers in Poland
Authors: Mączka Katarzyna , Kaczorowska Antonina , Mroczek Agata
Published: September 2024

Background: The number of individuals with work-related musculoskeletal disorders is increasing in Poland. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to analyze and evaluate pain symptoms among upholsterers and to compare these ailments with a group of employees who do not perform physical work, as well as to examine the associations between pain intensity and frequency with age, length of employment, and somatic characteristics in both research groups.Materials and methods: Ninety-four men were examined, including 50 upholsterers and 44 non-physical workers, who were the control group. Pain location was assessed using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire, pain intensity lower back was measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the frequency of lower back pain was determined using the Jackson-Moskowitz Scale. Participants also provided information regarding their age, length of employment, and education. Body mass and height were measured.Results: Among the study participants, 94% of the upholsterers and 73% of the control group experienced pain in at least one area of the body. The largest percentage of the study participants from both groups reported pain in the lower back. Upholsterers experienced pain in their elbow joints and hands/wrists significantly more often than control group. The control group experienced pain in the upper back, neck, and hip joints significantly more often than upholsters. Significant positive correlations were found between age, length of employment, and the results of the VAS and Jackson-Moskowitz Scale in both groups.Conclusions: The locations of pain complaints in the group of upholsterers and in the group of employees who do not perform physical work differ. In both groups, lower back pain predominates. Working as an upholsterer promotes pain in the elbow joints, and wrists/hands. Performing mental and mixed work is associated with neck, upper back and hips/thighs pain. Future studies should aim to assess the prevalence and analyze the risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Legal Literature: A Descriptive Analysis
Authors: Zeenat Taher  , Rakesh Kumar Tripathi  , Sharda Acharya
Published: September 2024

‘Literature is the reflection of life.’ Thus, studying "Literature" is beneficial for one's spiritual renewal in addition to intellectual goals. The use of literary texts in language classes can foster the development of young students' critical thinking skills. The present paper emphasizes the value of "Literature" in a “Legal English” course. The "Bar Council of India" agrees that literature is important and has suggested that “Legal English” should be a compulsory subject in law schools. The authors have described how, during the COVID-19 pandemic, first-semester law school undergraduate students performed a dramatization of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice using a "Virtual Platform" (Zoom). Upon completion of the class activity, the classroom goals of group scaffolding, creative use of literary language, and cross-cultural understanding were attained.
“Who Needs a Hero? Redefining Female Agency in Jane Austen’s Novels”
Authors: Lata Tripathi  , Vinita Nanda
Published: September 2024

Written as a way of introducing the exceptionally talented mind of Jane Austen, this article explores the broad array of geniuses that she embodies. The article traces the development of her voice over the course of her novels, focusing on character perspective and creation. Austen also switches between multiple narrative perspectives (omniscient and internal monologues), providing depth to her characters within a unified story. It seems to me that this approach highlights a shining example of Austen using her language and perspective as tools, establishing an understanding that she is not merely an observer or recorder of social comment, but a text weaver. Moreover, the novels of Austen reveal a singular blend of conventional literary structure and its opposition. And as her novels of social comedy provide subtle arguments with contemporary society, and although she respects traditional forms and customs Austen also questions much of the prevailing standards of the time akin to how she pits tradition against individual growth more and more as becomes noticeable in each successive novel. This act of placing women, bold for the era given gender roles at the time, at the forefront of her narratives ensured Austen's place as a literary giantess and an early figurehead for the feminist novel. Excerpts from Austen's works, supplemented with scholarly arguments, illustrate the complexity of her narrative method and thematic investigations during the analysis. Overall, this paper contributes to the landscape of Austen adaptation as well as illuminates Austen's long-lasting ability to tell stories through English prose, all contributing to the trajectory of the novel.
The Portrayal of Domestic Conflicts in Manju Kapur’s Novel A Married Woman
Authors: N. Sathiyarajan
Published: September 2024

This research specifically examines Kapur’s literary works that expose the lack of harmony prevalent in Indian homes. Manju Kapur skilfully emphasizes the protagonist’s familial difficulties in her stories. While women in general lack autonomy, educated women actively want to achieve it. Kapur’s paintings exemplify the oppressive nature of traditional Indian culture towards women, restricting their autonomy and agency. Patriarchs and society exert significant influence over every element of women’s life. Women’s emotions, whatever of their nature, are dismissed and they are compelled to hide them. Due of this pressure, women have initiated a rebellion. Nevertheless, when Kapur’s female characters are compelled to disobey their older family members, they have difficulties in managing the situation. The researcher’s examination of each of Kapur’s books is crucial in illustrating the characters’ autonomy in decision-making. In the novel A Married Woman, the main character challenges traditional male-dominated standards and societal regulations to establish her uniqueness. However, this behaviour also creates complications in her personal life at home.
Empowering Through Emotion: The Voice of Dissent against Gender Biasness as Delineated in the Film Adaptation of The Queen of Katwe
Authors: Mansi Gupta  , Pallavi Srivastava
Published: September 2024

Without literature, it is impractical to imagine the genesis of cinema. Cinema is considered a subset of literature and has long been one of the most fascinating academic subjects with a profound impact on human psychology. Film adaptations can take several forms, ranging from precise replicas of the original source to innovative story telling. Biographies have had a major influence on movies in recent years. These book-to-film adaptations share the real-life accounts of strong women who demanded positive change as well as the stories of trailblazing women who influenced history. This research paper unveils the brilliance of a modern masterpiece, The Queen of Katwe, a book that has gardened widespread acclaim and seamlessly transformed into the cinematic gem. The film uses a moving narrative to spread the message about gender equality, women’s empowerment, and girls’ education throughout the world. This study explores the film’s narrative strategies, portrayal of major themes, and how well it works as an agent of social change.
Gender, Culture and Countering Narrative: The Fiction of Arupa Patangia Kalita
Authors: Shibani Phukan
Published: September 2024

Raymond Williams states that towards the last decades of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century, certain words gained currency in the English language and one of them was “culture.” Williams goes on to explain that during this time, the meaning of the word accrued certain changes and began to mean ‘“a general state or habit of the mind,” having close relations with the idea of human perfection,’ “the general state of intellectual development,” of a society as a whole, “the general body of arts,” and finally as a “whole way of life, material, intellectual, and spiritual.” Thus, the materiality of culture, its close relationship with literature, society, politics, history was established. In a paper titled “Gender, Culture and Countering Narrative: The Fiction of Arupa Patangia Kalita,” one seeks to examine Kalita’s novels titled Dawn and The Story of Felanee, along with some of her short stories to demonstrate how Kalita’s fiction complicates one’s understanding of Assamese history, society and culture. The paper will explore how the viewpoint of marginality put forth by Kalita’s stories and choice of protagonists challenge a homogenous construct of Assamese society and illustrate its polyphonic voices. The paper will endeavour to study how characters who occupy marginal and interstitial spaces challenge and reshape one’s understanding of dominant history, politics and culture of Assam. The fiction chosen for perusal will thus offer not just a gendered perspective on Assamese society and therefore a critique of a patriarchal viewpoint, but also make an intervention in terms of foregrounding perspectives arising out of one’s ethnicity or community. The paper will thus hope to establish that Kalita’s fiction by focusing on the continuities as well as the discontinuities of Assamese society succeeds in capturing the divergent and polyphonic voices and concerns of the people who come to be known as the Assamese.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) OR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR): ENCOURAGING SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTION
Authors: Steiner Vera Lúcia
Published: September 2024

This paper analyzes cooperative social responsibility and the incentive to sustainable consumption in contemporary society. To this end, a study is made of conscious or responsible consumption, verifying its main aspects in today's consumer society, then over-indebtedness and its aspects are investigated. Finally, we look at environmental, social and governance (ESG), which is translated into Portuguese as cooperative social responsibility (CSR) on the part of companies to minimize the problems presented. In order to mitigate the problem of conscious consumption, private companies are called upon to take on the role in those situations in which the government is not present. And the means that companies have found to accomplish this task is through Social Responsibility or social transformation in society in order to reach their customers. The method used is the deductive analytical one, with a qualitative approach, based on bibliographical references from books, scientific articles published on the “Periódicos” platform, theses and dissertations published by CAPES. The conclusion is that companies can develop financial education activities and encourage conscious and sustainable consumption, as people from all social classes are affected and need alternatives.

Climate change has a considerable influence on agricultural output, raising farmers’ production risk. Nevertheless, the risk can be mitigated by selecting stable genotypes. In countries such as India, where significant proportions of farmers are smallholders or operate on marginal land, the minimization of risk is of paramount importance. Existing methods of stability measures often result in low-yielding varieties. Consequently, there is a need to develop more effective stability strategy to solve this problem without reducing yield. In light of the preceding, the Rank Based Stability Index (RSI) has been proposed for choosing genotypes based on the rank of interaction residuals to mitigate the influence of climatic changes without compromising yield. Through statistical analyses, the RSI approach demonstrates its ability to discern stable genotypes resilient to environmental fluctuations. By evaluating genotype performance across multiple environments and seasons, RSI identifies cultivars with consistent yield performance, thus offering a valuable tool for enhancing crop resilience and ensuring food security. The effectiveness of the proposed RSI approach for selecting stable genotypes from groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) data has been notably demonstrated in comparison to other methods. RSI emerges as a promising methodology for genotype selection in groundnut, offering a robust framework for mitigating the influence of climatic changes on crop yields.
Biology of Trichogramma chilonis under varying conditions and their parasitism efficiency in lepidopteran pests
Authors: A ANISHA , O P RANI
Published: September 2024

The experiment was conducted during 2021 to 2023 at College of Agriculture (Kerala Agricultural University), Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala to evaluate the biology of the egg parasitoid Trichogramma chilonis Ishii under different conditions and its effectiveness in parasitizing lepidopteran pests. Field efficacy of T. chilonis in managing Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee, in brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Supriya was carried out in randomized block design (RBD) with five treatments (T1, Trichocards @2.5 cc/ha; T2, Trichocards @5 cc/ha; T3, Trichocards @10 cc/ha; T4, Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 sc 0.2 ml/litre, which was the chemical check; and Untreated control) replicated four times. Findings from the study on seasonal biology demonstrated that the developmental period was shortest in summer compared to that in monsoon and winter. Monsoon conditions were more conducive for factors such as sex-ratio, emergence rate and adult longevity, making it the optimal season for its mass production. When Corcyra cephalonica Stainton eggs were stored for varying durations (5, 10, 15 days) under refrigeration, it was observed that the development period of T. chilonis was unaffected. However, adult longevity and sex-ratio gradually decreased with an increase in storage duration, with 10 days being identified as the ideal duration. T. chilonis effectively parasitized eggs of various lepidopteran pests including okra shoot and fruit borer (Earias vittella Fabricius), brinjal shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee), tobacco cutworm (Spodoptera litura Fabricius), cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera Hubner) and lemon butterfly (Papilio polytes Linnaeus). Field experiments indicated that controlling brinjal shoot and fruit borer infestations was successful by using trichocards at 10 cc/ha in the initial three releases and reducing it to 5 cc/ha. Plots treated with trichocards at 10 cc/ha yielded the highest quantity of marketable fruits, with all treatments proving profitable over the control. Among the different doses of trichocards, the highest dose (10 cc/ha) had the most favourable cost-benefit ratio (1:1.03). The population of natural enemies remained stable across various trichocard doses (42.25–46.25), contrasting with a notable decrease in plots treated with chlorantraniliprole 18.5 sc (23.5).

The present experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) seasons of 2021–22 and 2022–23 at Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agriculture University, Hisar, Haryana to study the effect of different drip irrigation and fertigation levels on quality and seed yield in fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) crop. The experiment was laid out in a split-split plot design in which 2 fennel varieties, viz. HF-143 and Hisar Swarup were grown with 4 levels of different irrigation scheduling, viz. I1, 0.6 IW/CPE (Irrigation water/Cumulative pan evapo-transpiration); I2, 0.8 IW/CPE; I3, 1.0 IW/CPE and I4, 1.2 IW/CPE as main plot treatments and 3 different nitrogen levels i.e. N1, 20 kg/ha; N2, 35 kg/ha and N3, 50 kg/ha as sub-sub plots treatment. A range of nitrogen levels was applied in the experimental field through drip irrigation. It was clear from the study that irrigation scheduled at 1.2 IW/ CPE resulted significantly higher values when irrigated for quality parameters (test weight, seed germination and vigour indices I and II) and seed yield, which was statically at par with 1.0 IW/CPE. Maximum seed yield (15.5 g/plant), test weight (5.0 g), seed germination (84.0%) and vigour indices I (1,518.98) and II (281.13) were significantly recorded at nitrogen levels 50 kg/ha. Higher seed’s yield and quality parameters were recoded in variety HF-143 than Hisar Swarup. Based on the current study, it can be concluded that in the western region of Haryana, fennel variety HF-143 obtains better results, both in terms of quality and yield parameters when grown at irrigation scheduling IW/CPE 1.0 with 50 kg/ha of nitrogen level.

Published: September 2024

The experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) seasons of 2022 and 2023 at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, Pune, Maharashtra to evaluate the natural variants of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), PTS-8, PTS-25 and PTS-29, isolated from Pusa Gaurav and EC538421. The identified line evaluated along with parental lines (Pusa Gaurav and EC-538421); PTS-24; Pusa Rohini and Arka Rakshak for morphological characterization and tomato leaf curl virus (ToLCV) incidence. Plant height ranged from 41.35–144.33 cm and early flowering (30–33 days) was observed in lines, PTS-24, PTS-25, and PTS-29. Large sized fruits (72–76 g) were recorded in PTS-8 and PTS-25, while highest yield (138.65 t/ha) was recorded in PTS-25. PTS-24 and PTS-25 recorded low seed content of 0.28 g and 0.37 g/100 g fresh fruit, respectively which is desirable for utility in processing industry and for raw consumption. Highest vitamin C content (38.87 mg/100 g FW) was observed in PTS-24. Incidence of ToLCV was lowest in PTS-8 (5.33%), followed by EC538421 (6.25%), PTS -29 (6.61%) and Arka Rakshak (6.93%). Pusa Rohini was most susceptible line (48.42%). All the lines were screened for leaf curl, CMV and aphid/nematode resistance/ tolerance markers with 12 different primers. Line EC538421, its variants PTS-8, PTS-29 and Arka Rakshak showed amplification of resistant fragment (900 bp, T0302 primer) for ToLCV resistant marker Ty-2. All the lines were tested negative for other resistance markers. Principal component analysis revealed that traits such as number of fruits/plant, yield, disease intensity, seeds/fruit etc. were some of the principal discriminatory characteristics. These identified lines can be utilized in breeding programmes to develop improved tomato cultivars.

O absenteísmo e a evasão na enfermagem são fenômenos que afetam a qualidade e a eficiência dos serviços de saúde, bem como a formação e a satisfação dos acadêmicos e profissionais da área. Deste modo, o presente artigo compromete-se a analisar as causas e consequências de ambas as mazelas – recorrentes durante a graduação –, além de propor vias de aperfeiçoamento voltadas ao ensino superior. Por conseguinte, o presente escrito objetiva sanar tais obstáculos fomentando a evolução da enfermagem enquanto categoria. Para tanto, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa de periódicos científicos – publicados nos últimos 10 anos – que abordaram o tema sob diferentes perspectivas teóricas e metodológicas. Os resultados indicaram que tanto o absenteísmo quanto a evasão durante o curso de enfermagem estão relacionados a fatores individuais, organizacionais e sociais que interferem na saúde, produtividade e bem-estar de todo o corpo acadêmico. Dentre estes coeficientes, destacam-se, em minúcias, a falta de reconhecimento, a sobrecarga de trabalho, o estresse, a baixa remuneração, a insatisfação, falta de apoio e de orientação, a inadequação curricular e a dificuldade de inserção no mercado de trabalho. É precisamente diante de tal cenário que a pesquisa atual sugere algumas propostas estratégicas de lapidação para o ensino superior na enfermagem, tais como: a revisão e atualização dos currículos, a adoção de metodologias ativas de ensino-aprendizagem, a valorização e capacitação dos docentes, a promoção da saúde dos estudantes e funcionários, a integração entre teoria e prática, a articulação entre academia e mundo laboral e, nomeadamente, a ampliação das oportunidades de emprego e carreira. Logo, o artigo conclui que estas propostas seriam capazes de contribuir para a mitigação dos problemas diagnosticados – e, ainda, para o progresso da excelência educacional na enfermagem, bem como da assistência em saúde.

. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood and is characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Moreover, ADHD often co-occurs with other comorbid conditions (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc.). ADHD symptoms interfere with a person's functioning and development. The etiology and pathophysiology of ADHD are not fully understood; Both genetic and environmental factors are associated with the disease and its severity. The lack of a comprehensive understanding of the underlying molecular pathology complicates both diagnosis and treatment. Treatment of ADHD requires a multidisciplinary approach based on a combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments to improve symptoms.

This study quantitatively investigates a Newtonian model for blood flow in a human blood vessel with an atherosclerotic artery. For numerical investigation, the Newtonian flow model of blood flow is used. COMSOL Multiphysics is used for the simulation of the model. The governing equation system, that is depends on incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, considers blood characteristics. Examining the blood flow pattern through an atherosclerotic artery is the aim of this investigation. To solve the governing system of equations with boundary conditions, the finite element model by COMSOL Multiphysics is used. The results have been shown concerning velocity, pressure, and streamlines. Graphical cross-sectional maps of velocity magnitude, pressure, and streamline over the atherosclerotic contraction are also shown. The blood flow simulation findings indicate that the blood flow velocity rises near the plaques. This paper will analyze how the quantity of atherosclerotic plaque controls blood flow through an atherosclerotic artery, assuming the flow is steady and the blood is treated as Newtonian Fluid Model.

Okra (Abelmoscus esculentus (L) Moench) is widely known and utilized vegetable crop in tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world. In Ethiopia, including Gambella, okra production and yield improvement have not been attained due to a lack of appropriate production practices, including fertilizer use recommendations. Hence, this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of NPS fertilizer rates on growth, yield, yield components, and quality of okra. The treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications with eight levels of NPS fertilizer application rates. Data collection and measurement was done according to scientific recommendation for each parameter; data analysis was done using statistical analysis software version 9.3 (SAS, 2008). Results indicated that the NPS fertilizer had a significant influence on the growth, yield, yield components, and quality parameters of okra. The maximum number of branches (4.2), leaf area (890 cm2), number of pods per plant (7.6), pod length (30.9 cm), individual pod weight (18.0 g), fresh biomass yield (814.2 g), dry biomass yield (248.7 g), number of seeds per pod (96.3), total soluble solute (4.9), and pod yield per hectare (15.9t ha-1) were obtained from the NPS rate of (75-90-16.5) kg ha-1. The highest pod diameter (2.7cm) was obtained from NPS fertilizer rate of 50–60–11 kg ha-1 which was statistically similar with (2.4cm) at NPS rate of 75–90–16.5 kg ha-1. Similarly, the maximum pod dry matter content (27.1) was obtained from NPS fertilizer rate of 100–120–22 kg ha-1 which was also statistically on par with (25.9) at NPS rate of 75–90–16.5 kg ha-1. The economic feasibility analysis showed that the maximum net benefit (Birr 232740.4 ha-1) with highest MRR (3625.53%) was obtained from application of 75kgN-90kgP2O5-16.5kgS per hectare, whereas the lowest (Birr 118500 ha-1) was obtained from the unfertilized. Application of NPS fertilizer resulted to gain (114240.4 Birr ha-1) more compared unfertilized. Therefore, NPS fertilizer rate of 75–90–16.5  kg ha-1 appears to be the optimum practice for higher yield and is economically feasible with maximum net benefit (Birr 232740.4 ha- 1) and the highest MRR (3625.53%) of the local cultivar okra in the Abobo area. Further increase in NPS rate above (75-90-16.5) kg ha-1 did not bring about significant changes in yield, suggesting that NPS (75-90-16.5) kg ha-1 is the optimum rate to obtain the highest green pod yield of okra.

A notable proportion (10%-20%) of children with epilepsy remain unresponsive to pharmacological treatment. Current strategies for the management of refractory epilepsy encompass surgical treatments (vagus nerve stimulation) as well as the adoption of a Ketogenic Diet. By adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we conducted a systematic review to identify all relevant studies in English language that investigated the effectiveness of a Ketogenic diet in children with refractory epilepsy. A total of 125 studies were identified and eight, involving a total of 1330 patients, met the criteria. Of the identified eight studies, one was randomized controlled trial, one was systematic review/meta-analysis, and the rest were observational studies. More than half (54%) of the participants reported seizure resolution, while 17% became seizurefree after one month of initiating the ketogenic diet. Ketogenic diet have been shown to be efficacious for the treatment of epilepsy in infants.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the influence of perceived benefit and perceived risk on purchase decisions mediated by purchase intention in Alfagift application users. Perceived benefit refers to the benefits felt by consumers when using an application, while perceived risk relates to potential losses or uncertainties that may be faced. Purchase intention is the consumer's intention to buy, which is influenced by the perception of benefits and risks. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method to collect data from Alfagift application users. Data analysis was carried out using multiple regression models and path analysis to test the role of purchase intention as a mediating variable. The results of the study show that perceived benefits have a significant positive influence on purchase intention and purchase decision. On the other hand, perceived risk has a negative effect on purchase intention, but does not directly affect purchase decision without being mediated by purchase intention. Purchase intention has proven to be an important mediator in the relationship between perceived benefit, perceived risk, and purchase decision. These findings provide insights for app developers to improve perceived benefits and mitigate risks to drive consumer intent and purchase decisions.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has changed how poultry farming is carried out, offering various advantages to farmers. One notable benefit is the real-time monitoring of bird breeding tasks, ensuring the well-being of the animals. Farmers can enhance their operations through task automation by incorporating an edge server for local sensor data processing. Tasks automation enables farmers to make informed decisions, improving production efficiency, bird quality, and agribusiness profits. However, poultry farming faces challenges, with disaster recovery a critical concern. Potential events like fires, power outages, or equipment failures can significantly impact birds and production. Consequently, continuous monitoring of birds is vital, and any disruptions must be minimized to uphold system integrity. This study introduces Stochastic Petri Nets (SPN) models to evaluate the availability and reliability of an intelligent bird breeding system. The system integrates a disaster recovery solution for uninterrupted operations. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is conducted on the components of the smart poultry system to pinpoint the most relevant one to the system's availability in the proposed architecture. This analysis can aid system architects in developing distributed architectures, considering points of failure and recovery measures. The study results demonstrate the system's high availability and reliability, enabling farmers to make informed decisions and improve the overall productivity of their farms.

More and more people nowadays feel stressed out. In many cases this even leads to burnout. They feel empty, they cannot go on anymore, they are without motivation, power, and joy. Over the past ten years, the number of people suffering from this state of exhaustion has quintupled in Germany and more than one third of the work force feels that way. In addition, 79% of them show signs of stress and are unable to relax after hours. A similar situation can be seen in sports: The athletes dream of winning titles, they need success as a means of approval of personal strength. In addition, top-performance sports have become much more financially lucrative. All of this has led to rising mental and physical demands. Due to this, athletes experience more exhaustion, extreme performance fluctuations, mood swings, and often inexplicable injuries. This book provides tips on how to improve your quality of life and performance, and how to stay healthy and productive by recognizing and correcting biochemical disorders at an early stage. With an optimal supply of energy, many of these symptoms of overload can be avoided. Many international top athletes (Olympic champions, World and European champions) have been profiting from these findings for the past few years and are able to train - pain- and injury-free - on a higher level of performance.
