Analysis of functional prorpioception in lower limb among younger and older adults
Authors: Shankar Ravi , Radhika CM , Parthiban P
Published: October 2023

Background. Proprioception is the internal sense that assists an individual in learning a motor task and executing it seamlessly. Generally, a proprioception deficit is tested by measuring degrees of error in repositioning a joint or limb in space. Most of the measures use single-joint movement and, on a few occasions, multi-joint movements are tested with high-tech instrumentation in a laboratory setting. Multi-joint testing can reflect the impact of a proprioception deficit in functional activity. We used a novel method to test proprioception as a functional activity.
Aim. The study aims to analyse the functional proprioception in the lower limbs of younger and older adults.
Methodology. Thirty-seven younger and thirty-seven older adults were tested for proprioception in lower limbs with a target-reaching task. The participant was given a target point to touch with the great toe with eyes open. Following the trial, they were asked to touch the target with their eyes closed. The error in distance was measured in centimetres for three attempts. The minimal error was taken for analysis.
Result. The result shows that a mean error of around 2.6 cm and 5.7 to 6 cm is present in young and older adults respectively. There was no difference with respect to the side noted in the young adults, but the left side of adults shows a marginally higher error compared to the right side.
Conclusion. Functional proprioception differs among young and older adults. Multi-joint proprioception can provide different insights into an individual’s ability to use proprioception effectively.

Authors: Elayaraja Masilamani , Govindasamy Karuppasamy
Published: October 2023

Various aerobic training approaches have garnered considerable interest in improving bone health in young individuals. This study examines the effects of high-impact and low-impact multi-aerobic training on bone density in healthy young students in an effort to enhance bone health. In this study, the primary objective is to assess the effects of diverse multi-aerobic training regimens on bone density among 20-25 year olds. This study also examines the benefits of integrating high-impact and low-impact exercises for improving bone health. We selected 120 participants (60 men and 60 women) for a 27-week randomized three-by-two experimental design. Three groups of participants were assigned to each exercise group: the high-impact group (HIEG), the low-impact group (LIEG), and the control group (CG). A bone density (BD) measurement was performed before and after the training program using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The results of an ANCOVA with baseline scores as covariates indicated a significant improvement (P < 0.05) in bone density among participants following the intervention. As compared to CG, both HIEG and LIEG improved bone density significantly (P < 0.05), suggesting multi-aerobic training promotes bone health effectively. It highlights the potential of both HIEG and LIEG in enhancing bone density in young individuals through a 27-week diversified multi-aerobic training program. In order to cultivate and enhance bone density among young individuals, regular multi-aerobic exercise is critical to their lifestyles. This can be used to formulate exercise interventions aimed at boosting bone health in both sexes.

Tugas Akhir (TA) merupakan karya tulis ilmiah yang disusun berdasarkan suatu permasalahan. TA harus diselesaikan oleh seluruh mahasiswa yang ingin menyelesaikan studinya. Selama ini, mahasiswa sering mengalami kesulitan dalam menentukan topik TA yang ingin diteliti. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini mencoba melakukan penentuan topik TA menggunakan teknik Machine Learning (ML) berdasarkan matakuliah-matakuliah pilihan yang pernah diambil oleh seorang mahasiswa. Matakuliah pilihan merupakan salah satu data akademik yang bisa digunakan untuk mempertimbangkan topik TA. Algoritma-algoritma ML yang digunakan adalah KNN, NBC, ANN, SVM, C4.5, Random Forest, dan Logistic Regression. Dataset yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah data imbalance. Untuk hal tersebut, penelitian ini melakukan balancing data menggunakan metode Random Oversampling dan metode Random Undersampling. Hasil percobaan-percobaan menunjukkan bahwa dataset yang di-balancing menggunakan ROS menghasilkan performa ML yang jauh lebih tinggi, akan tetapi memiliki kecenderungan over-fitting dikarenakan terjadi duplikasi data pada dataset. Jika dataset tidak di-balancing sama sekali maka performa ML akan sangat rendah. Oleh sebab itu, untuk data yang imbalance disarankan untuk menggunaka metode RUS sebagai balancing data. Hasil akurasi tertinggi untuk Algoritma yang dibalancing menggunakan ROS yakni ANN=69.7%, RF=66.7%, SVM=57.6%, LR=57.6%, NBC=42.4%, C4.5=42.4%, dan KNN=33.3%

Penegakan hukum lingkungan adalah aspek penting dalam menjaga keberlanjutan lingkungan hidup, yang terkait dengan aspek administratif, pidana, dan perdata. Di Indonesia, Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2009 tentang Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup (UU PPLH) menjadi landasan hukum untuk penegakan hukum lingkungan, terutama dalam konteks pidana. Jenis metode penelitian dalam penulisan ini ialah kualitatif dengan jenis dokumen. Penelitian kualitatif merupakan jenis penelitian yang hasilnya bukan didasarkan pada angka statistic atau perhitungan lainnya. Penegakan hukum lingkungan administratif mencakup pengawasan dan sanksi, namun masih menghadapi tantangan dalam implementasi. Penegakan hukum pidana berfokus pada investigasi dan penuntutan tindakan pencemaran lingkungan, tetapi memerlukan bukti yang kuat. Sementara itu, penegakan hukum perdata melibatkan penyelesaian sengketa lingkungan melalui jalur hukum perdata, dengan prinsip tanggung jawab mutlak. Kendati demikian, penegakan hukum lingkungan di Indonesia masih menghadapi hambatan, termasuk kompleksitas dalam penuntutan dan pelaksanaan putusan pengadilan. Perbaikan lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk meningkatkan efektivitas penegakan hukum lingkungan guna menjaga keberlanjutan lingkungan hidup.

The issue of managerial decision-making in relation to customers plays a significant role in any enterprise. Managerial decisions are often based on input information that is difficult to quantify. Therefore, common statistical methods cannot be easily used. A trend is the least informative quantifier. The goal of the paper is to present a new formal tool of the managerial decision-making process based on the trend model. This tool is demonstrated using the following variables: word of mouth, electronic word of mouth, brand trust, consumer experience and consumer price perception. These variables were chosen from scientific papers that confirmed a relationship among them. A trend analysis of the model involves assessing the relevant group of particular situations. The model’s predictions can be described as a sequence of these scenarios. The findings show that the trend model is a powerful and suitable tool in the managerial decision-making process.

Introduction: Aging is a ubiquitous human trait that predisposes older persons to chronic diseases. Compared with systemic non-communicable diseases, a significant gap exists in literature on the burden of non-communicable dermatoses (NCDs) amongst older adults, particularly in low and middle-income countries.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to document the epidemiology and clinical pattern of non-communicable skin diseases among older adults in Nigeria.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of medical records of ambulant adults aged ≥60 years referred for dermatological care at a teaching hospital in Southwestern Nigeria between February 2017 and February 2022. The frequency and pattern of NCDS were recorded for descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS 20 statistics software.  The level of statistical significance was set at 0.05.
Result : A total of 553 medical records were reviewed with a female: male ratio of 1.3:1 The mean age of the study population was 68.85 ±7.87. Six out of every 10 patients (60.6%) had at least one chronic NCD. The incidence of chronic NCDs declined with increasing age. Chronic eczemas (22.4%), pigmentary dermatoses (9.4%), and skin tumors (8.7%) were the most frequent chronic non-communicable dermatoses recorded. Older males had a significantly higher incidence of chronic eczemas while chronic urticarias and skin tumors demonstrated significant female preponderance.
Conclusion: There is a high burden of Chronic NCDs with significant gender disparities among older adults with skin problems in Nigeria. Pre-emptive planning and resource allocation towards specialist geriatric-dermatology services are needed to address the skin-health needs of the growing geriatric population.

Introduction: Acne vulgaris (AV) is the most common skin disease. AV is a skin disease often associated with oxidative stress. Thiols and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) analysis are used as oxidative stress markers.

Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the blood levels of thiols and IMA, which are accepted as oxidative stress markers, and to determine the severity of the disease in AV patients whose severity is determined by the global acne score rate (GAS).

Methods: Thiol parameters and IMA values ​​were measured spectrophotometrically in blood samples taken from patients and controls. Determine VAS values ​​in AV patients. The thiol and IMA values ​​obtained were compared between the patient and control groups and their correlation with the patient's VAS values ​​was evaluated.

Results: In our study, in acne patients, native thiol (NT), total thiol (TT) and index 3 (I3=NT/TT*100) were significantly lower than the control group, disulfide (SS), index 1 (I1=SS/NT*100), index 2 (I2=SS/TT*100) and IMA values were found to be significantly higher. GAS values, which are accepted as an indicator of the degree and severity of acne disease, and SS, I1 and I2 showed a positive correlation, while I3 showed a negative correlation.

Conclusion: Our study suggests that oxidative stress associated with AV disease pathogenesis may occur through mechanisms dependent on thiol and IMA levels. Therefore, in AV, oral supplementation or topical application of antioxidants may be a good way to increase drug efficacy or prevent potential harm.
KAJIAN DOGMATIKA TENTANG IDENTITAS KRISTUS BAGI KAWULA MUDA KRISTEN
Authors: Lawolo Mey Daman
Published: October 2023

Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa Yesus Kristus merupakan Allah dan manusia yang patut dipuji! Alkitab dan sejarah Kekristenan meneguhkan bahwa doktrin dwi natur Kristus merupakan pengajaran yang sangat krusial di dalam kekristenan yang tidak dapat diganggu gugat. Sebagai Pribadi yang memiliki natur ilahi dan manusia, Yesus Kristus melebihi semua anggapan manusia tentang Dia sebagai Nabi, Orang Bijaksana, Hikmat Sejati dan Guru Agung. Dia adalah Allah 100%! Dia adalah manusia 100%! Namun, dalam kemajuan zaman saat ini, gereja terlena sehingga mengabaikan pengajaran tentang Kristus (kristologi) bagi jemaat, khususnya kawula muda, yang menjadi generasi yang melanjutkan keberadaan gereja di masa yang akan datang baik secara organisasi maupun secara pengajaran yang Alkitabiah. Kawula muda memahami bahwa Yesus Kristus hanyalah sebatas pribadi yang sedia menolong, memerhatikan setiap orang yang berkeluh kesah. Bahkan, menurut sebagian lainnya, Yesus identic dengan Bapa dan Roh Kudus. Dan tak kalah menggelikan lagi pemahaman kawula muda yang mengganggap Yesus sebagai keluarga. Penelusuran yang saksama terhadap pemahaman tersebut didasarkan pada kurangnya perhatian gereja dalam mengajarkan pokok-pokok iman yang bersifat doctrinal bagi kawula muda. Maka, dalam tulisan ini disajikan bukti-bukti Alkitab tentang identitas Kristus yang dapat digunakan oleh gereja untuk mengajar dan mengarahkan kawula muda mengenal Dia, Juruselamat umat percaya.

Kata Kunci: Dwi Natur, Kawula Muda, Keilahian, Kemanusiaan, Kristus.

The burden of Tinea infections, common dermatologic fungal diseases remains high globally, especially in Africa. This is sustained mainly by the emergence of resistance to current antifungal drugs in use. Alternative treatment and preventive measures need to be sought to eradicate these infections. Antifungal activity and synergism of garlic in combination with ginger and lemon peel essential oils against Tinea capitis is assessed using inhibition assays. Ginger, lemons, and garlic samples were randomly collected from the Nakuru town market in Nakuru County, Kenya. They were identified by a botanist and then extracted and, analyzed. Antifungal activity against Tinea capitis and synergism among extracts were assessed by the disk diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), respectively. The average essential oil yield for ginger, lemon, and garlic was 22%, 20%, and 16%, respectively. Ginger, lemon, and garlic essential oils depicted a comparable antifungal activity against Tinea capitis isolates (P value > 0.05). The combined essential oils formulation of ginger, lemon, and garlic showed the highest activity compared to single extracts (P > 0.05). The MIC for the combined essential oils was 6.25 mg/ml. A combination of the three extracts acts in synergy against the Tinea isolates. The rate of inhibition was directly proportional to the concentration of the extracts. Ginger, lemon, and garlic are sources of molecules that act in synergy in controlling Tinea spp infections. They can be leveraged to support the Ministry of Health in achieving its universal healthcare goal.
