Every nutritional value of food matters to us in order to
maintain a healthy diet. Every food has a nutritional value
that should be understood for our overall health. For a
healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet, functional foods play a
crucial role. Roots and tuber crops like turmeric, ginger, and
ashwagandha have been used in India since ancient ages as
functional foods for various therapeutic uses. The major tuber
crops of India are cassava, sweet potato, yams, elephant foot
yam, taro, tannia, yam bean, arrow root, etc. They played a
key role in the diet of the early human population before
the evolution of settled agriculture. Numerous phytochemical
components of tuber crops have antioxidant and antibacterial
effects that should be explored for improving health and
reducing the risk of disease.

The characteristics of tennis game require contrasting velocity,
acceleration, deceleration, turns, changeovers, strokes,
sprints, sliding and upper arm involvement, making players
perform short bursts of high-intensity exercise interspersed
with periods of rest or low-intensity activities over a prolonged
period. Circuit training was designed to increase muscle
strength, endurance and flexibility and significantly reduce
workout time. The mechanical properties of clay and acrylic
courts vary, which alters the movement patterns and style of
play. When low friction and high-friction surfaces are analyzed
, high-friction surfaces leads to kinematic changes such as
lower attack angles (measured horizontally ), in addition to
faster running speeds and movements. To determine the
influence of the tennis court surface on the outcomes of
circuit training among recreational tennis players. This was
an experimental study in which 20 participants were recruited
according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The pre test
results were analyzed via a T test for agility, a 50 yard dash
test for speed, a vertical jump test for lower limb strength,
wiebe tennis performance strength tests for the forehand
and back hand after 8 weeks of the circuit training protocol
post test was analyzed . Comparison between pretest and
posttest results within groups and between group A and
Group B were not statistically significant. This study revealed
that there was no significant improvement in either group.
Comparing the Effects of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Ultrasound Therapy (US) on Knee Osteoarthritis: A Case Study
Authors: Bhandari Sneha , Sharma Rita
Published: January 2025

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint condition that affects individuals across various age groups, particularly in older adults. Effective management strategies, including physiotherapy interventions such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Ultrasound Therapy (US), are essential for alleviating symptoms like pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. However, limited research compares the combined effects of these modalities along with structured exercise on outcomes such as pain reduction, muscle strength, and functional improvement.
Objective: The current case study aims to assess the impact of TENS & US, combined with a consistent exercise regimen, on pain reduction, muscle strength, and Quality of Life in patient with knee OA.
Case Report: A 52-year-old female patient with chronic right knee pain underwent a four-week treatment protocol consisting of two phases: Phase 1 involved TENS therapy (Weeks 1-2), and Phase 2 involved US therapy (Weeks 3-4). Both phases were complemented by a uniform exercise program focused on strengthening, flexibility, and aerobic conditioning.
Results: Pain, measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), decreased from 7/10 at baseline to 4/10 after TENS therapy and further reduced to 3/10 after US therapy. And pain decreased from 15/20 to 10/20 in TENS and 7/20 in US in Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis Pain: Knee Osteoarthritis (ICOAP). Muscle strength improved in both quadriceps and hamstrings, with an increase in strength from Grade 3 to Grade 4 in the quadriceps and Grade 4 to Grade 4+ in the hamstrings. Range of Motion (ROM): Flexion: 100° (right), 130° (left); Extension: 0° bilaterally. The SF-36 score, indicating the patient’s functional capability and QOL, improved from 45/100 to 55/100 after TENS therapy and 45/100 to 65/100 after US therapy over the course of the study.
Discussion: The combination of TENS and US therapy provided significant benefits for pain relief, muscle strength, and functional recovery in this knee OA patient. TENS was effective in managing acute pain, allowing better engagement in rehabilitation exercises, while US therapy contributed to long-term functional improvements.
Conclusion: This case study suggests that a sequential approach combining TENS and US therapy, alongside a structured exercise program, can be an effective strategy for managing knee OA. More research with bigger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods is necessary to validate these results and improve treatment guidelines.

Published: January 2025

In situ gelling drug delivery techniques have garnered a lot of interest in the last ten years. When exposed to a range of endogenous stimuli, such as temperature increases, pH shifts, and the presence of ions, they can gel from their sol-state prior to injection. Systems can be given in a number of ways to facilitate the injection of a local or systemic treatment. They can also be used as efficient carriers for drug-carrying nanoparticles and microparticles. either natural, synthetic, or combined with a semi-artificial polymer that exhibits in situ gelling activity. In order to extend the time spent at the site of action or absorption, coupling with mucoadhesive polymers is greatly desired for the development of such systems. Because of the nasal epithelium's high permeability, quick drug absorption, avoidance of hepatic first pass metabolism, increased medicine bioavailability, and less side effects, nasal drug administration is a better option than oral and parental routes. undesirable local and systemic effects, self-medication, direct administration to the central nervous system and systemic circulation, low dosage requirements, and improved patient compliance. It is possible to stop stomach ulcers from developing. Many drugs have higher oral bioavailability than nasal bioavailability, according to recent data. Therefore, nasal medications are the main topic of this review.

Authors: Sitorus Hasan , Kodrat Kimberly Febrina
Published: January 2025

Anchovies are one of the commodities in the fisheries sector in North Sibolga District, Central Tapanuli Regency and have a high selling value. However, the price of this commodity product is not fixed so that fishermen's income is not optimal. The purpose of this study was to identify the performance of the anchovy supply chain in Panomboman Village, North Sibolga District. This study is descriptive qualitative where the data collection methods are interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The results of the study show that the design pattern of the anchovy product supply chain network involves ten main actors, namely fishermen, collectors, wholesalers, retailers, and end consumers. There are three flows, namely the flow of goods from upstream to downstream, the flow of money from downstream to upstream and the flow of information from upstream to downstream and from downstream to upstream. The results of the study showed that the performance of the anchovy product supply chain in the village was considered inefficient because there was a fairly large marketing margin between fishermen and collectors, namely IDR 3,500 upto IDR 8,000/ Kg of anchovy products. Finally, fishermen formed a group of fishermen and distributed their anchovy production directly to wholesalers.

Authors: Sumardi Sumardi , Suprianto Suprianto , Siregar Suci Rahmadani , Zai Arifin Putra , Tambubolon Regina Elianda , Mairani Fridelly
Published: January 2025

The pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of polar extract compounds from Curcuma rhizoma were evaluated using ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, and Toxicity) predictions. Most compounds exhibited high gastrointestinal (GI) absorption, with the exception of D-glucose, citric acid, and terpenoids such as alpha-pinene and zingiberene, which demonstrated low absorption, highlighting potential challenges for systemic bioavailability. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability was observed in lipophilic compounds like xanthorrhizol, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and terpenoids, suggesting their potential for CNS-targeted therapies, while polar compounds, including D-glucose, citric acid, and most curcuminoids, were non-permeant. D-glucose was the only compound identified as a P-glycoprotein (Pgp) substrate, indicating minimal efflux-related limitations for other compounds. Selective cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme inhibition was detected in compounds such as xanthorrhizol, curcuminoids, and zingiberene, suggesting potential metabolic interactions in multi-drug contexts. Promising therapeutic candidates include curcuminoids and xanthorrhizol, while non-BBB-permeant and low-absorbing compounds may require formulation strategies or alternative applications. These findings provide valuable insights into the pharmacological optimization of Curcuma rhizoma compounds, offering a foundation for further research in drug discovery and development.
Navigating Identity and Urban Experience: A Psycholinguistic Analysis of Language Use in Mohsin Hamid's Moth Smoke
Authors: Zulfiqar Ummara
Published: January 2025

This paper explores how language reflects identity and urban experience in Moth Smoke by Mohsin Hamid, focusing on Darashikoh "Daru" Shehzad, whose decline from a banker to a life of poverty and crime mirrors Lahore’s fragmented society. Through Daru’s interactions and internal monologues, Hamid captures how language reveals his psychological state, struggles with social status, and evolving identity amid Lahore’s social divides. Using Social Identity Theory as a framework, this research examines how Daru’s language choices—shifting between English and Urdu, code-switching, and colloquial phrases—reflect his conflicting desires and sense of self. English symbolizes access to the elite and represents his aspirations for sophistication and social acceptance, yet it also heightens his awareness of his insignificant status, intensifying feelings of inadequacy. This paper analyzes how Daru’s shifting language reflects his broken sense of self, as he navigates his ambitions and hatred toward the very elite he desires to join. Daru’s interactions with wealthier characters like Ozi and Mumtaz further reveal language as a marker of class and social boundaries. Their linguistic dynamics highlight power imbalances and underscore Lahore’s rigid socio-economic divisions. Through Daru’s unraveling mental state—marked by tone and language changes—Hamid portrays Lahore as a place of alienation for those who cannot fit its social expectations. This analysis demonstrates that language in Moth Smoke is more than communication; it mirrors ambitions, psychological defenses, and identity struggles in a split society. By examining language as a reflection of identity and urban alienation through the lens of Social Identity Theory, this paper offers insights into how language functions in postcolonial literature, emphasizing the psychological impact of class and exclusion in an urban landscape.

Variables such as the number of patients discharged, consultations, doctors, and nurses are used to assess the workload level. Workload estimates are derived from a linear regression model of hospital output as the dependent variable with the number of doctors and nurses in the health system as factors. The model is tested for the stability of the regression coefficients (structural breaks) dated 2000.
Results. A structural break was found in 2000 in all three dynamic rows of doctors, nurses, and discharges. There was a well-defined increasing trend in the number of patients passing through the hospitals after the liberalization of the national healthcare system. In this condition, the number of medical professionals follows its own dynamics – a slight reduction for the group of doctors and a sharp decline for the nurses in the after-reforms sub-period. These facts indicate the presence of an increasing trend in the workload and intensity of medical labour. The dependence is well established, especially in the case of nurses.
Conclusions. This study confirms the hypothesis that the liberalization of the Bulgarian healthcare system, together with open-ended payment systems, caused an intensive growth of inpatient system output and workload. The expansion, especially for hospital facilities, which is not supported by a relevant number of medical professionals, threatens workplace performance and the quality of medical services.

Authors: Hemalatha Yadav J, Kapil Arora
Published: January 2025

Businesses utilize (CSR) as a strategic method to handle ethical practices while developing positive reputation.(CSR) supports corporate decision making by combining ethical duties with reputation growth. In Bangalore's technology-driven market companies must build trust through responsible behavior to stand out in the competitive business environment. We base our study on published research and actual field data to explain how social responsibility practices influence what stakeholders think of a company's public image. This work studies how environmental protection, employee care, ethical leadership, and community engagement boost the business image through CSR initiatives. When companies maintain clear CSR policies they build stronger relationships with stakeholders who show higher loyalty to the brand as well as better employee satisfaction and trust in the organization. Organisations earn more trust when they effectively blend CSR activities into their business operations. The study shows CSR works beyond simple donations by connecting business purposes with helpful social initiatives. Aside from resource shortages and stakeholder mistrust the study points out how organizations can integrate CSR more effectively into their basic business operations. The research shows how social responsibility helps businesses build better reputations when they compete in Bangalore's competitive market. The findings provide valuable guidance to policy leaders, business managers, and academic scholars who want to launch CSR programs that benefit both business sustainability and society.

Published: January 2025

Surfaktan merupakan senyawa kimia yang digunakan untuk meningkatkan pemulihan minyak,terutama pada reservoir yang sudah tua atau sulit untuk dieksploitasi. Dengan kemampuannya untuk mengurangi tegangan antarmuka, meningkatkan wettabilitas batuan dan memobilisasi minyak yang terperangkap,surfaktan ini memainkan peran penting dalam teknik Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) untuk meningkatkan recovery factor. Lapangan Kawengan terletak di Provinsi Jawa Tengah, Indonesia, dan merupakan salah satu lapangan minyak strategis. Setelah bertahun-tahun diproduksikan, Lapangan Kawengan telah mengalami penurunan produksi minyak. Metode primary recovery dan secondary recovery sudah dipakai namun tidak lagi mampu meningkatkan perolehan minyak secara signifikan, sehingga diperlukan metode Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) seperti injeksi surfaktan. Maka dilakukan uji lab menggunakan sampel core dan minyak dari Kawengan. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode imbibisi spontan dengan beberapa fluida injeksi berupa sintetic brine, surfaktan ionic dengan konsentrasi 1%, 1,5% dan 2% guna menjadi pembanding bagaimana hasil ekstraksi minyak dari core yang telah dijenuhkan. Bersarkan hasil dari beberapa pengujian disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan surfaktan 2% pada imbibisi menunjukan hasil yang lebih baik dengan recovery factor 48%. Penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai pedoman dalam pengembangan pengujian surfaktan terkhusunya pada sampel minyak lapangan Kawengan.

Coal Seam Gas Mining: Potential to Induce Seismic and Aseismic Events and Aquifer Discontinuity
Authors: Dart Peter , Lynam Colin , Edwards Geoffrey
Published: January 2025

We review seismic hazard factors observed around the world resulting from mining coal seam methane by the process of ‘fracking’. The process of fracturing coal and sediment strata then pumping large volumes of water out of the well reduces hydrostatic pressure in the seams, releasing more gas. This has potential to induce leakage of water from other aquifers into this zone, through existing or fracking-created-fissures in surrounding sediment layers. Fracking is a micro-seismic event, which can activate existing or create new geological faults to increase leakage of water and gas through them. The high pressures required for fracking create tension in sedimentary layers surrounding the well and these pressures can be transmitted over several kilometres and lead to concurrent micro-seismic or continuous aseismic ‘creep’ events, long after the initial activity. Globally, it is well recognised that fracking causes earthquakes. Changes in pressure in the sediment layers around mined coal seams also leads to subsidence of overlying strata and depletion of water in the aquifers, with irreversible drastic negative effects on farming.

In our study area in Queensland, Australia, gas is extracted from the Walloon Coal Measures within the Surat Basin and Bandanna Coal Formation in the Bowen Basin, aquifers associated with the Great Artesian Basin. The Queensland Government stopped measuring seismic events in 1986. Geoscience Australia provides located earthquake data of Richter magnitudes Mb >3.5, meaning numerous more relevant smaller events are not recorded or located. ‘Making good’ the effects of CSG mining, as required in Conduct and Compensation Agreements between mining companies and landholders, cannot be readily fulfilled. Tolerating ignorance of recognised seismic risk factors is a breach of the ‘precautionary principle’, a policy commitment of the Queensland and Australian Governments since 1992 and abrogates their obligation to protect the public interest.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Epithelioid hemangiomas (EH) are benign vascular tumors that commonly occur in the skin, subcutis, and bone—most typically arising as nodules in the neck and head region. Pediatric cases with atypical presentations remain rare and challenging.

Case Report: The following outlines the case of a 2-year-old male who presented with a bump and swelling on the left side of his head. Imaging tests identified multiple, hyperdense, and focally ring-enhancing intra-axial lesions located mainly at the gray-white matter junction of bilateral frontal left-sided parietal, left-sided occipital, and left-sided temporal lobes. In addition, multiple lytic lesions were seen in the calvarium. Pathology confirmed EH. While one lesion required surgical resection, the remaining lesions showed spontaneous regression during follow-up.

Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic and management challenges associated with pediatric EH involving the head, including intracranial involvement. The patient’s unique presentation, age, and lesion involution expand the understanding of EH beyond its typical manifestation.
