Background: In developing and developed countries, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has grown. The college phase is a critical period during which healthy behaviors are learned through lifestyle and social environment. College students are prone to increased stress, negatively affecting their daily activities and academic performance. Objective: The general study objective was to investigate the prevalence of obesity among Jazan University students. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study used a pre-tested self-administered anonymous electronic questionnaire to evaluate the prevalence of obesity among 474 Jazan University students and its association with academic performance, physical activity, and social support. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, and associations between variables were assessed using the chi-square test. Results: Approximately 21% and 9.2% of the male and female students were obese, respectively, and the prevalence of obesity significantly differed between them. The use of one or more tobacco products was significantly associated with the prevalence of obesity (P < 0.001); the prevalence of obesity was substantially higher among the tobacco product users than among the non-users (35.3% vs. 14.4%). The presence of a morbidity was also significantly associated with the prevalence of obesity (P = 0.007); the prevalence of obesity was significantly higher among the students with at least one comorbidity than among the medically free students (28.8% vs. 14.9%). Conversely, obesity was not associated with academic performance and depression. Specifically, the grade point average was not affected across the academic years (P = 0.085 and P = 0.308, respectively). Conclusion: Obesity is significantly associated with male sex and the use of one or more tobacco products. This finding warrants the need for strategic and multidisciplinary plans at all levels to encourage healthy behaviors among college students, including an active, healthy lifestyle.

Authors: Verma Narendra , Shete Shrikant , Verma Abhishek
Published: March 2024

Background: Isometric handgrip (IHG) exercises can be a simple tool and an effective, time-consumable test that may be beneficial for blood pressure (BP) regulation. Hypertension prevention or BP control is necessary nowadays. Isometric exercise evokes the contractions of skeletal muscle without altering their length, but changes in the tension of the muscle occur. Through lifestyle modification, static exercises maintain the desired BP in individuals other than aerobic exercises.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effective changes of isometric handgrip exercise on young, healthy subjects and determine changes in heart rate (HR) and BP before and after exercise.

Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled study has been conducted in the department of physiology at JMC Rajasthan for 3 months. The study sample included 72 volunteer subjects (40 male and 32 females) aged 19–25 years, and handgrip spring dynamometers are used for IHE exercise training. The IHE training group performed handgrip exercises for 3 months at 30% of their maximum isometric contraction, 3 times/week for five 3-min bouts with 5-min rest periods between each bout. Before and after the intervention, BP and HR were measured. The P-value was advised significantly at 0.05.

Results: At the completion of 3 months of IHE exercise training, significant changes are seen in HR and BP in all healthy volunteers (P < 0.001 for all forms of BP) (HR, P = 0.014). In female volunteer and diastolic BP, it decreases significantly, but no significant changes are seen in systolic BP, mean arterial pressure, and HR.

Conclusion: IHG exercise training reduces or regulates baseline BP and HR and explores the potential of this intervention for managing or preventing hypertension.
Does inadequate sleep predispose to weight gain? A cross-sectional analysis among medical undergraduates
Authors: Kaushik Navneet , Sharma Anju , Kumar Anil , Singh Mohita
Published: March 2024

Background: Adequate sleep is essential for optimal health. Sleep deprivation has been shown to be associated with adverse health outcomes, including weight gain and obesity. Medical students represent one of the at-risk populations for sleep deprivation.

Aims and Objectives: This study was aimed at exploring the relationship between inadequate sleep and weight gain in the medical student population.

Materials and Methods: The present analytical and cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 126 undergraduate medical students (95 males and 31 females) within the age range 18–25 years at an institute in Southern Haryana, India. Sociodemographic and usual sleep-wake habits during the preceding month information about the participants were gathered through self-administration of a structured pro forma compiled as Google Forms. Height and weight of each subject were measured reliably using standard instruments and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Data were expressed using suitable statistical measures and analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.

Results: Our study revealed a significant association between subjective sleep quality and weight gain with those perceiving their sleep as poor being much more likely to be overweight (Crude Odd’s ratio; 95% confidence interval: 3.45; 1.33–8.95). Students reporting usually getting inadequate sleep and difficulty in falling asleep were also found to have a higher frequency of being overweight (76.9% vs. 23.1%, 61.5% vs. 38.5%, respectively). A small, though statistically insignificant, difference in mean BMI was also seen; students who reported getting insufficient sleep (<7 h), taking ≥30 min to fall asleep, and rated their sleep quality as poor outweighed their counterparts.

Conclusion: The findings of our study suggest that inadequate sleep might predispose to weight gain and obesity, though the same needs to be explored through a longitudinal approach controlling for potential confounders to arrive at a definitive conclusion.
Brainstem auditory evoked responses in newly diagnosed untreated hypothyroid females
Authors: V Roseline , S Bhuvaneswari , D Thenmozhi , M Edwin
Published: March 2024

Background: Hypothyroidism stands as a prevalent endocrine disorder, affecting females more than males. Among the array of otolaryngological manifestations linked with thyroid dysfunctions, sensorineural hearing loss emerges as the most frequently encountered issue. Evoked potentials serve as valuable tools extensively utilized in studying brain disturbances. Among these evoked potentials, Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) stands out as one of the methods employed for assessing the pathology within the brainstem auditory pathway.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study is to evaluate the auditory sensory process in the brainstem using BAERs in newly diagnosed untreated hypothyroid individuals.

Materials and Methods: Forty newly diagnosed untreated hypothyroid females of 20–50 years were taken as cases and forty age-matched females were considered controls. The hypothyroidism was diagnosed by estimating the serum levels of free T3 (fT3), free T4 (fT4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone. After getting informed written consent, the absolute latencies and interpeak latencies of BAER were recorded using NeuroPerfect EMG 2000 system with installed BAER in the research laboratory, Department of Physiology, Coimbatore Medical College, Coimbatore, and the data were analyzed by student unpaired t-test.

Results: The absolute latencies I, III, V and interpeak latencies I- III, III- V, I – V were significantly prolonged in newly diagnosed untreated hypothyroid females (P < 0.0001) and also there was a direct correlation between thyroid profile changes and the BAER latencies.

Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that hypothyroidism impacts the auditory pathway diffusely and early identification of auditory pathway involvement in thyroid hormone deficiency can be achieved using BAER. Prolonged BAER latencies observed in newly diagnosed untreated hypothyroid females are attributed to defective myelination of neural pathways and diminished cerebral metabolism. Hence, integrating BAER recordings into screening protocols could enhance the accuracy and early assessment of neurological involvement in hypothyroid females.

Published: March 2024

Background: The first-line treatment for people with acute mania, mood disorders, severe depression, and catatonia is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The goal of anesthesia during ECT is to cause unconsciousness, and the drugs administered should not have any effect on seizures. Because all anesthetics have some ability to change seizures, the kind of anesthetic used in modified ECT becomes crucial. This study aimed to assess the hemodynamic profile during modified ECT and the effects of ketamine and thiopentone sodium on seizure duration.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the outcome of ECT, such as hemodynamics, improvement in depression, and duration of seizure, with ketamine versus thiopentone sodium in depressive disorder.

Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted with 50 randomly selected depression patients after obtaining permission from the Institutional Ethics Committee and consent from the patients and attendants from June 2021 to November 2022. All 50 cases were equally divided into group K and group T. To obtain the data, a predesigned, semi-structured questionnaire was used along with the Hamilton rating scale for depression and ECT. The Chi-square test was used to measure the association between two categorical variables. A P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: The mean heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and saturation of peripheral oxygen are higher in group K than in group T, and the mean difference was significant between group K and group T. Groups had a statistically significant association with increased secretions, nausea and vomiting, and headache, but not with gender, ASA grade, and number of ECT sessions.

Conclusion: Compared to ketamine, thiopentone sodium was found to have minimal hemodynamic derangements, a decrease in seizure duration, and side effects.

Published: March 2024

Conventional plastics are deemed to be harmful to the health of the people, wildlife, and environment. Therefore,developing biodegradable plastics is needed because it is a better alternative to conventional plastics since theycan be broken down through natural processes. This study investigates the effectiveness of eggshells and waterhyacinth as one of the main components of biodegradable plastic. Three variations of biodegradable plastic weremade in this study, one with 70% eggshell and 30% water hyacinth; the second one has 30% eggshell and 70%water hyacinth; and finally, 50% eggshell and 50% water hyacinth was recommended due to its poor plasticproperty. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was used for comparison. Experiments were conducted to test each ofthe biodegradable plastics’ durability, elasticity, ductility, and solubility. After analyzing the results, it suggests thatthere is a significant difference in durability, elasticity, and solubility but no significant difference in ductility. Theresults of this study also suggest that the biodegradable plastic with 30% eggshell and 70% water hyacinth hashigher durability and elasticity while decreasing its solubility in water. In contrast, bioplastic with 70% eggshell and30% water hyacinth has lower durability, elasticity, and higher ductility and solubility. Finally, the bioplastic with50% eggshell and 50% water hyacinth has the least durability and moderate elasticity, ductility, and solubility.

ENSURING FOOD SECURITY THROUGH IMPORT SUBSTITUTION OF MILK
Authors: Bayanova Olga
Published: March 2024

The scientific article conducts a theoretical and economic study of the problems of ensuring food security through import substitution, import and export of milk. A review of the scientific literature showed the relevance of the study; many domestic and foreign scientists are directing their scientific interests to the development of an effective mechanism for ensuring the development of agricultural production sectors, and in particular the dairy product complex. In the field of interest of scientists are the problems of ensuring growth in production volumes, the prospects for reducing and completely eliminating the import of milk, as well as the possibility of increasing milk exports in certain regions. For the period from 2013 to 2022, according to official statistics, we observe an increase in milk production volumes, while in 2015 a decrease of 0.4% was detected, and in 2016 by 0.3%. Over the past three years, milk imports do not exceed 18% of the total dairy resource, which indicates food security at the level of 83%. The growth rate of milk exports significantly exceeds the growth rate of its imports; their value has crossed the mark of 114%. It was revealed that the growth of milk volumes was significantly influenced by the annual increase in cow productivity in the ten-year study period; a decrease in milk production volumes was observed in those periods when the number of animals decreased significantly. A slight decrease in milk production volumes in 2015 and 2016 did not have a detrimental effect on milk sales volumes; milk sales volumes, according to official statistics, have been trending upward over the past 10 years.

Authors: Bayanova Olga
Published: March 2024

The scientific article contains a theoretical review of scientific literature on the problems of increasing potato production in conditions of import substitution, ensuring storage and sales, as well as prospects for reducing imports and developing a potato export network. A study of potato production volumes in 2012 – 2021 was conducted. An increase in potato production volumes was revealed in 2014, 2015 and 2018; in the same years, a decrease in crop production volumes was observed. In 2016, 2020 and 2021, there was a decrease in potato production volumes of up to 12% compared to previous years; in the same years, there was a decrease in its yield (up to 7%) and sown areas (up to 9%). The area under agricultural crops in the Russian Federation occupied more than 117 million hectares, and by 2022 it had decreased to 80 million hectares. The leaders in potato production in 2023 are the Bryansk, Tula, Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod regions; the Perm Territory is not included in the TOP 20 for potato production. Imports of potatoes into the Russian Federation in 2019–2021 did not exceed 5% of the volume of all potatoes produced domestically, which indicates a level of food security in the range of 95–97%. An analysis of potato export volumes in 2019 – 2021 showed a sharp decrease (by half): in 2019, 3% of potatoes produced in the country were exported, in 2020 – 4%, and in 2021 – less than 2%. Thus, there is great potential for priority development of the potato growing industry.

Authors: Ruqoyyah Ruqoyyah , Wasik Wasik
Published: March 2024

Implementing a learning method requires guidance and supervision. In many cases, teachers are often required to implement a new method without any guidance and supervision. There is one application of learning methods that provides guidance and supervision, namely the application of the Ummi learning method in improving the ability to read and memorize the Al-Qur'an. This is worth studying. For this reason, this research is aimed at revealing how to implement supervision activities by focusing on three things, namely: steps, techniques and factors inhibiting and supporting these supervision activities. The research was carried out in two locations: SMPN 1 Sampang and SDN 1 Dalpenang Sampang. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques: non-participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of related sources. The research results obtained are first, the stages of implementing supervision in both institutions include daily, weekly and monthly supervision. Second, the technique for implementing Ummi method supervision in both institutions is in the form of individual and group techniques. Individual supervision techniques include class visits, individual meetings and document observation, while group techniques include school visits, evaluation meetings and teaching demonstrations. Third, the supporting factors for implementing the Ummi method of supervision in both institutions are support from school principals and parents who encourage supervisors to continue to supervise, supervisors' activeness and teacher welfare as well as adequate facilities. The inhibiting factors are the lack of supervision time and the lack of supervisors which is not commensurate with the number of existing groups. The results of the research have implications for supervisors being able to emphasize the objectives of supervision, so that supervision activities are not understood as a form of supervision but as mentoring and guidance activities.
