Published: November 2024

Mechanical neck pain commonly arises insidiously and is generally multifactorial origin, including one or more of the
following :poor posture, anxiety, depression, neck strain and sporting or occupational activities.The McKenzie protocol
has been commonly used in low back conditions may be employed in the treatment of mechanical neck pain .MET (Muscle Energy Technique) is
a method of treatment that involves the voluntary contraction of a subject muscles in a precisely controlled direction, against a counter force
provided by the operator. MET may be used to decrease pain, stretch tight muscles and fascia, reduce muscle tones, improve local circulations,
strengthen weak musculature and mobilize joint restrictions. This study compared the effect of McKenzie neck exercise and MET in patients
with mechanical neck pains . VAS and NDI used to see the effectiveness of treatment compare to pre intervention values. .This study concluded
that both MET and McKenzie neck exercise have got beneficial effects in reducing pain and improving functional ability of patients with
Mechanical neck pain.
THYROID PROFILE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS – A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Authors: S Parameswari. , Dheebalakshmi N. , B Anitha.
Published: November 2024

Diabetes Mellitus is a significant global health issue, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia resulting from insulin
resistance and/or inadequate insulin secretion. The disease affects carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism, leading to
various complications, including cardiovascular disease and neuropathy. T2DM has been shown to have a strong association with thyroid
dysfunction. Both diabetes and thyroid disorders impact metabolic processes, particularly glucose metabolism. Thus, investigating the thyroid
profile in these patients is vital to prevent complications and improve treatment outcomes. This study was designed as a cross-sectional
investigation involving 104 patients diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels were
measured using the glucose oxidase-peroxidase (GOD-POD) method and serum levels of total T3, T4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
were assessed using chemiluminescence immunoassay techniques. Most patients are euthyroid (71.1%), with 19.2% having subclinical
hypothyroidism, which aligns with the increased risk of thyroid dysfunction in diabetics. Euthyroid patients have lower mean FBS and PPBS
values compared to those with subclinical hypothyroidism, indicating that thyroid dysfunction may contribute to poorer glycemic control. Given
the high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, particularly subclinical hypothyroidism, in patients with T2DM, routine thyroid function screening
should be considered as part of diabetes management. Early detection and treatment of thyroid disorders could improve glycemic control and
reduce the risk of associated complications.
SUBMANDIBULAR SCHWANNOMA IN NEUROFIBROMATOSIS-1: A RARE CASE REPORT
Authors: Santharaj Swathi , Hassan Mir Md Noorul
Published: November 2024

Schwannoma is a well encapsulated benign nerve sheath tumor of neuroectodermal origin with an indolent progression
unless associated with malignancy.[1] Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous
syndrome that causes multiple central and peripheral nerve sheath tumors.[2] Schwannomas arise from the Schwann cells as do neurofibromas
and are usually solitary except in Von Recklinghausen's disease. [3] The occurrence of a schwannoma in the head and neck region is about 25%,
however submandibular gland schwannoma is a rare form of an extracranial neurogenic tumor arising from peripheral, central or autonomic
nerves. [4] We report a rare case of a submandibular schwannoma in a patient with neurofibromatosis-1 which presented as a painless swelling in
the submandibular region, treated by total excision of the submandibular gland. There was no postoperative deficit or recurrence within 3 months
of follow up.

Authors: N Thanigaiarasu , Kailash Ashwin , Verma Ghanshyam , Revendran Jayamol , Kishan Roopesh
Published: November 2024

Lung cancer is the most common cause of death among all cancer deaths. Adenocarcinoma of the lung is commonly seen
in females and nonsmokers. It is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The lesions are more peripherally
located and tend to be smaller. Histologically, adenocarcinoma is present as atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (precursor lesion) which
progresses to adenocarcinoma in situ and later develops into invasive adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma of the lung is diagnosed by
histopathological confirmation via thoracocentesis of pleural effusion, excisional biopsy of an accessible lymph node, bronchoscopy guided lung
biopsy, transthoracic needle aspiration, sputum cytology, CT-guided biopsy, medical as well as video-assisted thoracoscopy. This case series
comprises three patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma who had been presented with atypical clinical features and emphasised challenges
faced in diagnosis.
COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION INTO THE PHARMACOLOGICAL POTENTIAL AND THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS OF ARTOCARPUS HETEROPHYLLUS (JACKFRUIT) SEED COAT [TESTA]
Authors: Seethalaxmi Seethalaxmi , TL Vinod
Published: November 2024

Artocarpus heterophyllus (Jack fruit) and its seeds are nutritionally rich packed with proteins, carbohydrates,
micronutrients, iron, dietary fibre, vitamin, resistant starch, and antioxidants. They lower the risk of heart diseases,
controls blood sugar, promotes weight loss, help in managing stress levels, skin diseases, good eyesight, strengthens immunity of the body, and
maintains gut health. The seed coat of jackfruit comprises a thin, waxy, parchment-like testa (husk) and a brown, membranous tegmen. Typically,
the white outer membrane of jackfruit seeds is removed and discarded before consumption. In this study, we aimed to assess the nutritional and
pharmacological properties of this unexplored slimy, white outer membrane. The methanolic extract of the seed coat membrane [Testa] was
obtained using Soxhlet extraction and used for the analysis. Phytochemical analysis of the test sample revealed the presence of flavonoids,
saponins, phenols, xanthoprotein, proteins, and phytosterols, with measurable amounts of phenols and proteins. The extract exhibited significant
antioxidant activity with an IC50 value of 232 µg/ml, using the DPPH method, and demonstrated cytotoxic properties. GC-MS analysis revealed
the presence of several compounds with anticancer and antioxidant properties. The results imply that the extract has the potential to serve as an
excellent source for antioxidant and anticancer drug in pharmaceutical medicines.
ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS FOR NSAIDS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
Authors: Saad Lamees Ben , Hassan Samia
Published: November 2024

A Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely utilized for managing pain and inflammation due to their
effectiveness. However, prolonged use of these medications can lead to a range of adverse effects, including
gastrointestinal issues, cardiovascular risks, and renal impairment. This has led to an increased interest in exploring alternative therapies that can
provide similar relief without the associated risks. This paper reviews a variety of non-pharmacological and pharmacological alternatives to
NSAIDs, examining their efficacy and safety. Non-pharmacological approaches include physical therapies, such as physiotherapy and
chiropractic care, which aim to improve mobility and reduce pain through targeted exercises and manual manipulation. Additionally, mind-body
techniques, such as mindfulness meditation and yoga, have shown promise in alleviating chronic pain by fostering mental resilience and
enhancing overall well-being. Herbal remedies also present a compelling alternative, with substances like turmeric (curcumin), ginger, and
willow bark demonstrating anti-inflammatory properties. These natural compounds often come with fewer side effects compared to traditional
NSAIDs, although thorough research is still needed to establish their long-term safety and effectiveness. Dietary modifications can also play a
crucial role in pain management. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods—such as omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, nuts, and seeds—may help
mitigate inflammation and improve pain levels. Emerging therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and stem cell therapy,
represent a new frontier in pain management, showing potential for treating musculoskeletal conditions. Overall, this review aims to equip
healthcare providers and patients with a comprehensive understanding of these alternatives, facilitating informed decision-making in pain
management strategies that prioritize safety and efficacy. By broadening the scope of pain management options, patients can better navigate their
health choices and find relief tailored to their individual needs.

Authors: Shrivastava Aditya , Razdan Ram Ghulam
Published: November 2024

Introduction- An estimated sixty million or more people use alcohol in India, and this number has increased recently. It
is estimated that 2.7%, or 2.9 crore persons, in the general population (10-75 years old) suffer from dependent alcohol
use. Multiple disorders present in one individual at the same time, either concurrently or sequentially, are known as psychiatric comorbidity.
Though the degree of the association varies with each condition, alcohol users are more likely to develop mood, anxiety, drug, and mental health
illnesses than the general population. To assess the different types of psychiatric problems in pati Objectives- 1- ents with alcohol dependence
syndrome. 2- To find out the prevalence of psychiatric problems in patients with alcohol dependence syndrome This cross- Methodologysectional comparative study was conducted at OPD & IPD of Psychiatry Department of Index Medical College & Hospital, Indore for the period
of 6 months. The total sample size of this study was 120 subjects divided into two groups i.e. 60 Cases & 60 Controls. The following tools were
used for the data collection: 1. a semi-structured socio-demographic proforma, 2. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview 7.0.2.
(M.I.N.I.). A total of 53.33% and 15% of patients with and without alcohol dependence disorder were Result & Discussion- present with one or
more psychiatric comorbidities. Among them, the most common psychiatric comorbidity present was major depressive disorder (40.63%)
followed by bipolar affective disorder (28.13%), dysthymia and social anxiety disorder (9.38% each), panic disorder (6.25%) and anti-social
personality disorder and psychotic disorder (3.13% each) in the patients with alcohol dependence disorder. We found a significant association of
presence of psychiatric comorbidities in the patients with alcohol dependence disorder. Planning a Conclusion- thorough care strategy for comorbid psychiatric disorders in alcohol- dependent people would therefore benefit from accurate assessment and evaluation of these problems.

Immersion. Between simulation and re-entanglement
Authors: Stalder Felix
Published: November 2024

Immersion in the arts is often associated with complex, cutting-edge technology. However, this technology-focused view limits our understanding of immersion. Immersion should be seen as the normal state of perception, while non-immersion is a historically and culturally specific mode created by “old media.” The aesthetics of contemporary immersion are shaped by digitization and climate breakdown, leading to two main directions: creating simulations or experiences of re-entanglement with the wider world. The idea that the world is in front of us goes against human experience, but was created by a techno-cultural environment, with the central perspective and printing press as key elements. Digitization and climate change challenge this notion and the belief that the world is populated by passive objects. The crisis of classic Western aesthetics is not new, but its articulation had little impact outside the arts. The question of the aesthetics of immersion is urgent, as different aesthetics make different aspects of digitization and climate change accessible to our perception, shaping how we experience the world and our place within it.

A Comparative Performance Evaluation of OSPF and IS-IS for Enterprise and Service Provider Networks
Authors: - Nikhil Bhagat
Published: November 2024

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) are two core link-state routing protocols of current computer networks. The paper offers an in-depth comparison of these protocols, covering their features, benefits and drawbacks in both enterprise and service provider networks. OSPF, which works with IP networks, has become an accepted enterprise network solution that is capable of being deployed with ease and efficiency in small, well-designed networks. Yet its viability in large and complex service provider networks can be hindered by scalability issues. Meanwhile, IS-IS, developed for International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Connectionless Network Protocol, is popular among service providers because of its scalability and ease of deployment, specifically for large deployments. It also goes over the history of both protocols, their differences in their behavior, and the use cases where each performs best. Finally, the decision of using OSPF or IS-IS comes from network’s size, complexity and required performance. The analysis can help network architects determine which protocol should be used for which network infrastructures.

Decoding Xi Jinping's Idiosyncratic Foreign Policy: Analyzing the Interplay of Centralized Decision-Making, Soft Power Dynamics, and Regional Security Implications
Authors: Qaiser Iqbal  , Dr Abdul Waheed  , Syeda Anjum Hayat
Published: November 2024

Comparative historical analysis will trace the foreign policy orientation of Xi Jinping: the orientation that, by the nature of things, must be different from that of his predecessors, Hu Jintao and Jiang Zemin. Xi's ideological motivations and strategic objectives will be analyzed qualitatively using a systematic review of scholarly articles and policy documents. It describes the shift from a narrative of peaceful rise to a more assertive foreign policy that aims to change the international order according to the vision of realizing national rejuvenation in China. The focus is on two critical components of Xi's policy: the soft power, on the one hand, and military modernization, on the other. Together, they reflect his dual playing of economic cooperation and territorial aspirations. This paper also explores how evolving domestic politics and the increasing competition between the United States and China shape the impact of China's soft power campaigns and its broader security strategies in the region. Findings indicate that under Xi, centralized decision-making and assertive diplomacy are redefining China's role in global governance and transforming international relations in the fast-changing multipolar world. These policies are compared with those of previous leaders to bring forth valuable insights into the dynamic change experienced by the foreign policy of China and its consequences on the international political configurations.

Authors: Umacina Nurhidayat , Amsori Amsori
Published: November 2024

Corruption in Indonesia is a complex and profound problem, hindering development and damaging public trust in state institutions. Law enforcement efforts against corruption have been regulated in various regulations, including Law No. 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption, and strengthened by the existence of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Although the legal framework has been prepared, significant challenges are still faced, such as low human resource capacity, lack of coordination between institutions, and an internalized culture of corruption. The formulation of the problem is 1) How is transparency regulated in preventing corruption? 2) What are the obstacles to transparency in efforts to prevent corruption in government? The research method used is normative juridical. The results of the study show that Indonesia still faces great difficulties in eradicating corruption. Although there have been various efforts, the increase in cases and state losses caused by corruption are still a major problem in Indonesia. There are regulations and policies to overcome corruption and punish perpetrators of corruption, but the implementation of regulations and policies still has many shortcomings so that their effectiveness has not been felt greatly.

A célok szerepe az iskolai testnevelésben: fókuszban a testnevelő tanár szakos hallgatók
Authors: Molnár Anita , Vajda Ildikó , Bognár József
Published: November 2024

A testnevelés tantárgyat szabályozó dokumentumok számos célt határoznak meg, abban azonban kevésbé segítenek, hogy egy-egy döntési folyamat során mely célok számítanak kiemelt jelentőségűnek. Fontos, hogy a köznevelés és a pedagógusképzés egységes célok, értékek, elvek és szemlélet alapján működjön.
Tanulmányunkban a Nemzeti alaptanterv (2020) által meghatározott célokat hasonlítjuk össze a testnevelő tanár szakos hallgatók által fontosnak tartott célokkal.
Megállapítható, hogy a testnevelő tanár szakos hallgatókszerint a tantárgy legfontosabb célja a mozgás és a sport megszerettetése és az általános mozgásműveltség fejlesztése. A férfi és női hallgatók között jelentős különbség mutatkozik, ugyanakkor az életkor és a képzésben való előrehaladás kevésbé befolyásoló tényezőként jelent meg a hallgatók célrendszerében. Érdemes a testnevelőtanár-képzést és a közneveléstestnevelés tantárgyát egységes irányelvek, elvárások, célok és szemlélet alapján közelíteni egymáshoz annak érdekében, hogy optimális fejlesztő hatást legyen képes biztosítani.
A didaktika jelentősége és alkalmazása a digitális oktatási környezetben: Biztos iránytű vagy megbízhatatlan eszköz?
Authors: Papp-Danka Adrienn
Published: November 2024

A didaktika tudományterülete pontosan leírja az oktatásnak azokat az elméleti kereteit, amelyeknek ismerete minden pedagógus számára biztos iránytűként szolgálhat a mindennapi oktatási gyakorlatban.
Az elmúlt évtizedekben a digitális eszközök hatására kitágultak a tanulási-tanítási terek, és a hagyományos tantermi környezet mellett különböző online, digitális oktatási környezetekben is lehetőségünk van tanítani és tanulni.
Jelen cikkünk célja amellett érvelni, hogy a hagyományos didaktikai elméletek a digitális oktatási környezetekben is biztos iránytűként szolgálhatnak.
Érvelésünk részben a nemrégiben megjelent Falus és Szűcs (2022) szerkesztette új didaktika kézikönyvön alapul. Ezen túl pedig sorra veszünk olyan példákat, amelyeken keresztül az szemléltethető, hogy talán soha korábban nem volt szükség ennyire a didaktikai ismeretekre, mint a digitális oktatás világában.
Meta-Analysis of Novel Biomarkers for Early Diagnosis of Neonatal Sepsis
Authors: Rati Annisah  , Ratu Hanny Anggorowati
Published: November 2024

Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of illness and death in newborns worldwide. Early diagnosis is critical for quick treatment and better outcomes. However, traditional markers like white blood cell count and immature-to-total neutrophil ratio are often not sensitive or specific enough. This meta-analysis reviewed PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from January 2013 to December 2023. It included studies that assessed the accuracy of procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in diagnosing neonatal sepsis. The QUADAS-2 tool was used to check the quality of the studies. Six studies, including 1245 newborns, were analyzed. PCT had the highest pooled sensitivity (0.85, 95% CI 0.80-0.90) and specificity (0.82, 95% CI 0.75-0.89), followed by IL-6 (sensitivity: 0.78, 95% CI 0.70-0.85; specificity: 0.75, 95% CI 0.65-0.83). CRP was less sensitive (0.70, 95% CI 0.60-0.79) and specific (0.68, 95% CI 0.58-0.77). In conclusion, new biomarkers, especially PCT, are promising for early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. However, more large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor with the third and second highest incidence and mortality rates worldwide, and its mortality rate is increasing annually. Colorectal cancer evolves gradually over a long period of time. The evolving process from colorectal adenoma to colorectal cancer takes approximately 10-15 years, providing a sufficiently long "window period" for early screening and diagnosis of colorectal cancer. The recurrence and mortality rates can be controlled at a low level with an early intervention. Metaxas et al sum-marized existing screening methods and their applicable scope in a recent publication. Moreover, they provide suggestions on how to improve adherence. This editorial provides a commentary on their article and discuss the roles of different screening methods in the early screening of colorectal cancer.

The Nigerian intelligence sector faces institutional limitations that hinder the successful implementation of intelligence collecting, which is widely acknowledged as a crucial tool in tackling these issues. This paper provides a thorough evaluation of the function of intelligence gathering within Nigeria's national security framework, analysing its effectiveness in dealing with current security challenges. This study seeks to offer a thorough examination of the intelligence cycle in the Nigerian setting, including the gathering, analysis, and use of intelligence in national security strategy. The research used a mixed-methods methodology, combining quantitative data obtained from a questionnaire with qualitative insights obtained from an empirical literature analysis. The Network Theory (TNT) functions as the conceptual framework, providing a perspective to examine the intricate connections and transmission of information within the intelligence network. Statistical analysis is conducted on the questionnaire results using descriptive and inferential methods, while the findings of the literature review are consolidated to offer context and depth. The study results highlight a significant dependence on Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and source intelligence (OSINT) in Nigeria, with a lack of implementation of Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) and a disregard for Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT). Furthermore, the investigation exposes inadequate levels of trust and collaboration between intelligence agencies and other security organizations. The major obstacles mentioned are insufficient financial resources, insufficient training and knowledge, technical constraints, competition among different agencies, and legal and bureaucratic restrictions. The research findings indicate that although intelligence gathering is of utmost importance for Nigeria's national security, its efficacy is hindered by structural and operational obstacles. personnel growth and comprehensive strategy to improve intelligence capabilities, which involves bolstering inter- agency collaboration, allocating resources to technical progress and skilled personnel growth, and creating a strong legal and ethical structure.

This study examines the impact of police recruitment and training practices on officer behavior and citizen complaints in Nigeria, identifying significant deficiencies that contribute to misconduct and public distrust. The research explores how inadequate recruitment standards, political interference, and insufficient training on ethics and community policing have undermined the professionalism of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). Using an exploratory approach, the study analyzes literature reviews and secondary data from academic and governmental sources, comparing Nigeria’s practices with successful reforms in other African nations. Research indicates that the lack of a centralized background check system and inadequate training contribute to pervasive police misbehavior, as seen during the "End SARS" protests. Comparative analysis highlights best practices from countries like South Africa and Rwanda, where community-oriented policing and rigorous recruitment standards have improved public trust. The study concludes that reforming recruitment and training processes is crucial to promoting accountability and restoring public confidence in law enforcement. Key recommendations include establishing a centralized recruitment database, revamping training programs, and strengthening oversight mechanisms.
