Authors: Rudi Trianto
Published: August 2023

Dakwah harus dikemas dengan berbagai sarana, tidak haya dengan cara bertatap muka. Agar dakwah tidak terbatas ruang dan waktu saja. Berdakwah dapat dilakukan melaui media cetak atau yang sering disebut dengan dakwah Bil qolam yaitu saran dan metode menyampaiakan pesan-pesan dakwah kepada mad’u melalui media cetak salah satunya adalah buku.

Adapun rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini yaitu Apa Isi pesan aqidah Dalam Buku Jika Kita Tak Pernah Jatuh Cinta ?, dan  Apa Isi Pesan  Akhlak Dalam Buku Jika Kita Tak Pernah Jatuh Cinta ?. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui isi pesan dakwah dan isi pesan aqidah dalam buku jika jika kita tak pernh jatuh cinta.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode analisis isi (content analysis) yang bersifat kualitatif. Dengan menggunakan teknik dakwah didalam penelitian ini, penulis mengkategorikan isi pesan dakwah untuk mengetahui isi pesan dakwah dalam buku Jika Kita Tak Pernah Jatuh Cinta Karya Alvi Syahrin. Berdasarkan hasil data yang diperoleh, Terdapat isi pesan Aqidah yang meliputi Tawakkal, Taqwa, Istiqamah dan Tauhid. Isi pesan Akhlaq diantaranya adalah Sabar, Ikhlas, Syukur Nikmat, Akhlak Baik dan Akhlak Tercela.

Adapun pesan yang paling menonjol dalam buku ini adalah pesan aqidah, yang terdapat dalam pesan taqwa. Hal tersebut dikarenakan banyak anak muda saat ini mereka jauh dari nilai-nilai agama mereka sendiri.  Berdakwah tidak hanya dilakukan dengan cara bertatap muka antara da’i dan mad’u, tetapi berdakwah juga dapat memanfaatkan media yang ada sebagai penunjang dari dakwah itu sendiri salaah satunya adalah dengan menggunakan buku, karena buku merupakan media dakwah yang cukup efektif.

Published: August 2023

Kita sekarang hidup di tengah tengah kemajuan dan kecanggihan teknologi yang begitu luar biasa. Satu aspek yang sangat terasa percepatan perkembangannya yaitu dibidang teknologi informasi dan komunikasi khususnya diaspek media. Bahkan kadang kita tidak bisa memprediksikan dan seakan gagap akan dahsyatnya kecanggihan teknologi yang ada. Kemajuan teknologi tersebut telah mengantarkan dan merubah “wajah” baru dunia media. Apalagi dengan kehadiran media baru yang berupa internet dan serba serbi di dalamnya seperti youtube, facebook, instagram, twiter, line dan lain sebaginya. Hal itu memunculkan sebuah tatanan dunia baru yang bernama cyber society atau masyarakat maya. Dimana interaksi dan hubungan antar manusia modern tidak hanya berada di dunia nyata saja tetapi keberadaan ruang maya menjadi sebuah keniscayaan.

      Eksistesi cyber sosiety tentunya merupakan bagian tak terpisahkan dari peran media baru yang menjadi ruang hidupnya. Dimana tentunya kehadiran entitas baru ini punya perbedaan dengan kelompok kelompok masyarakat sebelumnya. Bahkan perbedaan tersebut sangatlah jelas dan terasa. Karena dizaman ini, dunia nyata hampir hampir sudah tergantikan dengan dunia maya atau cyber spacy. Kehidupan Cyber society sudah tidak lagi terhalang oleh jarak dan waktu. Dari sinilah babak baru kehidupan dimulai, dimana semua info dan berita bahkan kebutuhan hidup bisa diakses dengan mudah oleh semua orang tanpa ada sekat dan pengahalang.

       Dalam tulisan ini penulis memaparkan tentang peran media baru dalam membentuk cyber sosiety atau masyarakat maya. Dimana kehadiran media baru telah merubah tatanan kehidupan seluruh masyarakat dunia.Yaitu sebuah wajah baru yang dengan kecanggihannya mampu menerobos dan  merobohkan tembok tatanan kehidupan sebelumnya. Semua manusia diajak untuk hidup dalam ruang maya yang penuh dengan kemudahan dan kecanggihan.

Dari pembahasan yang disajikan, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa hadirnya media baru sangat berperan penting dalam lahirnya cyber society. Karena tanpa media baru dengan serba serbi didalamnya khsuusnya media sosial akan sangat mustahil kiranya cyber soaiety bisa terbentuk. Kehadiran cyber society menjadi sebuah wajah baru bagi tatanan kehidupan umat manusia. Tentunya tanpa menghilangkan tatanan kehidupan masyarakat sebelumnya. Dari sinilah babak baru sebuah tatanan kehidupan masyarakt dimulai.

Records Reformed and Reused. Nostalgic and Ecological Concerns in Contemporary Media Art
Authors: Kelly Caleb
Published: August 2023

In the twentieth century, records and record players were employed as the media and medium of art and music. These generative practices sought to extend the possibilities for sound production, at times ending in the destruction of both vinyl and turntable—what I call cracked media. This paper will revisit cracked media in the twenty-first century, inquiring into how this (re)interest in vinyl has translated into art and music. I will look to contemporary musicians and artists to contrast practices that encapsulate nostalgia with those that seek to communicate ecological and environmental concerns.
Rutherford Chang. The Record Collector as Artist-Curator
Authors: Drobnick Jim
Published: August 2023

Record collectors judge their acquisitions by condition and rarity. Artist Rutherford Chang undermines such norms by seeking as many copies as possible, in whatever state, of one of the best-selling albums of all time: The Beatles (1968), or “the White Album.” After 50+ years, many of the 3 million numbered albums have become worn due to handling but also because of writing and drawing. Since 2013, the artist has accumulated over 3,200 copies—most that are chafed, scribbled upon, stained, or moldy. This article examines Chang’s project and its interrogation of fan appreciation and practices of consumption; the affects of aging and patina; the notion of collaborative creativity; and the role of the artist-curator. In amassing such a diverse array, We Buy White Albums highlights the variability of a mass-produced commodity while demonstrating the effectiveness of an artist-curatorial methodology to raise issues about the life and care of record albums.
Le film d’archives ou l’archive du film. Retour sur Le Huitième Jour et Le Son d’un espace de Charles Gagnon
Authors: Fraser Marie
Published: August 2023

Ce texte analyse deux films de Charles Gagnon réalisés à la fin des années 1960 : Le Huitième Jour, conçu pour le Pavillon chrétien d’Expo 67 à Montréal, et Le Son d’un espace, présenté pour la première fois dans le cadre de la Sixième Biennale de Paris, en 1969. L’étude s’appuie en grande partie sur des sources qui permettent de mieux comprendre les conditions de production et de présentation des films au moment de leur réalisation grâce notamment au Fonds d’archives Charles Gagnon récemment mis à disposition des chercheur·euse·s à Bibliothèque et Archives du Musée des beaux-arts du Canada. L’article se penche plus spécifiquement sur le double rôle de l’archive : d’une part, comme constitutive de la forme et du contenu du cinéma de réemploi (found footage) dans lequel Le Huitième Jour s’inscrit et, d’autre part, comme une façon d’exposer la matérialité filmique dans Le Son d’un espace. La réflexion est traversée par l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’archive rendrait visibles les traces matérielles du film tant au moment de la conception, du montage et de l’enregistrement qu’au moment du visionnement. Examiner ces films en parallèle permet aussi de mettre en évidence que, pour Charles Gagnon, la spécificité du cinéma est déterminée par ses supports à la fois visuel et sonore.
Representation of the cognitive metaphor of time in Postmodern Chinese and Russian literary texts (comparative aspect)
Authors: Semenova Liubov
Published: August 2023

The author considers in a comparative aspect, based on the material of postmodern Chinese and Russian literary texts, the representation of the conceptual metaphor of time. The subject of the study is the conceptual metaphor of time, which represents the area of the purpose of the metaphor in the analyzed texts. In addition, a number of areas of the source of metaphor are considered in both Chinese and Russian literary texts of the postmodern era ("Money", "Space", "Object", "River", "Living being", "Container"). The works of Mo Yan and V. O. Pelevin are used for the analysis. The following methods were used in the course of the study: the method of semantic analysis, the comparative method, the method of conceptual analysis. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the fact that for the first time, the similarities and differences of the representation of the conceptual metaphor of time are clarified in it using the material of postmodern fiction in Chinese and Russian. Comparative analysis showed the presence of similarities in the representation of the metaphor under study in the source areas of "Money", "Space", "Object", "River". A distinctive feature of Chinese texts is the representation of metaphor in the "Container" areas, and Russian texts in the "Living Being" areas. The practical value of this work is seen in the fact that these materials can be used in classes on the interpretation of literary texts of the Chinese language in universities. The works of such a plan create a good prospect for the further development of one of the new areas of linguoculturology, namely comparative linguoculturology.
The Significance of B. B. Granovsky's Activity in the Study of Song Folklore from the Archive of V. F. Odoevsky (to the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of B. B. Granovsky)
Authors: Vereshchagina Katarina Sergeevna
Published: August 2023

The relevance of the research is due to the fact that the musical and folklore heritage of V. F. Odoevsky is of great value for modern musicology, since it contains many unique recordings of Russian folk songs and songs of 26 other ethnic groups. V. F. Odoevsky is the first folklorist who recorded song folklore in a scientific way. His recordings are the first reliable examples of folklore in the history of Russian musicology. At the same time, the archives of V. F. Odoevsky are practically not studied. The article examines the publications of B. B. Granovsky, since this scientist has been deciphering materials from the archive of V. F. Odoevsky for many years and introducing them into scientific circulation. The article considers that these publications reveal the style of the scientific method of V. F. Odoevsky, which is of great value in the study of the history and development of Russian ethnomusicology. Thanks to the works of B. B. Granovsky, rare songs of the peoples of Russia, which were recorded by V. F. Odoevsky, have been studied. In addition, the article shows that B. B. Granovsky not only deciphered many archival recordings of V. F. Odoevsky, but also published them in a musical collection of Russian folk songs.
Multi-tiered actions of Legionella effectors to modulate host Rab10 dynamics
Authors: Kubori Tomoko , Arasaki Kohei , Kitao Tomoe , Nagai Hiroki
Published: August 2023

Rab GTPases are representative targets of manipulation by intracellular bacterial pathogens for hijacking membrane trafficking.
Legionella pneumophila
recruits many Rab GTPases to its vacuole and exploits their activities. Here, we found that infection-associated regulation of Rab10 dynamics involves ubiquitin signaling cascades mediated by the SidE and SidC families of
Legionella
ubiquitin ligases. Phosphoribosyl-ubiquitination of Rab10 catalyzed by the SidE ligases is crucial for its recruitment to the bacterial vacuole. SdcB, the previously uncharacterized SidC family effector, resides on the vacuole and contributes to retention of Rab10 at the late stages of infection. We further identified MavC as a negative regulator of SdcB. By the transglutaminase activity, MavC crosslinks ubiquitin to SdcB and suppresses its function, resulting in elimination of Rab10 from the vacuole. These results demonstrate that the orchestrated actions of many
L. pneumophila
effectors fine-tune the dynamics of Rab10 during infection.

Protein UFMylation downstream of the E1 enzyme UBA5 plays essential roles in development and ER stress. Variants in the
UBA5
gene are associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 44 (DEE44), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early-onset encephalopathy, movement abnormalities, global developmental delay, intellectual disability, and seizures. DEE44 is caused by at least twelve different missense variants described as loss of function (LoF), but the relationships between genotypes and molecular or clinical phenotypes remains to be established. We developed a humanized
UBA5
fly model and biochemical activity assays in order to describe
in vivo
and
in vitro
genotype-phenotype relationships across the
UBA5
allelic series.
In vivo
, we observed a broad spectrum of phenotypes in viability, developmental timing, lifespan, locomotor activity, and bang sensitivity. A range of functional effects was also observed
in vitro
across comprehensive biochemical assays for protein stability, ATP binding, UFM1 activation, and UFM1 transthiolation. Importantly, there is a strong correlation between
in vivo
and
in vitro
phenotypes, establishing a classification of LoF variants into mild, intermediate, and severe allelic strengths. By systemically evaluating
UBA5
variants across
in vivo
and
in vitro
platforms, this study provides a foundation for more basic and translational UBA5 research, as well as a basis for evaluating current and future individuals afflicted with this rare disease.
Essential function of transmembrane transcription factor MYRF in promoting transcription of miRNA lin-4 during C. elegans development
Authors: Xu Zhimin , Wang Zhao , Wang Lifang , Qi Yingchuan B
Published: August 2023

Precise developmental timing control is essential for organism formation and function, but its mechanisms are unclear. In C. elegans, the microRNA lin-4 critically regulates developmental timing by post-transcriptionally downregulating the larval-stage-fate controller LIN-14. However, the mechanisms triggering the activation of lin-4 expression toward the end of the first larval stage remain unknown. We demonstrate that the transmembrane transcription factor MYRF-1 is necessary for lin-4 activation. MYRF-1 is initially localized on the cell membrane, and its increased cleavage and nuclear accumulation coincide with lin-4 expression timing. MYRF-1 regulates lin-4 expression cell-autonomously and hyperactive MYRF-1 can prematurely drive lin-4 expression in embryos and young first-stage larvae. The tandem lin-4 promoter DNA recruits MYRF-1GFP to form visible loci in the nucleus, suggesting that MYRF-1 directly binds to the lin-4 promoter. Our findings identify a crucial link in understanding developmental timing regulation and establish MYRF-1 as a key regulator of lin-4 expression.
Patrimonio emocional y educación patrimonial: potencialidades de la nostalgia en el caso de la Pérgola de las Flores Santa María de Recoleta, Santiago de Chile
Authors:   ,   Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Escuela de Arquitectura, Montecinos Díaz Javiera
Published: August 2023

Este proyecto enfoca el Patrimonio como una red de actores humanos y nohumanos donde las emociones juegan un rol fundamental. Aborda el modo en que estas emociones movilizan formas de valoración patrimonial que tienen proyecciones en la educación. Para ello, interroga las relaciones de la nostalgia con el lugar, con las materialidades y con las relaciones intergeneracionales. Toma como base empírica la Pérgola de las Flores Santa María; espacio donde actúan narrativas emocionales asociadas a una Pérgola del pasado, vivida y sentida, en tensión con una Pérgola del presente, reducida a “mercado de flores”. El enfoque metodológico está basado en la teoría del actor-red complementada por herramientas etnográficas, historia oral, investigaciónacción-participativa y revisión bibliográfica. La hipótesis que se propone es que en este caso el mediador más potente para el futuro de la comunidad de la Pérgola sería la “nostalgia crítica”; un tipo de nostalgia que he identificado como una emoción del patrimonio con alto potencial educativo. En concordancia con ello, se desarrollará un proyecto de didáctica emocional del patrimonio, que conectará a los usuarios de la Pérgola con los colegios de la comuna. Basándonos en los afectos se espera potenciar el reconocimiento intergeneracional de los valores patrimoniales de la Pérgola y del oficio de la floristería. Al mismo tiempo se espera estimular una comprensión afectivocrítica del patrimonio activado desde las bases, contribuyendo así a modernizaciones político-administrativas realizadas bajo los propios términos de la comunidad.

Published: August 2023

Teniendo en cuenta los problemas actuales relacionados con el medio ambientales que afectan a nuestro planeta, como el efecto invernadero, el calentamiento global y la acumulación de residuos plásticos, producidos por la emisión de gases como CO2 a la atmosfera y el uso indiscriminado de plásticos, es necesario estrategias para disminuir estos problemas, y una de estas es desarrollar sistemas catalíticos mediante la síntesis de nuevos compuestos, para así usar los contaminantes como CO2, CO, CH4, etc. para obtener nuevos compuestos con valor agregado. Por lo tanto, en este proyecto de tesis se sintetizaron germilenos y estanilenos con ligandos bisamidinas con un puente rígido de naftaleno. Estos sistemas fueron usados como catalizadores en reacciones de polimerización de esteres cíclicos, pero no presentaron la reactividad deseada. Sin embargo, para entender y saber las propiedades de estos nuevos compuestos y la reactividad que poseen es que de igual manera se probaron frente a reacciones del tipo oxidación, adición oxidativa, coordinación y transmetalación. Por otra parte, fue posible sintetizar nuevos complejos bis-aluminio con ligando bis-amidinas con un puente rígido de naftaleno, los cuales fueron testeado como catalizador para la obtención de carbonatos cíclicos a partir de epóxidos y CO2, que presentaron de moderada a excelente conversión. Asimismo, fue posible obtener un complejo de aluminio usando el mismo ligando bis-amidina, pero incorporando yoduros en su estructura para utilizarlo como un catalizador de un componente, pero desafortunadamente no presento actividad catalítica. Se sintetizo un ligando base de Schiff derivado de ferroceno, con su respectivo complejo de aluminio, el cual presentó baja actividad catalítica para la obtención de carbonatos cíclicos a partir de epóxidos y CO2. En cuanto a los ligandos bis-sulfonimidamida que contengan un puente en su estructura, a pesar de las múltiples pruebas, no fue posible obtenerlos.

Authors: Batista Lavynia Soares , Vieira Fernando de Oliveira , Viana Rodrigo Cardoso , Monforte Tamires Morcelli , De Oliveira Juliana Leonicio Sales , Costa Ludmila Wendy Sousa
Published: August 2023

De acordo com as estatísticas do Observatório de Saúde e Segurança do Trabalho, as atividades laborais executadas em ambiente hospitalar ocupam o 1° lugar no ranking de notificações de acidente do trabalho, além das doenças psicossomáticas que afetam grande parte dos colaboradores que prestam serviço nesta área. Embora não esteja entre os estados classificados em situação mais crítica, o Maranhão apresenta índices preocupantes com relação ao tema. Só em 2021, foram mais de 3.400 notificações de acidentes, sendo as atividades de atendimento hospitalar o setor econômico com mais casos. No intuito de identificar as políticas empregadas pelas empresas que administram os hospitais da rede pública estadual de saúde do Maranhão frente a essa realidade, realizou-se um levantamento acerca das práticas de responsabilidade social interna empregadas por essas organizações através da aplicação de um questionário baseado nos indicadores ETHOS. O mesmo dispôs de 43 perguntas relacionadas a saúde, segurança e qualidade de vida ocupacional, divididas entre questões discursivas e de múltipla escolha. Nestas últimas, adotou-se a  escala de Likerth. Com o auxílio do questionário e análise inicial das respostas, pôde-se concluir que a organização entrevistada promove políticas relacionadas à responsabilidade social corporativa interna, contudo, ainda há necessidade de implementar novas ações para a melhoria das condições de saúde e segurança do trabalhador no ambiente hospitalar.
Clinicopathological Study of Ovarian Germ Cell Tumours in Tertiary Care Hospital, Tamil Nadu, India: A cross-sectional Study
Authors: Lokeshwari V , Oshin PI , Gomathi M , Eswari V
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Ovarian germ cell tumours are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms derived from primitive germ cells of the embryonic gonad, either directly or indirectly. They can be classified as benign and malignant, with slow and rapid growth and spread, respectively. Benign ovarian germ cell tumours are common, while malignant tumours are rare and account for about 2.6% of all ovarian malignancies. They are more common in the second and third decades of life and typically present with abdominal mass, pain, and elevated serum tumour markers, which aid in primary diagnosis and follow-up. Aim: To analyse the distribution of germ cell tumours in the ovary in relation to age, parity, mode of presentation, biochemical markers, histomorphological patterns, and immunohistochemical markers. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Pathology, Sree Balaji Medical College, Hospital and Research Institute, Chromepet, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The study involved 86 ovarian specimens, of which 25 were germ cell tumours. Complete clinical history, radiological findings, and pre-operative laboratory test values were recorded. The ovarian specimens were carefully examined for gross appearances, fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for 24-48 hours, and subjected to histopathological processing, routine and special staining, and immunohistochemical study after observing the different morphological patterns of the ovarian specimens received. Results: The age range of presentation was between 14 years and 58 years. Seventeen patients were parous (14 benign and 3 malignant), and eight (5 benign and 3 malignant) were nulliparous. Abdominal mass and abdominal pain were the most common modes of presentation. Out of 25 germ cell tumours, 19 were benign cystic mature teratomas, 2 were immature teratomas, 1 was a yolk sac tumour, 2 were dysgerminomas, and 1 was a carcinoid tumour, with 6 being malignant and 19 being benign tumours. Among the 6 malignant ovarian tumours, 5 cases had raised serum tumour markers {cancer antigen-125 (CA-125), Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP)} pre-operatively, and the levels reduced and became normal after surgery. Among the 2 cases of immature teratoma, one was Grade-II and the other was Grade-III. For one case with mixed tumour components, CD-30 and α-fetoprotein immunohistochemical markers were performed, showing negative and positive results, respectively. Conclusion: Among the histopathological subtypes, benign cystic teratomas were the most common ovarian germ cell tumours in this study. Both benign and malignant tumours presented with abdominal pain and abdominal mass. Most of the tumours were diagnosed between the ages of 21 and 40 years. In this study, α-fetoprotein immunohistochemical marker s
Treatment of the Cubital Tunnel Syndrome of the Ulnar Nerve in the Elbow Area: A Review Article
Authors: Malisorn Saran
Published: August 2023

The common neuropathy Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (CuTS) causes sensory impairment. Numerous patients also exhibit muscle atrophy as a symptom of severe and persistent nerve damage, which typically portends a poor prognosis. In the majority of individuals with minor nerve dysfunction, nonsurgical treatment aimed at reducing both compression and traction on the ulnar nerve at the elbow is successful. The optimum care for a patient with this pathology requires prompt and accurate evaluation, diagnosis, and testing, as well as evidence-based therapy choices. The goal of this review article was to offer an updated summary of the most recent research on the results of several surgical procedures for CuTS. A clinician must use the available information to develop a diagnosis and treatment plan that are unique to the patient. The most effective surgical methods for CuTS need to be discovered through more in-depth scientific investigation.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) affects 30-40% of the population worldwide by the age of 65 years and is associated with proprioception loss, postural instability, and fall risk. Strengthening and balance exercises at home can prevent these issues. The Otago home exercise program is commonly used for fall prevention in the elderly. Aim: To compare the effects of home-based and clinic-based exercise training on balance and function in geriatric individuals with knee OA. Materials and Methods: A non randomised controlled trial (NRCT) was conducted from October 2017 to December 2017 at an old age home and residential zone of Ahmedabad city. Nineteen participants were divided into two groups: group A (home-based exercise) with nine participants, and group B (clinicbased exercise) with ten participants. The exercises were based on the Otago program. The study duration was eight weeks, and outcome measures included the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for static and dynamic balance, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) for physical function, the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test for dynamic balance, and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for knee pain. Data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 22.0, employing the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests for within group and between group comparisons, respectively. Results: Group A (home-based exercise) showed significant improvements in BBS (p-value=0.007), WOMAC (p-value=0.007), and TUG (p-value=0.027). Group B (clinic-based exercise) also showed significant improvements in BBS (p=0.005), WOMAC (p=0.005), and TUG (p=0.041). When comparing the two groups, significant differences were found in BBS (p=0.013) and WOMAC (p=0.039), but not in TUG (p=0.864) and VAS (p=0.908). The clinic-based exercise group demonstrated greater improvement, as indicated by higher pre and postintervention readings. Conclusion: This study concludes that both home-based and clinic-based exercises are effective in improving balance and physical function in geriatric individuals with knee OA. However, clinic-based exercise interventions showed greater improvement, as evidenced by higher pre and postintervention readings in the clinic-based exercise group.
Effect of Chair Suryanamaskar with Strength Training on Functional Fitness in Frail Older Adults: A Research Protocol for a Randomised Controlled Trial
Authors: Nikhade Nitin Suhas , Phalke Vaishali Deepak
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Physical frailty is a syndrome characterised by deterioration in multiple physiological domains, including muscle mass and strength, flexibility, balance, neuromuscular coordination, and cardiovascular function. Evidence suggests that regular exercise provides substantial health benefits, reducing the risk of many chronic diseases and medical costs, especially for frail older adults. However, the effect of exercise on functional status in this population is not well explored. Need of the study: Population aging in India is rapidly accelerating, and frailty is a significant clinical condition associated with aging. Frailty increases the risk of institutionalisation, morbidity, and mortality. Regular exercise has been shown to improve functional fitness in older adults, but exercises performed while standing unaided can be challenging for individuals with compromised balance and mobility. Chair Suryanamaskar, a form of exercise performed while seated, may be an alternative mode of exercise for this population. Although aerobic and resistance exercises have shown benefits, there is growing interest in exploring the potential benefits of a multicomponent intervention for frail older adults. Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of chair Suryanamaskar with strength training on functional fitness in community-dwelling frail older adults. Materials and Methods: The study will be conducted from March 2021 to March 2024. This two-group parallel singleblind randomised controlled trial will take place at MAEER's Physiotherapy College in TalegaonDabhade, Maharashtra, India. Approximately 400 older adults will be screened for frailty using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) test. Participants with an SPPB score ≤7 will be considered frail and a total of 108 participants aged 65-84 years will be recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The participants will be equally divided into two groups (54 participants in each group) using computer-generated random tables. The experimental group (group A) will receive a 45-minute Chair Suryanamaskar with strength training protocol three times a week for 12 weeks. Before the study begins, participants will have two practice sessions of 20 minutes each to become familiar with Chair Suryanamaskar. The control group (group B) will participate in two 20-minute health education program sessions and receive weekly telephonic follow-ups to monitor for adverse events. Additionally, a health education program booklet will be provided. The primary outcome of the study is the Senior Fitness Test (SFT). Assessments will be conducted at baseline (0 weeks) and post-intervention (12 weeks). Intentionto-treat analyses with mixed linear modeling will be used for statistical analysis.
Rationality Proof of Newton's Method for Finding Quadratic Trinomial Factors of Univariate Integer Coefficient Polynomials
Authors: Yang Xintong
Published: August 2023

The method of finding quadratic trinomial factors for univariate integer coefficient polynomials, proposed by the famous mathematician Isaac Newton in his mathematical monograph Arithmetica Universalis, is novel and concise, and has attracted the attention of mathematicians such as Leibniz and Bernoulli. However, no proof of this method has been given so far. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of this method and proves it with mathematical reasoning.Therefore, Newton's method of finding quadratic factors for univariate integer coefficient polynomials is reasonable, validate, and universal.

The present field experiment was carried out during 2021-2022 at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications and nine treatments. The investigation was carried out with a view to study the effect of different mulching material on growth, yield and quality of watermelon. The results of the experiment revealed that plant growth was superior with silver plastic mulch with respect to days of germination, numbers of branches per vine and vine length. Plants without mulch (control) resulted poor growth. Watermelon plants mulched with silver plastic recorded maximum number of leaves; whereas, minimum was in control. The yield characters such as fruit length, fruit diameter, number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight and number of fruits per plot were recorded significantly highest in the mulch treatment with silver plastic mulch. Similarly, the highest fruit yield per plot (27.52kg) and fruit yield per hectare of watermelon (66.04 t/ha) was also observed with the same treatment. From the economic point of view, silver plastic mulch resulted in the highest net return and also highest cost ratio. The quality characters such as highest fruit pulp weight and lowest acidity were noted in mulching treatment silver plastic mulch. This treatment also recorded maximum vitamin C, TSS. It is concluded that application different mulches in which silver plastic mulch significantly superior in growth, yield and quality parameter. Similarly, with economic point of view, treatment silver plastic mulch resulted in the highest net return and cost: benefit ratio.
