Published: November 2022

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight week core strength training (CST) on quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength and H/Q ratio. The study included a total of 20 young soccer players, 10 in the experimental group (EG) and 10 in the control group (CG). Isokinetic knee strength measurements at angular velocities of 60°sec−1 , 180°sec−1 and 240°sec−1 were performed on the subjects. Independent sample t-test and 2x2 ANOVA test were used for statistical analysis. No significance was found between the pre-test results of both EG and CG (p>0.05). In post-test results, a difference was found in favour of EG group in RPM 60o EX value (p<0.05). When the pre-test and posttest results of the groups were compared separately, a significant difference was found in RPM 60o EX, LPM 180o EX and LPM 240o EX parameters in EG (p<0.05). A significant progress was found in LPM 180o EX, LPM 180o FLX and LPM 240o FLX values in CG (p<0.05). It was found that CST applied on young soccer players affected knee isokinetic strength in different velocity and this effect caused significance especially in different angular speeds of EX phase. In addition, although significant progress was not observed in all parameters in EG after CST, it was found that there weren’t decreases in any parameters and at least strength was maintained.

Published: November 2022

Monitoring several aspects of training load, anthropometric characteristics and physiological characteristics of cyclists can be a very important factor for success in the cycling world. The study aimed to establish the differences between some physiological parameters computed by metabolic gas measurements. The study sample included 86 cyclists age 15 to 18 years (BM = 63.4 ± 7.9 kg, BH = 176 ± 7.4 cm, % body fat = 9.9% ± 3.2 %). In the first part of the study, they completed a questionnaire about the evaluation of the training process, where we identified their training habits – the frequency (13.76 ± 3.7 hours per week) and intensity of their training methods (31.7 ± 19.1% of low-intensity training). In the second part of the study, we did laboratory testing (body composition and incremental cycling test). The results showed that changes depend on the cyclists` age group. The maximal peak power output (+32.1%; p<0.01); relative maximal peak power output (+9.2%; p>0.01), and maximal oxygen uptake (+ +6,1%; p>0.05) . The main finding of the study was that as the age of a cyclist increases, there is a tendency to increase training load and may influence their performance at the laboratory test.

Published: November 2022

The purpose of our study was to examine the practical application of the progressive resistance exercise protocol among older adult women using a custom-made low-row flywheel (FW) device. The objective was to compare the effects of the FW device exercise protocol to the traditional gravitybased (GB) one, with regards to older adult women's physical abilities, i.e. shoulder mobility, upper body low-row strength, velocity, power and, lastly, trunk extensor endurance. Fourty healthy older adult women (old: 66 ± 5 years; height: 1,62 m; weight: 73,7 kg; body mass index: 28 ± 6 kg/m2 ) were randomly assigned to the FW low-row or Pulley lowrow group. They underwent eight weeks of resistance exercise. We used a two-way ANOVA for repeated measures and standardized effect sizes (ES) comparison to assess exercise-related differences within and between groups. The results showed significant improvement of resistance exercise parameters during the eight-week resistance exercise protocol, regardless of the group. Moreover, we found no statistically important inter-group differences in improvement of shoulder mobility, upper body strength, velocity, power and trunk extensor endurance. Nevertheless, the highest ES in favour of FW low-row group was found when comparing the eccentric peak power changes. We have demonstrated that FW load could be as effective and useful as GB pulley row-row resistance exercise modality. Further research is required, where the concept of the eccentric overload and muscle power enhancement with the use of FW devices for older adult population should be utilized.

Published: November 2022

Due to technology, countries have been introduced to new sports. With more demand, interest, and coverage, new sports have become so established in a society that it is as if they had always existed. Thus, mainstream and niche sports concepts emerged. Mainstream sports are those that can gather mass media and public coverage, while niche sports are those that are less popular or nonexistent. This study focuses on a niche sport in Turkey, that is, rugby; this is a sport that is not even in the top 15 popular sports in Turkey. As the aim of this study is to explore difficulties faced in the branding and marketing of a niche sport in a new area, this study uses the case study of Sivas Kangals Rugby FC. The current study adopted an inductive qualitative design. The study is based on semi structured interview of four stakeholders: the coach, athletes, sports journalists and fans. The results of the study highlighted the difficulties a niche sport could face, why niche sports faced difficulties, reasons for playing rugby, and marketing techniques for a niche sports club.

Referees assume a similar role with the players for the purpose of successfully finalizing a sports competition/match. Majority of the current studies have focused on the players/athletes’ role whilst the number of studies investigating the performance of the referees who manage the match/competition is relatively few. This study aimed to reveal whether professional self-efficacy, which is considered to be a significant predictor on the job satisfaction of referees, has an effect therein. The participants of the research comprise of 204 soccer referees assigned in different classifications. The referee self-efficacy scale (REFS) and a job satisfaction scale for the referees were used as instruments of collecting research data. The analysis of whether the research data were distributed normally or not is followed by the data analysis process. After determining that the data exhibited a normal distribution, parametric tests were performed. A path analysis was performed using the independent sample t-test for two independent variables, one-way variance (Anova) for more than two independent variables, the pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the variables and the AMOS program is used in order to evaluate the hypotheses developed within the scope of the research. In line with the findings obtained, a positive significant relationship was identified between the self-efficacy and the job satisfaction of the referees (p<0.01). ). In addition, significant differences were identified as a result of binary and multiple comparisons performed within the context of the research variables (p<0.05). Accordingly, the self-efficacy of the referees was found to have a significant effect on their job satisfaction (p<0.01).

Authors: Khan Muhammad Imran
Published: November 2022

Firewalls are the emerging technology to secure the internal network resources from outsider attacks. On the other hand, Authentication, integrity, and confidentiality are the main security challenges for firewalls. To achieve these security challenges, recently, two multicast signcryption schemes have been contributed to the literature. These two
Signcryption suffer from two main flaws: computational cost and our head communication. Keeping in view these two flaws, we designed a new multi-receiver signcryption scheme that is lightweight. A lightweight and well-secured protocol is presented for smart-IOT-based homes that are proven to be secured against impersonation, replay, and exposed session key attacks. The Proposed technique is experimented with using the AVISPA tool to ensure that the various attacks do not crack it. The efficiency and security of the proposed scheme are based on a hyperelliptic
curve cryptosystem. The hyperelliptic curve cryptography is the subtype of an elliptic curve cryptosystem, and the key size is low from the elliptic curve. Our scheme provides all the security requirements provided by the existing multi-receiver signcryption schemes with low computational and communication costs.

Authors: Abdur Rajjak
Published: November 2022

The chronicle of human migration is as old as human civilization which goes back to prehistoric time when it started flourishing in ancient Africa. The main cause behind such migrations is to have a greater opportunity for life which enfolds economic, political, social and demographic factors. But, in the course of time, the immigration has gradually become a challenging issue since it has deep-rooted connection with culture and identity. The entire process involves alienation, loss, anxiety, insecurity in the minds of the immigrants as well as the indigenous people. The present study will showcase the effect of globalization and modernization on the nations and their subjects keeping in mind the burning issue of immigration across the globe. In order to have a better understanding of one’s individuation process, the present paper will address sociological, psychological, and multicultural issues against the backdrop of xenophobia as depicted by Monica Ali in her third novel In the Kitchen. But the main focus of the present study is to demonstrate how it affects and helps in rebuilding the identity of those belonging originally to the homeland.
Education, Empowerment and Eros: Fakir Mohan Senapati’s “Rebati”
Authors: Prof. Gourhari Behera
Published: November 2022

Fakir Mohan Senapati’s “Rebati”, considered to be the first short story written in Odia, has now been hailed as a classic for the manner it dramatizes burning social issues that the Odia society confronted at the end of the nineteenth century, majorly women’s education, in a seemingly simple yet powerful narrative. Senapati, in the story, has immortalized the character of Rebati, the ten-year-old girl from nineteenth century rural Odisha, so as to express his views regarding various facets of women’s education and its relation to empowerment in a style that has historically appealed readers of all age groups. The paper attempts to highlight Fakir Mohan’s ideological ambivalence towards women’s education as well as heterosexual love as represented in the story.

Published: November 2022

In this essay, based on a key note presentation during the IUC 50th anniversary conference on fostering inclusive internationalisation, the necessity is explored of internationalisation and of inclusive internationalisation in research and education. It is argued that there is not such a thing as national science and that the global challenge we face only can be addressed through international cooperation. The present situation however is far from ideal and there are serious barriers and hurdles for inclusive internationalisation in scientific cooperation. At the same time there are promising counter strategies; related for instance to the Open Science movement, through changing funding schemes and, in particular, by concrete action of universities themselves.
Il trattamento della sindrome da intestino corto: vecchie e nuove terapie
Authors: Diamanti Antonella , Capriati Teresa , Maggiore Giuseppe
Published: November 2022

Intestinal failure (IF) is an acute or chronic condition characterized by a so severe reduced intestinal function that does not allow a stable nutritional status and a normal child growth. The “so-called” chronic benign intestinal failure (CBIF) is mainly caused by neonatal post-surgical short bowel syndrome (SBS) and less frequently by congenital motility disorders or by structural abnormalities of the intestinal epithelium. The correct management of CBIF requires a multidisciplinary approach whose target is the enteral autonomy that means the weaning from parenteral nutrition, a rescue therapy for these patients. In the last few years, a lot of attention has been paid to the identification of drugs able to stimulate the intestinal adaptation. Among these drugs teduglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-2 analogue, approved in Italy for children from January 2021, showed to be effective for the treatment of SBS in children aged one year or more. This intestinotrophic peptide improves intestinal capacity for fluid and nutrients absorption through the induction of mucosal growth and reduction of gastrointestinal motility, thus reducing the need of parenteral support. The paper reports the principal experiences in paediatrics by collecting the results in 104 patients. At present the working group of the Italian Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SIGENP) is trying to standardize and share how to use teduglutide in Italian specialized setting.

Published: November 2022

Thrombosis-associated cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders are the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity; this rate is alarmingly rising. A diverse class of antithrombotic drugs like antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents are frequently used to manage thrombus-induced physiological consequences, including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. But these agents have reported producing a series of adverse effects on the body, including potential bleeding episodes, which makes it urgent to discover antithrombotic therapy with higher efficacy, novel mechanisms of action, and fewer side effects. Research is still going on to isolate antithrombotic agents from various natural sources, and researchers are making remarkable progress in this field. In different experimental models, medicinal plant extracts and plant-derived bioactive compounds have been documented to produce antithrombotic activity through mechanisms like conventional drugs, with minimal or no side effects. Plant extracts and their bioactive compounds (phenolics, polysaccharides, peptides, terpenes, flavonoids) have proven their efficacy as potential candidates for developing safe antithrombotic therapy in numerous in vivo and in vitro models. Our review aims to introduce the readers to the relationship between thrombus formation and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), problems with traditional therapies, and the role of natural resources in managing thrombus-induced cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases with possible mechanisms.

The term “citizen journalism” refers to grass-roots media. The focus of this essay is mostly on the similarities and differences between Malaysian and Korean media. A crucial component of grassroots media is the ability of individuals to express their political beliefs in a democratic online environment. This article discusses how grassroots media has made it feasible for individuals to take part in politics with the aid of contemporary internet networks and digital technologies. Because of how widely the internet is used, journalism at the grassroots level has developed into a rare method of news delivery and collection. Political parties and their social media specialists' sharing of official campaign materials is just one aspect of grassroots journalism. Additionally, it concerns the dissemination and sharing of Facebook material that users share with their friends and family.

Authors: Modgil Neetu , Surapaneni Harika , Sowmya Naga Venkata
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Most cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) are idiopathic, so there is no specific treatment protocol for this set of patients, which is accepted worldwide. Some temporal bone studies regarding histopathological findings in SSHL cases found that most of the lesions were in the cochlea and its structures. The histological findings suggest that some inflammatory, vascular or immunological aetiology are present behind such lesions in cochlea. Inflammation being one of the major among all the aetiologies, so steroids are the mainstay of treatment for Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) cases. Material and methods: A prospective comparative study was done on 56 patients aged 18 to 70 years. Patients received 4mg/ml dose (Arm A) or 8mg/ml dose (Arm B) ofintratympanic dexamethasone injection. The targeted recovery on 5th day after 1st intratympanic steroid injection was compared with baseline Pure tone Audiometry (PTA)of day 1 for both the groups. Statistical analysis: More than 20db improvement in PTA average (0.5K,1k and 2k) onassessment at 5th day after 1stinjection was considered as recovery criteria. A comparison was done on improvement between two arms.

Since it causes less gastric irritation and can be administered once daily (initially some times twice daily), physicians are now choosing Doxycycline hydrochloride in place of tetracycline in many cases. Because of its dose advantage and effectiveness, it is being used very frequently worldwide. In Bangladesh, many pharmaceutical companies are manufacturing Doxycycline hydrochloride. This research project is aimed at investigating the antimicrobial potency of the Doxycycline hydrochloride capsules marketed by various pharmaceutical companies in Khulna city. Collected antibiotics were tested against E. coli and S. aureus through disc diffusion method. In this method paper disc were made to soak 30 pg of active ingredient and were placed on the agar plates previously seeded with E. coli and 5. aureus. The drug diffused onto the media and killed the bacteria they encounter. The diameter of the clear zone formed by the paper disk as well as the standard antibiotics disk were measured which reflects the potency of the Doxycycline hydrochloride powder.

An experiment was conducted on the seedling performance of onion seeds stored in different containers. Seeds of three onion varieties viz. Taherpuri, Kalashnagari and Faridpuri Bhati were used. It was found that the variety Kalashnagari was best among the three varieties in respect of germination percentage (49.33%) and length of the seedlings (5.428 cm). Moderately less number of abnormal seedlings (3.03) and least fungus infection (3.63) were also found in the seedlings of Kalashnagari. Tin container showed best performance in storing of onion seeds by keeping more viability of seeds, comparatively less infection by fungus (3.51) and showing less number of abnormal seedlings (2.81). Seeds stored in cloth bags also raised less number of abnormal seedlings (2.47). The maximum length of the seedlings (5.01) was found in case of the seeds stored in polythene bag. From this work it can be concluded that the variety Kalashnagari and tin container may be used for storage of onion seeds.

Published: November 2022

Bifidobacterium lactis, a well-known probiotic, was cultured in laboratory to observe the effect of substrate and mixing on cell growth. The cells were grown in MRS-IM media defined by Christian Hansen, Denmark, where carbohydrate sources were varied. Glucose, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), soy broth and commercial soymilk were used as carbohydrate sources. A one-liter bioreactor was used to grow the cells, where anaerobic condition was maintained by supplying nitrogen gas throughout the experiment. Fructooligosaccharides, and commercial soymilk were found effective on this cell growth. The overall cell growth was found to be almost indifferent, but growth rate was considerably higher due to mixing.

Authors: Islam M. R. Islam , Rahman F.
Published: November 2022

The present paper is concerned with the study of an unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid between two infinite parallel porous flat plates under the action of a uniform transverse magnetic field. The magnetic Reynolds number is taken to be sufficiently large so the induced magnetic field has been taken into account. The Laplace transform technique has been used to obtain the expressions for the velocity field and the induced magnetic field. The effect of the magnetic parameter on the velocity and induced magnetic field are presented graphically and discussed thereafter.

A RP-HPLC method has been developed for the estimation of glipizide (GLP). The proposed method is based on the separation of the drug in reversed-phase mode using BDS HYPERSIL C18 (4.6 mmø×250 mm) analytical column, mobile phase methanol:water 70:30 V/V, at the flow rate of 1.0 mL min-1 and detection wavelength 222 nm. GLP was well resolved and retained at t = 3.86 minutes. This RP-HPLC method was validated as per the recommendations of ICH Revised Q2(R1) guidelines of analytical method validation, in order to prove that the new analytical method meets the reliability characteristics. The method characteristics showed the capacity of an analytical method to keep, all over the time, the basic standards for validation: selectivity, linearity, precision, accuracy and sensitivity. The method was found linear over the range 1-7 µg mL-1. The LOD and LOQ were 0.5281 and 1.761 µg mL-1 for GLP. The validated method was successfully used for quantitative estimation(assay) of GLP from in-house formulation and marketed formulations.

Published: November 2022

In resource limiting counties, it is a common observation that patients with chronic kidney disease have undergone twice a week dialysis even though they need thrice a week dialysis regime. This not only increases the burden on hospital emergencies but also affects the quality of life of the patients. The current analysis aims to access the quality of life, biochemical variables, and adverse events in patients on twice a week dialysis having renal urea clearance less than 2 mL/min/1.73 m2 (Kr < 2 mL/min/1.73 m2) as compared to those undergoing twice weekly dialysis having Kr > 2 mL/min/1.73 m2. This investigation was carried out at the Services Hospital in Lahore's Department of Nephrology and Hemodialysis Center. The study involved a total of sixty participants. They were then split into two separate groups. Thirty participants in Group A were on dialysis twice a week and had Kr > 2 mL/min/1.73 m2, whereas in Group B, participants with the same age and sex were also on dialysis twice a week but had Kr< 2 mL/min/1.73 m2. According to the 2006 Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative (KDOQI) Clinical Practice Guidelines, individuals with renal urea clearance (Kr) less than 2 mL/min/1.73 m2 should not undergo twice-weekly hemodialysis. Therefore, Group B was not following the advised weekly dialysis schedule. The primary goal of the study was to assess the difference in biochemical variables and the last six-month emergency visit for dialysis and the second goal was to determine the quality of life by using the Sf-12 QoL questionnaire. The trial involved a total of sixty participants receiving twice-weekly dialysis. Males made up 59% of the study's participants. The participants' average age was 42.18 ± 18.10 years. Group A had a mean age of 38.9 ± 17.6 years, while group B had a mean age of 41.2 ± 14.9 years. Systolic blood pressure was considerably higher in group B compared to group A according to the clinical data (p=0.04). The biochemical examination revealed that group B had significantly lower levels of albumin than group A (p=0.001) and significantly higher levels of urea and calcium (p=0.01 and 0.046, respectively) than group A. It was discovered that group B had significantly more hospital visits than group A (p=0.003). Using the SF-12 to measure quality of life, there was no discernible difference between the groups. The patients were on twice a week dialysis despite their renal urea clearance of less than 2 mL/min/1.73 m2 having compromised clinical and biochemical parameters. They also have a poor quality of life and also a greater number of emergency visits.
