Published: November 2024

World Health Organization recommends limiting daily common salt to 5 g for a healthy person to reduce sodium intake, as excess sodium can lead to elevated blood pressure, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases. However, many individuals consume double that amount through various food sources. Considering that approximately 40% of common salt contains sodium and other foods have varying quantities of sodium, the initiative is to propose an alternative ingredient called Taste Plus, developed from natural sources, that maintains the taste perception of common salt while reducing sodium intake.
Taste Plus is a complex mixture of food additives with a polysaccharide carrier base that easily fuses with foodstuffs. Extensive laboratory testing and verification have demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing sodium content. The study's overall finding is that adding 0.2% Taste Plus TMT tool, which helps deduct 5 g of salt from every 100 g of seasoning, can reduce sodium in a recipe by up to 20% while retaining the same salty perception as before.

A Study To Evaluate The Effect Of Back Pack Load On Weight Bearing, Among School Children, Using Digital Weighing Machine
Authors: - Bindu Ninan , - Sajjad Ebrahim
Published: November 2024

Background and objective: The impact of musculoskeletal diseases is widespread among student population and may affect any age group. Some conditions often last from adolescence into adulthood. Notably, most of the studies assessed the weight distribution over the foot using force plates and other posturography units. To identify the effect of backpack loads and the carrying patterns of the students on the weight-bearing of the children using digital weighing machines.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was done on 150 school going children aged 10 to 14 years.The asymmetric weight distribution of foot was checked using a digital weighing machine in 3 patterns; backpack weight on the right shoulder, backpack weight on the left shoulder and backpack weight on both the shoulders.
Results: Statistically significant differences were noted between the weight bearing of the normal standing when compared to the standing either with a shoulder bag on the right side or on the left side. Also, significant differences were noted between the weight bearing of normal standing weight and standing with shoulder bag on both sides. (P< 0.001)
Conclusion: When carrying a load bilaterally or unilaterally, the result shows a statistical variation when compared to vertical standing with no weight. Musculoskeletal changes may be suspected in the future if proper awareness programs are not implemented in schools and at home. Additionally, the relevant authority’s lack of awareness about the ideal bag weight was a noted disadvantage. Backpacks with additional horizontal straps can reduce these stresses; modification of bag weight, as well as activities such as core muscle strengthening, can be some of the precautionary measures that can be incorporated into the school curriculum beginning from the primary school itself.

Authors: - Ateeb Usman , - Neha Usman , - Muhammad Usman Akhtar , - Zulfqar A Atiq
Published: November 2024

Dental radiography is widely used by clinicians in dentistry, whereas in radiology continuously and rapidly developing devices have become integral to dental practices. The conventional dental x-rays have limited diagnostic value as being two-dimensional (2D) depictions of three dimensional (3D) oral cavity. The Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) currently in practice, is considered to be gold standard for diagnostic assessment in orofacial dentistry. CBCT enables a precise 3D image of the orofacial region and provides more accuracy in evaluating the architecture, contouring and density of the bone and soft tissues. It has wide implementation in implant dentistry. This research article evaluates the accuracy of the diagnostic imaging technique CBCT for postoperative accuracy. In 22 patients, 136 implants were replaced for missing teeth with equal males to female ratio. 56 implants were placed in maxilla and 80 in mandible. The age of the group was between 45 to 60 yrs. Variety of implant systems with endosseous implants were replaced to accommodate and facilitate the missing teeth. All patients underwent CBCT Scan before and also within 06 months
of implant placement. Standard torque of 25 Newton and 35 Newton were applied to stabilize the implants in the osteotomy cut in maxilla and mandible respectively. The patients were given prosthetic part after securing interim period of osseointigration with prefabricated available abutments. The results were evaluated preoperatively and post operatively on CBCT image for
measurements of bone height and width at different level along with implant size variations in CBCT images. It has been significant dimensional changes observed in bone height measuring by Shapiro-Wilk test for normality (P = 0.0033, two-tailed), indicating a small but meaningful change in bone height following surgery. In coronal width using a paired t-test, no statistically significant
difference pre- and postoperative measurements (P = 0.9232) was noted likewise in apical width 2
(P = 0.9232) indicating stability after surgery. The implant height and width post CBCT images measured comparative to actual implant size, they are statistically significant (P < 0.0001) in both directions, indicating a slight overestimation in both height and width by CBCT, underscoring the need to account for these variations in clinical practice.

Published: November 2024

Any attentive reader to the organization of the Modian text will certainly be surprised by the profusion of fragmented phrase structures that are divided and disjoined, forms which do not conform to the model of the canonical sentence and other elements of inconsistency or rupture within the narrative frame. This sounds evident in any novel of Modiano to be convinced about it. One can notice the presence of a set of unfinished sentences, the use ellipsis marks, and see how one is overwhelmed by a plethora of figures such as parcellarization, ellipse, reluctance ... which, by the syntactic discontinuities and thematic rupture generate, commonlythe influence of the textual organization and sometimes compromise the narrative texture.
It is within this the context that our study is framed. Through a stylistic analysis of the phrase structures, approached from a textual perspective, we seek to define closely the influence of the use of all these procedures on textual cohesion and coherence while assessing their effects on narration in order to understand how the Modian text generates meaning.

System and Method to provide a keyless mechanism to encrypt/decrypt Memory Context
Authors: - Amit Rai , - Puja Kumari , - Naveen rai
Published: November 2024

In contemporary computing environments, safeguarding sensitive data is of paramount importance. Traditional encryption methods often rely on keys, which themselves pose security risks due to potential loss or compromise. In response to this challenge, this paper proposes a keyless mechanism for encrypting and decrypting memory context, leveraging the innovative keyless user defined optimal security (KUDOS) algorithm. Traditional encryption methods rely on
cryptographic keys, which pose inherent security risks and complexity in key management. In contrast, the KUDOS algorithm offers a novel approach to encryption without the need for explicit cryptographic keys, providing enhanced security and simplicity in the encryption process. By deriving encryption parameters from the memory context itself, the KUDOS algorithm ensures
robust protection of sensitive data stored in memory while eliminating the vulnerabilities associated with key storage and transmission. This paper presents the theoretical foundations of the KUDOS algorithm, along with practical implementation strategies for integrating keyless encryption and decryption mechanisms into memory management systems. Through experimental evaluation and analysis, we demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed keyless mechanism for securing memory context in various computing environments. The KUDOS algorithm holds significant promise for enhancing security and privacy in memory management
systems, offering a keyless encryption solution that is both robust and scalable

Authors: - ANUPRIYA P , - PRIYA S
Published: November 2024

Background:
Knee osteoarthritis (OA), the most common arthritis type, causes pain and limits daily activities, especially in older adults. Age-related declines in proprioception and joint position sense increase joint load and impair neuromuscular control. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship between functional mobility and knee proprioception in OA patients, aiming to clarify their impact on treatment and mobility outcomes.
Methods:
A total of 33 participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study based on the inclusion criteria. Functional mobility was assessed using three clinical measures: the Stair Climb Test (SCT), the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and the Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST). Participants completed an initial trial of the 6MWT, and proprioception error was measured using a digital inclinometer. The FTSST and SCT were repeated three times after the first trial, with participants sitting high and holding for 5 seconds between each trial, returning to full knee extension before starting again.
Results:
Karl Pearson Correlation test demonstrated that there was a statistically significant moderately negative correlation was found between the FTSST and proprioception error (r=-0.444: p<0.05). There was a positive correlation between 6MWT and proprioception error (r=+0.132: p>0.05) and a low negative correlation between the SCT and proprioception errors (r=-0.018: p>0.05) but was not statistically significant.
Conclusion:
The study indicated that reduced physical mobility impairs proprioception, potentially contributing to or resulting from OA. It concluded that individuals with knee osteoarthritis had greater proprioception errors, with lower physical performance correlating to more pronounced proprioceptive deficits.

This study focused on the relationship between empathy and prosocial behavior among individuals aged between 18 to 30 years old . The sample consisted of 90 individuals, including both students and working professionals. The study used the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (TEQ) to assess empathy and the Prosocialness Scale for Adults (PSA) was used to measure behavior with the aim of establishing if there exists a notable correlation, between these distinct factors. The study found a significant positive correlation (r = 0.847, p<.001) between empathy and prosocial behavior, suggesting that individuals with higher empathy are more likely to engage in prosocial acts. These results offer supporting evidence for establishing theories like the Empathy-Altruism Hypothesis and the Emotional Contagion Theory, which propose that empathy plays a crucial role in motivating altruistic behavior. According to the study, developing empathy in young people may improve prosocial behavior, resulting in more compassionate and socially responsible communities.

Authors: Badawi Habib
Published: November 2024

Objectives

This study examines Japan's security policy evolution from post-World War II pacifism to its current assertive stance, analyzing historical context, key drivers, and challenges. It focuses on shifts under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, exploring implications for regional stability and international relations, including the U.S.-Japan alliance and emerging security threats.

Methods

The research employs a qualitative approach, combining comprehensive literature review with multiple theoretical frameworks (neorealism, constructivism, securitization theory, alliance theory). It incorporates historical and comparative analyses to contextualize Japan's security posture within regional dynamics.

Results

Japan's security policy has transformed significantly, driven by China's military modernization, North Korea's nuclear program, changing regional dynamics, and evolving U.S.-Japan alliance expectations. Key reforms include constitutional reinterpretation allowing limited collective self-defense, establishing the National Security Council, increased defense spending, and enhanced multi-domain military capabilities. Challenges persist in balancing security needs with constitutional constraints and managing regional relationships.

Conclusions

Japan's security restoration marks a profound shift, balancing proactive defense with pacifist principles. This evolution impacts regional stability and the U.S.-Japan alliance, positioning Japan as a key player in maintaining peace while raising some neighbors' concerns. Japan's path forward requires a delicate equilibrium between enhancing military capabilities and prioritizing diplomacy and economic cooperation. Success depends on navigating historical legacies, fostering domestic consensus, and adeptly maneuvering through complex international imperatives in an increasingly challenging security environment.
