Understanding the reproduction and recruitment pattern is essential for successful conservation of a species. Accurate estimates of fecundity plays acrucial role in comprehending fish population dynamics. The snowtrout, Schizopyge niger, is a Cyprinid fish widely distributed throughout the lakes of Kashmir valley and is one of the most important commercial fish species. In this study, we examined the age-dependent reproductive perfor-mance of female S. niger, aiming to gain insights into its breeding characteristics for the development of an optimal brood-stock management plan. The study involved 78 female S. niger specimens collected from Dal Lake during the spawning season, representing age groups of 2+, 3+, 4+, 5+, and 6+ years. Fecundity and ova diameter showed an increasing trend from age 2+ (3,971 eggs; 1.45 mm) to age 6+ (10,501 eggs; 2.00 mm). Total fecundity exhibited positive correlations with age, total weight, ovary weight, and ova diameter. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between ova diameter and fish age, with the highest fecundity and largest ova diameter observed in the 6+ years age group. Among each age group, fecundity and ova diameter varied significantly (p <0.05). Based onthese findings, for optimal broodstock management of S. niger, it is recommended to use females of the6+ years age group after assessing the quality of eggs.

Authors: M Kavitha , Geetha Sasikumar
Published: October 2024

Sepioteuthis lessoniana is one of the commercially important species, showing genetic differences among its lineages B (Gulf of Mannar) and C (Palk Bay). This study estimated the average fecundity of S. lessoniana from lineages B at 1,043 oocytes, ranging from 308 oocytes in a female, 18.0 cm dorsal mantle length (DML), (11.8 g ovary weight), to 2,563 oocytes in a female, 34.9 cm DML (70.4 g ovaryweight). Larger females exhibited higher fecundity, which increased with DML according to the equation Fecundity=0.2266*DML2.5802. The fecundity-ovary weight relationship followed the equation: Fecundity=21.379+33.131*ovary weight. These findings contribute to our understanding of S. lessoniana stocks from lineage B and their management.

Published: October 2024

Children with intellectual disabilities are unable to follow regular school programs, but they possess abilities that can be developed through education, which includes determining appropriate service programs based on the needs and conditions of children with intellectual disabilities. According to data from the 2018 Basic Health Research, the province of Central Java has 20,150 children with disabilities aged 5-17 years. A preliminary study conducted by the researcher at SLB N Slawi found that there were 307 students with disabilities. Gross motor skills involve activities or tasks that require coordination of muscles and nerves. The game of hopscotch can help children practice moving their bodies, improve agility, and enhance dexterity during play. The purpose of this research is to examine the implementation of playing hopscotch to develop gross motor skills in school-age children with moderate intellectual disabilities. This research is descriptive with a case study approach and has been reviewed through an ethical test. Data were collected through interviews, observation, physical examinations, and documentation. The TMGD (Test of Gross Motor Development) instrument and observation sheets were used. After the intervention, conducted 3 times with 30-minute sessions, the results showed effectiveness in the form of improvements in gross motor skills after each hopscotch therapy session. The TMGD instrument and observation sheets were used for measurement. Children with moderate intellectual disabilities are advised to engage in hopscotch therapy once a day for 30 minutes.
Interpreting Arc and Line Shapes in the Fault Ruptures of the 2016 Mw7.8 Kaikoura, New Zealand and the 2023 Mw7.8 and Mw7.6 East Anatolian Fault, Turkey-Syria Earthquakes: A Theoretical Approach
Authors: Daryono Mudrik Rahmawan , De Gelder Gino , Patria Adi
Published: October 2024

This study examined the arc and line shapes produced in the fault ruptures of the 2016 Mw7.8 Kaikoura earthquake in New Zealand and the 2023 Mw7.8 and Mw7.6 East Anatolian Fault earthquakes in Turkey-Syria. Theoretical fault mechanisms and physical laws of movement were used to interpret the conceptual geometry of the arc and line shapes, and kinematics force movement. Using computer-aided design (CAD) on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) metric projection, this paper presents earthquake parameters defining the fault geometry, including straight lines and arc shapes with specific measurements such as radius, length, angles, and normal/perpendicular vectors. Comparative analysis revealed distinctions between the two seismic events. Specifically, the Kaikoura earthquake exhibited a smaller normal vector compared to the Turkey-Syria earthquakes. Further interpretation uncovered that the Kaikoura earthquake resulted from pressure exerted by the radius arc vector from both the south-east and north-west, aligning with the continuation of the north-easternmost fault rupture. This suggests that the primary fault vector aligns with the fault trend. In contrast, the Turkey-Syria earthquakes displayed two independent circuit systems. The first event in the Turkiye-Syria rupture underwent an orientation change or bending of about 137 degrees (from N24oE to N68oE). The normal vector of the second earthquake originated from the bending angle of the first earthquake, close to its hypocenter. The rupture of the Kaikoura earthquake followed a lineament orientation of N47oE, forming an approximately 10-km wide corridor, comprising both straight lines and arc shapes.

Published: October 2024

The present study aims to analyze the impact of the presumed credit of Tax on the Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) on a technology company located in the State of Santa Catarina, focusing on the year 2023. The presumed credit, granted by the state government according to RICMS/SC, aims to reduce the tax burden of companies in the sector, promoting technological and commercial development. It is a qualitative and descriptive approach, based on a case study of the company, analyzing financial documents such as trial balances, ICMS statements (DIME), and other accounting reports. The results show that, in 2023, the company achieved significant tax savings. Of the total recoverable ICMS on incoming goods, 13.61% were reversed, while 86.39% were used, resulting in a recovered credit of R$ 1,085,242.39. As for the ICMS on outbound goods, the presumed credit reduced the amount payable by 75.45%, generating savings of 92.12% in the total ICMS due to the state government. This allowed the company to allocate more resources to Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) activities and market expansion. From this, it was possible to conclude that the presumed credit brought clear financial benefits to the company in the short term, encouraging innovation and expansion. However, the study points out that, for more consistent and lasting results, tax incentives need to be complemented by other policies.

EFFECTIVE REHABILITATION STRATEGIES FOR MUSCLE INJURIES IN FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Authors: Da Fonseca Giulliana Iafrate
Published: October 2024

The rehabilitation of muscle injuries in football players is a pivotal area of sports physiotherapy, addressing the intense physical demands and high injury rates associated with the sport. Muscle injuries often arise from factors such as overload, muscle imbalances, and improper techniques, impacting athletes' performance and career longevity. To optimize recovery, evidence-based methodologies are crucial, allowing physiotherapists to create personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to the specifics of each injury. Central to effective rehabilitation is a thorough functional assessment, which identifies specific deficits in players. Techniques such as electrotherapy and therapeutic ultrasound are effective in accelerating healing and reducing pain, while functional taping provides support without restricting movement. Neuromuscular rehabilitation is equally vital, incorporating proprioceptive exercises to enhance stability and prevent future injuries. The multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration between physiotherapists, medical professionals, nutritionists, and coaches, ensures comprehensive care for athletes. Psychological support also plays a key role in addressing anxiety and fostering a positive mindset during recovery. Recent studies underscore the importance of accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment plans, utilizing frameworks like the PRICE principle and specific rehabilitation protocols that facilitate faster and safer returns to play. The literature indicates a gap in understanding among team managers regarding the role of sports physiotherapy, highlighting the pressure players face to return prematurely, which increases the risk of re-injury. In summary, successful rehabilitation of muscle injuries in football necessitates a comprehensive, personalized approach that integrates physical, nutritional, and psychological elements. As research continues to evolve, these strategies will enhance the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs, ensuring football players can recover fully and maintain optimal performance levels.

Introduction. After living through Covid 19, it is essential to carefully review the process to identify the turning points that determined the result, it is not a search for culprits as would be done in times of obscurantism, but a scientific approach, the objective of this research is to identify the weaknesses and recognize the successes by relating them to the knowledge that has been educationally pointed out as indispensable (Delors,  J., 2013). Methodology: In Google Scholar in Spanish we search for complete texts, free of charge, from the period 2022 to 2024, with the keywords: educational knowledge, knowing how to be, knowing how to learn, knowing how to do, knowing how to live with others, pandemic, confinement, medicine, multidisciplinarity and Covid 19. They were then read and synthesized, then the actions were identified and categorized as favorable or unfavorable events, depending on the results and conclusions of the authors; At the same time, the relationship between the results and educational knowledge was reflected on, and evidence of multidisciplinarity was also sought. Duplicate works, or without free access or that did not deal directly with the challenges of Covid, were discarded. Results: The best combination for the search was: knowing how to be, knowing how to learn, knowing how to do, knowing how to live with others, medicine, pandemic, Covid 19, confinement and multidisciplinarity, the search yielded 83 results, we selected those with different themes, avoiding repetitions. Table 1. Successes and failures during the pandemic the results are shown, we find successful experiences in groups with mastery of the 4 knowledges characterized by their tolerance and resilience; In contrast, papers were published supporting a notable increase in violence and pre-existing problems that were exacerbated during the health crisis. Conclusions: The greater the mastery of knowledge, the greater the opportunity to resolve conflicts, the lower the mastery of knowledge, the greater the number of failures in various scenarios. The pandemic is the first global challenge that could be contained with multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration. It is essential to include strategies to strengthen the acquisition of knowledge, which is the basis for multidisciplinarity.

Published: October 2024

Managing faults in the electrical secondary distribution network is a challenging task given the nature, size, and complexity. Predicting faults early before they occur helps in increasing the safety and reliability of the power distribution system. Various statistical and machine learning techniques are being used to predict different types of faults. This study applies classification algorithms available in the big data framework Apache Spark through its python interface PySpark to predict electrical secondary distribution network faults. The study evaluates and compares nine algorithms: Decision tree, Gradient-boosted tree, Logistic regression, Naïve Bayes, Multilayer perceptron, Random forest, Linear Support Vector Machine, One-versus-rest and Factorization machines. The research uses Friedman’s test followed by the Nemenyi post hoc test to find the significance of performance differences among the algorithms. The results show significant differences among the algorithms. Gradient-boosted tree and One-versus-rest with Gradient-boosted tree had the best performance for binary and multiclass classification, respectively, while Naïve Bayes had the worst performance.

Published: October 2024

En este proyecto se modificó una zeolita tipo mordenita mediante un recubrimiento con magnetita (Fe3O4) para incrementar su potencial uso en tratamiento del agua como adsorbente; para ello, se determinó su área superficial mediante el método de adsorción del azul de metileno (AM). La mordenita proviene de los residuos de la mina de Tezoantla, Hgo. Se evaluó la adsorción del AM en la mordenita natural, en la modificada superficialmente con magnetita (Fe3O4-mordenita) y en la Fe3O4. Se encontró que estos últimos dos materiales tienen capacidades de adsorción del AM mayores que las de la mordenita natural, debido posiblemente a que se forman complejos estables con el AM. La estimación del área superficial arrojó valores discrepantes con respecto a la bibliografía, pero que indican de modo preliminar que el recubrimiento magnético aumentó el área superficial de la zeolita. Estos resultados permiten anticipar que el composito mordenita/magnetita tiene un uso potencial en sistemas de tratamiento del agua.

Published: October 2024

Durante la producción de queso, se obtiene una gran cantidad de lactosuero como residuo (Gómez et al., 2019; Álvarez-Delgado y Otero-Rambla 2020). El suero de leche es un material rico en proteínas de alto valor alimentario, como β-lactoglobulinas, α-lactalbuminas, glycomacropeptidos, immunoglobulinas y proteasa-peptona (Krissansen, 2013; Wijayanti et al., 2014). Alrededor del 50% del suero producido en el mundo no recibe algún tipo de tratamiento para su recuperación, principalmente porque los pequeños y medianos productores no pueden adquirir alguna tecnología para aportar valor añadido a este residuo (Tavares y Malcata, 2016). Se han desarrollado numerosas investigaciones para el aprovechamiento del suero de leche, en la producción de biocombustibles, como etanol, butanol, glicerol, metano, hidrógeno, entre otros. También se ha investigado su potencial para la obtención de ácidos grasos de cadena corta, con valor comercial (Bourda et al., 2017; Ramos y Silva, 2017). En el presente estudio, se evaluaron dos tipos de pretatamiento del lactosuero (desproteinizado térmico y químico), de los cuales los tratamientos térmicos obtuvieron los mejeores rendimientos en la producción de etanol, siendo de 25.28 g / L de suero, utilizando Kluyveromyces marxianus en la fermentación; para lactosueros ácidos sin pretratamiento se obtuvieron 22.12 g / L de suero, con Kluyveromyces marxianus, y utilizando una hidrólisis enzimática y fermentación con Saccharomyces cerevisiae, se obtuvieron rendimientos de 18.96 g / L de suero, con tratamiento de desproteinizado térmico.

Dado el acelerado crecimiento de las poblaciones, y las actividades que esto conlleva, el problema de contaminación de agua se ha agravado con el paso de los años, presentándose distintos tipos de contaminantes en solución que disminuyen la calidad del recurso hídrico. En México, las diversas actividades económicas que se llevan a cabo aportan una amplia gama de contaminantes; de entre ellos, la presencia de plata en efluentes industriales representa un foco de atención, debido a los potenciales riesgos que estas descargas representan. Los métodos tradicionales de descontaminación de agua por metales como la plata resultan costosos y por la generación de residuos peligrosos, suponen un problema adicional. Estudios recientes reportan que el proceso de degradación anaerobia es una buena alternativa para la remoción de metales solubles a partir de su reducción al estado metálico, debido a la disminución del potencial óxido-reducción (ORP). Además, se ha demostrado que la aplicación de nanotecnología en la desinfección de agua con Escherichia coli resulta efectiva, por lo que las propiedades de las nanopartículas de plata (AgNP) se encuentran en evaluación en este campo. En este trabajo se planteó la síntesis de AgNP recuperadas de un agua residual sintética, mediante la reducción de plata iónica (Ag+) a plata metálica (Ag0), utilizando bacterias metanogénicas, con el fin de desinfectar agua. La síntesis se realizó en pruebas en lote con bacterias metanogénicas y nitrato de plata (AgNO3) como precursor de las nanopartículas; estas se caracterizaron por microscopía electrónica de transmisión (TEM-EDS) y espectroscopía UV visible. Se evaluó además la propiedad bactericida de las AgNP contra Escherichia coli, a través de la determinación de la concentración mínima inhibitoria (CMI) y la concentración mínima bactericida (CMB). Los resultados indicaron la presencia de AgNP esféricas dispersadas, y una CMI y CMB de 1 mg/L y 10 mg/L. respectivamente.

The effectiveness of intramuscular dry needling stimulation in treating trigger points: A case series
Authors: Al Kharusi Ahmed , Swaminathan Narasimman
Published: October 2024

Myofascial trigger points are a common presentation in clients with chronic spinal pain. Various techniques are used to manage trigger points and are considered a vital part of chronic spinal pain management. Reducing pain caused by trigger points may be effective in improving function. Case series can provide preliminary evidence and assist in feasibility assessment. The objective of this case series is to document the feasibility of intramuscular dry needling stimulation in managing trigger-point-induced chronic pain.
Three individuals aged 35, 33, and 28 years presented to a private clinic with chief complaints of scapular region muscular pain, and their management is reported in this case series. Initial physical examination revealed tenderness over D6 and D8. There was a palpable para spinal muscle hypertonicity and reduced thoracic spine mobility to both sides in all the three clients. The presence of multiple trigger points bilateral to the spine indicated postural dysfunction, which altered pain on changing thoracic posture.
Clients were treated with dry needling with intramuscular stimulation over trigger points, paraspinal muscle and inferior to scapula by a therapist trained in the technique. The frequency was kept at 1.5 Hz and intensity was as tolerated by the patient. Outcome measures were taken using VAS, RMDQ and digital inclinometer for thoracic spine rotation. Subject one reported a change of 22 mm in VAS after the first week and 40 mm in the fourth week. It also reported an improvement in mobility to both side rotations by 20 degrees in the first week and full towards the fourth week. Subject two and three improved VAS by 10 mm in week one and 35 mm towards the fourth week. Full mobility was achieved in the fourth week in both cases. RMDQ scores improved significantly in the three cases.
The three cases demonstrate significant improvement in both symptoms and function based on outcome measures. This indicates the efficacy of treating thoracic spine myofascial trigger points with dry needling and intramuscular stimulation, but a large-scale study is recommended.

Objective. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Kinesiophobia level on postural stability during Single Leg Squat Test (SLST) in females with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS).
Methods. Forty women with PFPS were divided into a High Kinesiophobia level group (HK), a Low Kinesiophobia level group (LK), and a pain-free control group of twenty participants. Postural stability was measured during the performance of the Single Leg Squat Test (SLST) on a force platform. The centre of pressure (COP) excursion and velocity were recorded.
Results. The HK group had a significantly higher mean medial–lateral and anterior-posterior COP displacement compared to the LK and control groups. However, the results showed no significant differences in COP variables (velocity and displacement) between LK and healthy subjects. Muscle strength of participants with PFPS presented a significant deficit compared to healthy control group.
Conclusions. High Kinesiophobia negatively affects postural stability during the SLST. Kinesiophobia should be considered during the assessment and management of PFPS.

The provision of good treatment can increase various positive things for the growth and development of children with disabilities, one of which is Positive and Negative Reinforcement. This study aims to determine the influence of positive and negative reinforcement on enhancing motivation for basic locomotor movements in children with disabilities. This study uses a pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted at Kendungkandang State Special School with a sample of 20 students. The data collection technique in this study uses tests and measurements. The results of the study showed a significant influence of Positive Reinforcement on the increase in basic locomotor motivation in children with disabilities. This result was confirmed by a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Negative reinforcement also had a significant effect on improving basic locomotor motivation in children with disabilities, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Although both had a significant influence on improving basic locomotor motivation in children with disabilities, Positive Reinforcement was found to have a stronger effect. This result can be seen from the basic locomotor motion test, where the mean value for Positive Reinforcement was 72.50, while the mean value for Negative Reinforcement was only 63. Therefore, this research concludes that Positive Reinforcement has a greater influence on enhancing basic locomotor motivation in children with disabilities.
Evaluation of the impact of shockwave therapy on the functioning of a patient with a lower calcaneal spur
Authors: Pętek-Podymniak Agata
Published: October 2024

Introduction. A common cause of heel pain is the presence of a calcaneal spur. This condition may disrupt the posterior superficial fascia chain and can also lead to problems in distant areas of the body. Among the physical methods used, shockwave therapy is often applied. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of shockwave therapy and its effect on the tension of the gastrocnemius muscle, which is part of the posterior fascia chain.
Materials and Methods. A 52-year-old female patient diagnosed with a left lower calcaneal spur underwent a series of six radial shockwave therapy sessions, performed twice a week. The method for assessing the therapy’s effectiveness involved measuring pain on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and changes in tissue temperature before, immediately after, and five minutes post-therapy. Electromyographic (EMG) examination was used to assess the tension of the gastrocnemius muscle.
Results. An average decrease in temperature was observed immediately after the treatment (from 25.3°C to 24.45°C). After five minutes, the temperature increased to 27.05°C compared to the initial measurement. The resting tension of the gastrocnemius muscle, as measured by EMG, decreased as follows: channel 1: from 0.6 µV to 0.4 µV, channel 2: from 4.3 µV to 3.2 µV. Pain decreased from a level of 7 to 2 on the VAS scale.
Conclusions. Shockwave therapy is an effective solution for alleviating pain in the case of a calcaneal spur. The reduction of resting tension in the gastrocnemius muscle leads to a decrease in elevated tension within the posterior myofascial chain, which may help reduce the risk of secondary pathologies in distant areas along the chain.

Background. Unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) is a kind of spastic cerebral palsy which is characterized by atypical posture of upper limb, poor eye-hand coordination, and reduced hand skills. These symptoms can restrict a child’s ability to engage in life activities. Purpose. To compare the effectiveness of mirror therapy as well as task-oriented training on hand functions improvement among UCP children. Methods. Sixty children suffering from UCP were randomly allocated into three equal groups. A schemed physical therapy protocol was utilized to the control, mirror therapy (MT), and task-oriented training (TOT) groups. The protocols of mirror therapy and task-oriented training were administered to MT and TOT groups respectively. Assessments of upper extremity skills, hand dexterity, wrist extension range of motion, along with overall grip strength were conducted at baseline and after intervention using the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST), Box and Block Test (BBT), universal goniometer, as well as pneumatic squeeze handheld dynamometer respectively. Throughout a total of twelve consecutive weeks, the intervention session was held three days a week. Results. The change amount in all measured hand outcomes were significantly improved following the intervention in all three groups, with the TOT group showing a larger significant effect. Conclusion. Task-oriented training had superior impact than mirror therapy in enhancing hand functions among children having UCP.

In this approach, considering to ice crystal sticking effects, a numerical model was established to solve the particle impingement property of a large bypass ratio aeroengine under mixed-phase icing conditions. The collection efficiency of droplets obtained by the proposed model is are well in agreement with the literature and the collection efficiency of ice crystals is significantly higher than that of droplets due to the greater inertial force. The mechanism of liquid film acting on the ice crystal adhesion affect was investigated. It is found that the greater melt ratio can lead to more sufficient liquid water and more extended wetting limit, which have more significant capability of sticking ice crystals. Meanwhile, due to ice crystals subjected to centrifugal force, the sticking coefficient of ice crystal will cliff-like drop, and the cliff-like effect is more pronounced accompanied by the greater centrifugal force.
