Criminal responsibility for war crimes in the context of armed aggression against Ukraine
Authors: NAZARENKO Pavlo , BAIEVA Liliia , SEMENIUK-PRYBATEN Anna
Published: August 2023

Introduction. Armed conflicts are one of the important problems of our time. They lead to social tension because the rights of not only military personnel, but also the civilian population are violated. At the international level, more and more attention is paid to such issues as war crimes during armed aggression. For Ukraine, the issue of criminal responsibility at the state and international level is relevant.
The purpose of the paper is to analyze issues related to criminal responsibility for committing crimes during armed aggression in Ukraine.
Results. War crimes during the armed aggression of Russia against Ukraine have been ongoing since 2014. However, with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, they acquired a systematic character. In international humanitarian law, a gross intentional violation of the laws and customs of war is considered a war crime. War crimes are one of the main crimes of international law. The four Geneva Conventions of August 12, 1949 and Additional Protocol I to them of June 8, 1977 oblige states to criminalize serious violations of international humanitarian law in their national legislation. Ukraine fulfills this requirement primarily by adding Article 438 "Violation of laws and customs of war" to the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The definition of criminal responsibility for committing war crimes is also contained in such an international act as the Rome Statute. The widest list of war crimes is enshrined in the Statute of the International Criminal Court, the so-called Rome Statute. The more discovered facts of war crimes in Ukraine appear in the public space, the more the term "genocide" sounds from various international bodies and public figures. The Verkhovna Rada also demanded that war crimes of the Russian Federation should be recognized as genocide against the Ukrainian people.
Conclusions. For Ukraine, the problem of criminal responsibility for war crimes is and will be relevant. In the conditions of martial law, it is important that each such crime is discovered and investigated separately. After all, those who commit crimes against humanity should know that they cannot escape criminal responsibility. The specified features of war crimes will allow to distinguish them from other crimes in the future, and will allow to better specify and implement international criminal responsibility for their commission.

Authors: OBRUSNA Svitlana , DULHEROVA Olha , IVANOVA Iryna
Published: August 2023

Introduction. Current state-building and law-making processes as well as Ukraine’s European integration course substantiate the need for further research into the issues of the institutional capacity of the judicial system of Ukraine, in particular, the determination of its essence, features, ways of formation, etc. The above issue has not been in the focus of theoretical and legal attention in legal science yet. In domestic scientific sources, the problems of the institutional capacity of the judicial system of Ukraine are considered somewhat fragmentarily, which does not contribute to the formation of unified scientific approaches and their practical solution.
The purpose of the paper is to determine the content and essence of the institutional capacity of the judicial system of Ukraine based on the analysis of current domestic legislation, international legal acts, and lawyers’ opinions.
Results. It is noted that in modern science there is a pluralism of approaches to determining the essence of institutional capacity. The issues related to institutional capacity are studied in terms of the state, certain state and non-state institutions, public associations, etc. Therefore, taking into account the wide range of aspects covered by the concept of institutional capacity, its content can be most fully revealed only in a certain practical context, which also concerns the issue of the institutional capacity of the judicial system.
It is determined that the institutional capacity of the judicial system of Ukraine is its ability to perform its functions effectively and transparently by ensuring the appropriate level of regulatory compliance, as well as structural, organizational, personnel and technical systems, processes and resources.
The elements of the institutional capacity of the judicial system of Ukraine include its structural construction, legislative and regulatory support, financial resources, personnel support, organizational autonomy of courts and independence of judges, cooperation between judicial bodies and external relations, management systems and practices, leadership and judicial administration, training and maintaining the qualifications of both judges and court staff, judicial self-government, implementation of the latest techniques and technologies, etc.
Conclusion. An institution with a sufficiently high level of institutional capacity will ensure the appropriate level of efficiency and effectiveness of its own activities. The institutional capacity of the judicial system of Ukraine includes a certain set of elements and features that ensure its effective operation and allow achieving the purpose of the existence of this institution.

Reasons and conditions for committing cybercrimes
Authors: KHARYTONENKO Ihor
Published: August 2023

The paper highlights the following main issues: determination of the main factors of criminalization of actions, features of cybercrimes, legal and social nature of crimes of this type are considered and divided. The provision has been developed that the majority of persons who commit crimes that have cyber features are persons for whom the method of committing a crime using electronic devices and devices and cyberspace is not decisive, but was chosen due to its real availability. It was established that the reason for committing cybercrimes is a complex of arbitrariness and illusions, which covers the stages from the formation of the complex under the influence of a number of circumstances to the direct commission of a cybercrime. Moreover, the conditions that contribute to the manifestation of a complex of willfulness and illusions can be almost any factors that affect the moment a person commits a cybercrime: receiving certain information, the corresponding emotional state, the appearance of the victim or relevant accomplices, etc. The classification of motives has also been established, taking into account both the legal and social nature of the motive for the crime. Within its limits, the motives for committing cybercrimes can be divided into:
1) antisocial, which include: self-interested motive (due to the desire to obtain material benefits); hooligan motive (caused by disrespect for society and social institutions as a whole); personal motive (due to the desire to harm a specific person);
2) asocial motives that are related to the satisfaction of a person's needs in a way prohibited by law, but which are not directly aimed at causing harm to specific persons);
3) pseudo-social – worldview-ideological motive (due to the desire to spread certain views or guidelines); socio-political motive (desire to influence the course of events in public life or state life) 6) research (due to interest in illegal or criminal direction);
4) protosocial, e.g., following an order, patriotic motives, etc.
It was concluded that the cause of cybercrimes is a complex of arbitrariness and illusions, which covers four stages: from the formation of the complex under the influence of a number of circumstances (the availability of using the technical capabilities of electronic devices, the availability of knowledge and skills in their use, the feeling of anonymity and impunity of using cyberspace) to the direct committing a cybercrime.

It has been established that the presented categorization of the subjects of protection of the rights and interests of city councils is aimed at ensuring the development of the theoretical base in the context of the specified issues.
Legal responsibility for animal cruelty: EU and Ukraine practice
Authors: KIRYK Alla , DANILOVA Anna
Published: August 2023

The paper examines the issue of legal responsibility for animal cruelty in Ukraine and EU member states. The main acts of domestic legislation, which specialize in the protection of animals from cruel treatment, have been identified. It has been established that the EU member states have implemented a significant number of legal acts that allow the protection of animals at the legislative level. In all European countries, abuse of animals is considered a crime and is punishable by a fine or even imprisonment. The legislation of Italy, Norway, Greece and France was analyzed. It has been established that in Italy the term of imprisonment ranges from 3 to 18 months, and the fine that the animal abuser will have to pay can reach 30,000 euros. Norway is also worthy of attention, where the penalty is imprisonment for up to 1 year, the imposition of a fine with confiscation of the animal. In Greece, animal cruelty is subject to administrative and criminal liability. Administrative responsibility can reach 30,000 thousand euros. Criminal liability consists of imprisonment for up to 10 years and fines from 30,000 to 50,000 euros. In France, criminal liability is provided in the form of imprisonment for up to 5 years and a fine of up to 75,000 thousand euros. Based on the analysis of the legislation of European countries, changes to the domestic legislation are proposed, namely, it is worth borrowing foreign experience and in case of cruel treatment of animals, in addition to the prescribed confiscation of the animal, establish a ban on their further keeping. In addition, a global problem in the area of prosecution is the low public awareness of legal responsibility for animal cruelty, so one of the important measures is the implementation of legal education measures regarding administrative and criminal norms that provide for responsibility and the degree of punishment for the specified offense.

Authors: ZALIZKO Oksana , DANYLCHENKO Vitalii
Published: August 2023

Introduction. Sport is an autonomous system that includes a huge array of various public sports organizations connected by complex relationships, the central place among which is occupied by sports federations.
The purpose of the paper is to determine the specifics of the legal status and areas of activity of sports federations in Ukraine. Results.
Results. The Law of Ukraine "On Physical Culture and Sports" provides for the delegation of powers for the development of the relevant sport, organization and holding of official international and all-Ukrainian sports competitions on the territory of Ukraine, etc. to public associations of physical culture and sports orientation. At the same time, it is difficult to talk about the complete autonomy of sports federations, since the sports federation, among other things, ensures cooperation with the structural units of local state administrations and local self-government bodies regarding the development of the respective sport; agrees with the Ministry, relevant local bodies of executive power and local self-government bodies on the issue of holding international sports competitions on the territory of Ukraine; implements and demands the same implementation from its members of the decisions of the Ministry, relevant contracts with local executive bodies in the field of physical culture and sports; submits a report on the use of budget funds in case of financial support from the state budget to a sports federation for the development of a sport, organization and holding of sports events; is obliged to submit a report to the Ministry on the state of implementation of the cooperation agreement, etc. every year. The peculiarity of the legal status of sports federations in various sports is that they can be created only as non-commercial organizations. At the same time, sports federations can independently or through legal entities created by them carry out entrepreneurial activities, if such activities are not their main activity and correspond to the purpose for which they were created and contribute to its achievement.
Conclusion. The legal status of sports federations is hybrid. On the one hand, they are accountable to the central body of executive power - the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, and on the other hand, they are autonomous and independently determine the directions of their activities, including: organization and holding of competitions; approval of internal documents and their implementation; implementation of the system of certification of clubs, coaches and other specialists in the field of sports; establishment of institutions, enterprises and organizations to achieve their statutory goals and objectives, participation in civil-law relations, acquisition of property and non-property rights; determination of the mechanism for resolving sports disputes.

Authors: LYSENKO Svitlana , ASHCHEULOVA Oleksandra , HOLOVNIA Yuliia
Published: August 2023

The paper is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the economic recovery of Ukraine in the context of business regulation during the state of martial law in the country; determination of the economic consequences of Russian aggression for Ukraine; analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of the new Marshall Plan, which is being developed specifically for the economic recovery of the state and the role of partner states in the further economic support of Ukraine. For the first time, the stages that must be applied by Ukraine and the partner states for the recovery process have been analyzed. It is noted that a sequential approach with a gradual increase in activity should be used for the recovery process, which should have four stages: aid, reconstruction, modernization and accession to the EU. The amount of investment needed to rebuild Ukraine is still unclear due to the continuation of the war. According to preliminary estimates, the cost of restoring the damaged Ukrainian infrastructure is more than 100 billion dollars. Aid should include emergency relief and basic rehabilitation as the war continues. Reconstruction will involve a rapid response to the destruction caused by war after a ceasefire or settlement, focusing on infrastructure and mobilizing market mechanisms. The conclusions indicate that in the long term, flexible macroeconomic management will remain important for managing the reconstruction and maintaining the competitiveness of the economy. The development of a more effective taxation system will contribute to the stability of public finances. In the short term, maintaining macroeconomic stability in the face of ongoing war and pressures related to the country’s defense will strengthen Ukraine’s defenses and provide a solid foundation for recovery.

Authors: ADAMOVYCH Oksana
Published: August 2023

Introduction. In recent years, in the national doctrine of civil law, as well as in the judicial practice of Ukraine, there has been an expansion of features of the invalid transactions, in particular, a relatively new concept of "fraudulent act" has appeared, as a transaction aimed to harm the creditor. The paper is devoted to study content of the concept of fraudulent acts and determination of their characteristic features, the consequences of invalidating such transactions. Attention is drawn to the fact that the lack of consolidation the concept of a fraudulent act in the regulatory acts of Ukraine leads to different approaches in the interpretation of the concept of fraudulent act, which is followed, first of all, in court decisions.
The purpose of the paper is to research perspectives for development and improvement of legal regulations in the area of invalidating transactions, as well as to develop proposals regarding the implementation of the concept of a fraudulent act to the rules of the civil legislation of Ukraine.
Results. Based on the analysis of numerous judical practices, the concept of a fraudulent act is formulated through the prism of the general principles of civil legislation and the limits of the exercise of civil rights. Also defined the main characteristic features of such transactions are defined. It is emphasized that fictitious and fraudulent transactions have common features, but they differ in their purpose and consequences. The pudlication argues that the main purpose of concluding a fraudulent act is to cause damage to the creditor and prevent enforcement of the debtor's property.
Conclusion. The paper grounds necessity to consolidate the definition of a fraudulent act in the Ukrainian legislation and to form a united concept in legal approaches to determining the grounds for recognizing fraudulent acts as invalid.
Reparations as a tool for holding the Russia responsible for war crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine
Authors: VATAMANIUK-ZELINSKA Uliana , PAVLYSHYNA Viktoriia
Published: August 2023

Introduction. The actions of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine grossly violate the principles and norms of international law. Taking into account the fact that during the year it was not possible to settle the military conflict diplomatically, that is, based on the observance of the principles and norms of international law and the UN Charter, there is a need to assess the possibilities of Ukraine receiving reparations and to study this instrument of international justice from the point of view of holding the Russian Federation accountable for the military crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine.
The purpose of the paper is to study the essence and features of reparations to Ukraine, as a tool to hold the Russian Federation accountable for the purpose of compensation for losses and damages for war crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine.
Results. It was established that the compensation determined according to the principle of restitution cannot be limited only to the legally defined maximum amount of compensation or to any calculation that does not follow from a strict assessment of damages as a result of the military aggression of the Russian Federation. In the case of loss of life or infliction of bodily harm, torture, sexual violence, the operation of such a principle is problematic due to the fact that these crimes do not have a specific monetary definition. The direct losses of Ukraine, as well as the amount of additional costs for economic recovery and reconstruction, are analyzed, taking into account the perspective of Ukraine's integration into the European Union. The need to develop and implement a legitimate international mechanism that would provide compensation for the damages caused by Russia and be effective despite its categorical refusal to cooperate was argued.
Conclusions. It is suggested that new agreements on reparations be regulated by international agreements. For Ukraine, this model of legal behavior is appropriate, because, thanks to the imposed sanctions, a significant number of assets of the Russian Federation are frozen, being under the control of foreign governments and, in the future, can be used to restore Ukraine as compensation for losses caused by military actions.The results of the study can be used in the process of forming a legal mechanism for compensation for losses, provided that war crimes on the territory of Ukraine are recognized as genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Activity of public administration as an object of judicial control
Authors: MYKHAILOV Oleksandr
Published: August 2023

The purpose of the paper is to determine the place and features of judicial control over the activities of public administration among other types of state control. It has been established that control over the activities of public authorities includes the activities of legislative and executive bodies, their territorial bodies, state collegial bodies, local state administrations, local self-government bodies, the court and the prosecutor's office with regard to monitoring compliance with legal requirements (precepts, norms) and preventing their violations in the future Judicial control in this context acts as a special type of control in the activities of public authorities, the peculiarity of which is that it is not carried out on a permanent basis or systematically, such as control by specialized control bodies, but only in the process of considering administrative cases. Depending on the type of judicial jurisdiction, such types of judicial control were distinguished as general judicial control, or control carried out by general courts during the consideration of criminal, civil and administrative cases; specialized judicial control, or control carried out by specialized (administrative and economic) courts; constitutional judicial control, or control carried out by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine as the only body of constitutional jurisdiction. It was determined that the grounds for conducting judicial control over the activities of the public administration should be of a purely legal nature, i.e. checking the legality, the state of compliance with the rights and freedoms of citizens, etc. It has been established that today the creation of advanced forms of judicial control is a necessity arising from the objective needs of a civilized and democratic society. This type of control contributes to increasing the level of legal protection of citizens and serves as a criterion for assessing the legality of actions of state bodies.

Authors: Benavides-Sellan Luis Ernesto , Pavón Brito Christian Antonio , Vera Ramírez Nathaly Geovanna , Tapia León Mariela Alexandra
Published: August 2023

Scientific production has the development of doctoral theses as one of the indicators of regional academic development. Within the educational field, academic production should consider innovations supported by ICTs in order to be in line with scientific progress. The first objective of the study was to identify trends in doctoral theses that have investigated ICT-mediated educational innovations in the Latin American context during the period 2016-2021. For this purpose, a study will be conducted in university repositories. The second objective was to learn about the perceptions of the teachers of a HEI in relation to educational innovation. At the time of the survey, these teachers were pursuing doctoral studies or had completed them. A mixed methodology was used, applying questionnaires to the participating teachers, in this case belonging to the Philosophy Faculty of the University of Guayaquil. In order to determine research trends, 88 doctoral theses from 16 Latin American universities were reviewed. A prevalence of research based on e-learning and a perception of lag between educational innovations and doctoral production topics in the region on the part of teachers were obtained. It is proposed that Latin American doctoral programs linked to education should emphasize the development of proposals for the dissemination of innovations, in order to be in line with global advances.
Cómo crear ediciones digitales académicas entre La Habana y Berlín. El caso de Proyecto Humboldt Digital (ProHD)
Authors: Rojas-Castro Antonio , Quintero Grisel Terrón , Ferrer Alaina Solernou , Kraft Tobias
Published: August 2023

Los estudios sobre el escritor y naturalista prusiano Alexander von Humboldt y las ediciones de su obra son abundantes. Entre los múltiples capítulos destacados de su famoso viaje por los trópicos americanos destacan las dos visitas a Cuba (1800–1801/1804) como un caso particular. Hasta el día son muy escasos los documentos originales que se conocen acerca de estas visitas, las fuentes coloniales que lo informaron y la historia de su recepción. Esto se debe, en gran parte, a que las fuentes documentales son de difícil acceso. Para salvar este obstáculo nació en 2019 el Proyecto Humboldt Digital (ProHD), una iniciativa de cooperación llevada a cabo entre La Habana y Berlín, que tiene por objetivo principal editar una colección de textos relacionados con la estancia de Humboldt en Cuba. En este artículo explicamos cómo se han creado las ediciones digitales académicas desde un punto de vista metodológico. Tras presentar los orígenes del proyecto, se expone el flujo de trabajo ideado entre la Oficina del Historiador de la Ciudad de La Habana y la Academia de Ciencias y Humanidades de Berlín-Brandeburgo a fin de digitalizar, describir, publicar, editar y preservar en formato digital una colección de textos previamente seleccionados. Asimismo, se describe el modelo de representación de datos en formato TEI y se justifica de manera crítica el uso de las herramientas empleadas para codificar y publicar las ediciones. Por último, se analizan los primeros resultados editoriales obtenidos y se reflexiona en las conclusiones sobre los principales desafíos afrontados.

Destination Competitiveness and Sustainability
Authors: Nag Aditi , Mishra Smriti
Published: August 2023

The creation and evaluation of a sustainable tourism destination must involve input from all tourism stakeholders. One main difficulty at the regional level is the absence of clearly defined instruments and approaches capable of incorporating all tourism stakeholders and attaining various policy goals. All sectors that are less market-oriented can benefit from sustainable tourism planning combined with destination competitiveness through perspective-value engagement of tourism stakeholders. Therefore, this study offers a model and indicators of destination competitiveness to contrast nations and industries involved in tourism. Employing the indicator division pattern by Dwyer and Kim (2003) for future development focusing on heritage tourism planning, it compiles a collection of destination competitiveness and sustainability metrics using inputs, gaps, and limitations from earlier existing toolkits. The study therefore concludes that combining the Travel and Tourism Development Index with the developed indicator list can aid in evaluating all heritage destinations proportionately.
Tourist Motivation and Reflection on Experiences at Cremation Sites of Varanasi
Authors: Ashraf Mohammed , Mishra Sweety , Chowdhary Nimit
Published: August 2023

Visiting sites associated with death or macabre is generally considered morally transgressive human behaviour. Nevertheless, such dark tourism sites have recently gained visitors' attention. Curiosity and attraction for death are not new; historically, visiting cremation sites are rooted in Roman Empire. Regardless of increasing attention, the motives and consumption of tourists visiting cremation sites are fragile in literature. This study primarily focuses on the tourists' fascination towards cremation grounds and their moral and emotional engagement during consternated consumption. As most individuals who visit macabre sites have a keen interest in death, the emotional engagements and experiences at the site are integral. The transformational, subjective, and phenomenological aspects of such tourism encounters are also acknowledged in recent literature. It is crucial to continue and broaden research on consumer motivation by focusing on how visitors' emotional connections are created and how they affect the consumers' engagement and experience at the dark site.

Authors: Zając Aleksandra
Published: August 2023

In the chapter, three hotels' representatives and touristic town of Krynica Zdrój representatives were interviewed to find out about the context of exceptional in numbers hosting of Ukrainian refugees by local hoteliers. The results were used to conclude tourists' attitudes towards the humanitarian choice by the hoteliers. Krynica Zdrój is a small touristic location in South-East Poland, not too far from Ukrainian borders, which is helping on a large scale to accommodate Ukrainians, but nevertheless is vulnerable to tourist attitudes; before the Covid pandemic Polish tourists tended to choose the location more and more often, generating income to hotels and town. The results show, among others, that the situation and also tourists' attitudes are determined by political bias, mixed feelings towards charity efforts and possible media inflammatory coverage. The study, tackling a current issue with global dimensions, contributes to the development of emergency situations culture in the hospitality sector and building of good practices that could be used by hoteliers during emergencies.

Context:

The advent of smartphone armed with various downloadable “apps” has created a new wealth of clinical resources available to various healthcare professionals. However, the level of usage of physiotherapy-related applications for health information among clinical physiotherapists in Nigeria needs to be investigated.

Aim:

The aim of the study is to investigate the use of smartphones and physiotherapy-related applications for health information among clinical physiotherapists.

Settings and Design:

This was an observational study conducted on clinical Physiotherapist of Ondo and Ekiti State, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

The study recruited 48 physiotherapists from government-owned hospitals in Ondo and Ekiti State. Data on demographic characteristics, work experience, knowledge, and the use of physiotherapy-related applications for health information were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were summarized using a descriptive statistics of percentage and frequency distribution.

Statistical Analysis used :

Descriptive statistics of percentages and frequency table was used.

Results:

Forty-eight physiotherapists participated in this study. All the (100%) participants own smartphones, however, only 50% (24) have heard about physiotherapy-related smartphone applications. Twenty-five percent (12) of respondents have physiotherapy-related smartphone applications on their smartphones, 43.8% (21) are not aware of the availability of physiotherapy-related smartphone applications, while 27.0% (13) never explore the possibilities. About 70.8% (34) recommended the development of various physiotherapy-related smartphone applications, while 79.2% (38) recommended that the usage of smartphone for health information during a consultation should be avoided to avoid loss of professional image before patients.

Conclusion:

Majority of physiotherapists are not aware of physiotherapy-related smartphones applications hence its usage for health care information is very low.

Context:

Learning style is an approach wherein learners save, recall, and process concepts efficiently and effectively. Determining students' learning styles provides information about specific preferences and encourages participation in the courses opted by them.

Aims:

The aims of the study are to determine the learning styles of 1st-year students studying in Health Science University in India using visual/auditory/read-write/kinesthetic (VARK) questionnaire and to establish an association of gender and academic performance with a preferred learning style.

Settings and Design:

This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 1st-year students studying in Health Science University, Belagavi, Karnataka, India.

Materials and Methods:

The VARK questionnaire was distributed to 626 students of 1st year of their graduation. There were 413 females and 213 males across eight faculties including Dental, Medical, Physiotherapy, Nursing, Allied Sciences, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, and Pharmacy. The academic performance of 12th standard was noted and they were assessed and categorized based on their performance.

Statistical Analysis Used:

One-way ANOVA followed by post hoc using Tukey test was used for the level of significance.

Results:

The common learning style was multimodal (70.2%) and the individual sensory modality was kinesthetic style (8.63 ± 3.37). Among kinesthetic, significant mean difference in males (7.98 ± 3.41) and females (8.98 ± 3.31) was found. Kinesthetic learners showed significance between >60% to ≤70% with ≥80% and >70% to ≤80% with ≥80% in academics.

Conclusions:

Within the university, regardless of gender, students had multimodal learning style. The preferred individual sensory modality, irrespective of performance of previous academic year, was kinesthetic learning, and significant association was found with both genders and academic performance.

Authors: Dharmayat Snehal , Thakkar Mansi P. , Kolmule Shubhavi
Published: August 2023

Context:

Anatomical alteration in the alignment of the foot leads to changes in proximal joints that in turn cause mechanical variations in the spine. Changes in the lower kinematic chain can have functional consequences in the form of low back pain and may be seen in professions requiring long-standing. This is often an unexplored, under-evaluated component of low back pain and hence proves its need.

Aim:

To study the relationship between ankle-foot complex and lumbar spine, and also to determine the association between Foot Posture and Lumbar Lordosis angle in teachers.

Settings and Design:

Data for the observational study were collected from school and college teachers of Belagavi city.

Materials and Methods:

Foot posture of 200 teachers in the age group of 20–50 years was assessed using Chippaux Index and Foot Posture Index-6 (FPI-6). Lumbar curvature was measured using Flexi curve ruler and angle was calculated. Functional limitation was assessed using Low Back Pain Rating Scale and Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire.

Statistical Analysis Used:

Spearman's rank correlation and t-test were used for analysis.

Results:

Statistically significant association was noted between FPI-6, lumbar angle, Low back pain scores, and Modified Oswestry score with P = 0.0001. Gender comparison of the outcome measures did not reveal any significant relationship.

Conclusion:

Alteration in foot posture leads to changes in lumbar lordosis angle, which in turn may cause low back pain.
