"The motor behavior of six football players aged 21 to 25 is investigated in this research. We examined the players using the HUBER® 360 platform and several functional tests such as the Stability test, Unipodal test, Stability limit test, Mobility restrictions test, and Upper and lower limb coordination test to obtain the information needed to avoid injuries while participating in performance sports. This study is relevant to footballers because injuries have a short-term detrimental impact on the health of the enhancers if they are discovered in time and a long-term negative impact if they are not detected. The preliminary testing on the HUBER® 360 equipment is specialized in defining the performance capacities of footballers and not only, by recognizing specific characteristics of the athletes, it is possible to correct them and thus improve sports performances.The data taken on such a group of football players are significant to the sport practiced as a professional, and so can be used to develop training methods and techniques for the sportsmen in question. Among those researched, it is discovered that corrective training sessions must be utilized, but it is also possible to specify which directions, positions, and speeds of movement must be avoided or used with caution.

The implementation of aqidah akhlak education can be seen as a forum to foster and shape the behavior of students in developing knowledge (cognitive), attitude (affective) and habituation (psychomotor). Aqidah akhlak education should push all these aspects towards achieving the perfection of life based on Islamic values. The formation of karimah character among madrasah aliyah students through the learning of aqidah akhlak. The purpose of aqidah akhlak education is to instill and improve the faith of students and raise awareness to akhlakulkarimah. Learning activities are an effort to create a pedagogical and anthrogic atmosphere that is conducive to the situation and conditions to achieve a more effective, efficient and enjoyable standard of moral competence. The influence of aqidah akhlak education in life and bring changes to the behavior of students who are better and responsible, especially in the implementation of Islamic teachings in everyday life. A teacher is expected to master learning methods that can encourage students to be active in the classroom. The lecture method is very important, but if it is not balanced with other methods or strategies it will become very boring. The inhibition factor in the formation of akhlakulkarimah character, especially through the learning of aqidah akhlak in madrasah aliyah is: the basic ability of the students who follow the lessons of moral aqidah is very diverse. The lack of attention of students to moral problems, learning materials aqidah akhlak emphasize more cognitive aspects, control of students outside the lesson is quite difficult.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced schools to carry out online learning. This study aims to determine the implementation of online learning and the challenges for teachers, students, and parents. This study uses a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and written document studies. The data were analyzed using data reduction techniques, presentation, and verification. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of online learning at State Junior High School 1 Pasangkayu is less effective. The learning media used is the WhatsApp application with the assignment method in photos, documents, videos, and links. The problems faced by teachers in online learning are students' low interest in learning and lack of mastery of Information Technology. Meanwhile, the problem for students is that they cannot afford the internet quota and do not have an internet quota. They are bored, and their learning concentration is disturbed, they do not understand the material, the internet network is not stable. Problems for parents are low economic ability and low education level. The implication of this research is the need to apply online learning creatively and innovatively in presenting learning materials. In addition, it is also necessary to combine online and offline learning so that students who do not have an Android cellphone and a stable network can participate in learning during the pandemic.

Implementation of morals of faith Learning is the central pillar in shaping the character of good students so that schools have their value in implementing educational programs. This study aims to determine the entire series of implementation of morals of faith learning in madrasas. The study used qualitative methods with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews and written documents. Based on the results of data analysis using Behavioristic learning theory, it shows that the learning of morals of faith is carried out by reinforcing the form of advice before and after the learning is carried out. Then students are given a stimulus in the form of awards when learning is carried out well and given guidance again if students have not achieved the learning objectives well. Furthermore, the teacher adapts according to the learning conditions faced in the classroom. This study also shows that learning morals of faith is to instil a strong belief in students in Allah SWT. This form of learning is carried out through direct face-to-face and online learning (E-Learning). Morals of faith learning is also carried out in a combination between lectures, question and answer discussions and exemplary methods.

Abdominal surgery on patients with significant body malformation is often a challenge for an operative team. Particularly, when patient presents lesions suspected for malignancy but benign disease cannot be excluded. In the reported case the patient suffered from cerebral palsy and had extreme spinal distortion with significant displacement of internal organs. Solid renal mass was detected incidentally, but because of body deformation the biopsy to asses pathological status could not be performed. The decision to perform surgery was made and the patient underwent successful laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Pathology examination of the specimen revealed renal cell carcinoma grade 2.

World population is increasing at a tremendous rate so is the demand for animal-based protein. Aquaculture is a promising industry that has the potential to supply high quality protein for mankind with minimum environmental impact. In the past decade, aquaculture practices have been shifting from extensive to intensive culture. To achieve maximum production per unit area, high stocking densities are maintained in intensive aquaculture. If not managed properly, this may lead to stress in fish. Fish under stress condition show decreased growth, suppressed appetite, weakened immunity and increased susceptibility to infections. Chemicals, vaccines and antibiotics are used for the treatment of diseased fish. Use of synthetic chemicals, vaccines and antibiotics is not sustainable because pathogens develop resistance against them and they have high residues. Moreover, certain chemicals used for the treatment of fish diseases are not safe for humans therefore are banned in some countries. Plant parts and their extracts are used in traditional medicines to cure many diseases and to improve health of mankind. In aquaculture industry, use of plants and their derivatives in fish feed to improve health status of fish is increasing. Several plants improve growth and overall health status of fish, some provide protection against pathogens by improving the immune system while others increase appetite by direct action on neuro-endocrine axis of fish. This review provides an in depth and up-to-date information about use of medicinal plants and their derivatives to improve growth and physiological status of fish and their possible mechanism of action.

The effects of different dietary levels of algae (Sargassum angustifolium) extract were investigated on the antioxidant system of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Fish (30.2 ± 2.1 g) were fed 0 (control), 5, 10 and 15 g/kg basal diet of Sargassum angustifolium extract (SAE) for 60 days and then exposed to an environmentally relevant concentration of diazinon (2 mg/l) for 24 h. The biochemical assays were conducted in two times including at the end of feeding period and after 24 h exposure to diazinon. According to the results, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the liver remained unchanged (P>0.01) during feeding period, while significantly increased in response to diazinon in control and fish fed 5 and 10 g/kg diet SAE (P<0.01). The hepatic metabolic enzymes (AST: Aspartate aminotransferase, ALT: alanine aminotransferase, LDH: lactate dehydrogenase, CK: creatine kinase) showed no significant changes in all groups during feeding period, while these enzymes increased in Non-SAE supplemented fish and those fed 5 and 10 g/kg SAE after exposure to diazinon (P<0.01). Although little elevations were observed in the activity of hepatic antioxidant enzymes (CAT: catalase, SOD: superoxide dismutase, GPx: Glutathione peroxidase) in fish fed SAE, these elevations were not significant (P>0.01). After exposure to diazinon, antioxidant enzymes significantly decreased in control and fish fed 5 g/kg diet SAE, while the fish of 10 and 15 g/kg diet SAE treatments showed significant elevations (P<0.01). The antioxidant-related genes (sod, cat, gpx) significantly expressed more in response to dietary SAE compared to control (P<0.01). After exposure to diazinon, all groups showed significant elevations in antioxidant-related genes (P<0.01). In conclusion, the results of the present study revealed the antioxidant enhancing effects of SAE at dietary levels of 10 and 15 g/kg diet, which this effect may be attributed to some antioxidant components in the chemical composition of the macro-algae or to the direct effect of SAE on antioxidant defence system of the fish.
New uses of ketoprofen – a review of studies from 2015 to 2021
Authors: Kuczynska Joanna , Nieradko-Iwanicka Barbara
Published: May 2022

Ketoprofen (K) belongs to the family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and demonstrates analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties. K is one of the most commonly used NSAIDs because of the speed and effectiveness of its activity. K is currently used for the treatment of pain and treatment of symptoms in rheumatic diseases, however, many researchers are looking for new uses of K. The aim of the review was to present the possible applications of K as indicated in current literature. We searched research literature and compiled all the reports (2015 onwards) we could find about new possible employments of K in health practices. Many studies have been aimed at obtaining new uses of K. This article describes the use of ketoprofen lysine salt for treating injured gastric mucosa, the anti-allergic potential of K, the employment of K in treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, human lymphedema and seizures, as well as the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of K, prospects for the use of K in oncology and transplantology. The findings of the review confirm that K, its derivatives and complexes have many newly discovered effects. It is likely that in the future, K will have more indications than it has today.

This manuscript reviews evidences underlying the estimation of risk of malignancy enhancement of advanced aggressive cancers as a result of the gamma radiation emitted by tracers used in PET diagnostics. We conclude that among many cancers, such a phenomenon likely occurs, particularly in tumor cells with an aggressive biology in the advanced stages of their development, e.g. prostate cancer, melanoma and colorectal cancer. Moreover, we surmise based on gathered evidence that fluorine -18 (18F) labeled pharmaceuticals (18F-deoxyglucose and 18F-choline), commonly used in positron emission tomography (PET) can lead to malignancy enhancement of diagnosed cancer, manifesting as accelerated infiltration of the neighboring tissue, accelerated metastasis and/or radio- and chemotherapy resistance. In this review, some suggestions on future studies verifying this concept are also proposed. If our concerns are justified, it might be appropriate in the future to consider this assumption at the stage of deciding whether to undertake PET monitoring in some patients with advanced aggressive cancer.

Published: May 2022

Introduction. Bronchial asthma is a common disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways. Paediatric asthma is still a current problem and children with exacerbation frequently are hospitalized. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of allergic and non-allergic asthma in children hospitalized at the Department of Paediatric Pulmonology and Rheumatology of the University Children’s Hospital in Lublin in 2016-2020, and to analyze the most common allergens associated with allergic asthma.

Materials and methods. The study group consisted of 667 patients, aged 6 to 215 months (average 64 months). The data collected for this retrospective study includes: gender, age, month, quarter of year, and year of hospitalization, type of asthma and type of allergens.

Results. We observed a decrease of hospitalization in the analyzed years: in 2016 – 160 children, and in 2020 – 74. Children with allergic asthma (375 children) were more frequently hospitalized than patients with non-allergic asthma, and we found correlations between age and type of asthma and between age and type of allergy. Non-allergic asthma was observed in the youngest children, while in older children, allergic-asthma dominated. We also observed significant differences in children’s hospitalization depending on the season of the year. The most frequent allergen causing asthma was house dust mites.

Conclusions. The incidence of hospitalizations caused by asthma exacerbation is declining. Among the youngest population, exacerbations of asthma related to respiratory tract infection predominate, while in the older, allergy to inhalation allergens is the main cause.

Published: May 2022

The miniature sensor devices and power-efficient Body Area Networks (BANs) for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) have gained increasing interest in different fields, including Daily Life Assistants (DLAs), medical treatment, sports analysis, etc. The HAR systems normally collect data with wearable sensors and implement the computational tasks with a host machine, where real-time transmission and processing of sensor data raise a challenge for both the network and the host machine. This investigation focuses on the hardware/software co-design for optimized sensing and computing of wearable HAR sensor networks. The contributions include (1) design of a miniature wearable sensor node integrating a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System Inertial Measurement Unit (MEMS IMU) with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in-built Micro-Control Unit (MCU) for unobtrusive wearable sensing; (2) task-centric optimization of the computation by shifting data pre-processing and feature extraction to sensor nodes for in-situ computing, which reduces data transmission and relieves the load of the host machine; (3) optimization and evaluation of classification algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization-based Support Vector Machine (PSO-SVM) and Cross Validation-based K-Nearest Neighbors (CV-KNN) for HAR with the presented techniques. Finally, experimental studies were conducted with two sensor nodes worn on the wrist and elbow to verify the effectiveness of the recognition of 10 virtual handwriting activities, where 10 recruited participants each repeated an activity 5 times. The results demonstrate that the proposed system can implement HAR tasks effectively with an accuracy of 99.20 %.

Published: May 2022

Benign bone tumors represent an important chapter in the pathology of the musculoskeletal system, most commonly affecting young people under the age of 30. The most common benign bone tumors diagnosed in orthopedic surgery are: osteochondroma, osteoid osteoma, osteoblastoma, giant cell tumor, bone aneurysmal cyst, and fibrous dysplasia. An important feature is the lack of secondary determinations.

Depending on the type and the location of the benign bone tumors, treatment can be non-surgical or surgical.

Patients included in the study were between 25 and 55 years old with an average age of 40.

In both cases, the radiological image remains the routine investigation in the periodic postoperative control.

The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical treatment (curettage-filling) with synthetic bone substitute, compared to autograft in patients with benign bone tumors.

Plant derived compounds are drawing attention in curing and treating variety of ailment and diseases. This increase in popularity of natural products has renewed interest in garlic, which has been used by human for centuries. It has been found that garlic pulp contains more than 200 chemical compounds and numerous garlic molecules can still be explored, extracted, synthesized and optimized. As in market various preparations of garlic are available which include tablets made from dried and powdered clove, oils and liquid extracts however, it would also be interesting to explore the effect of different forms of garlic extract on standard drug therapy especially when used as an adjuvant therapy. In this review a report on the pharmaceutical preparation which has used extracted compounds from garlic or its derivatives as a main constituent is compiled, so that it could be useful to increase our knowledge about the therapeutic effect of garlic and could improve our future experimental and chemical plans. We performed a systematic review of literature using term garlic. In this report a comprehensive investigation has been conducted on garlic which includes various scientific aspects about it by which researchers from various disciplines could be directed to put efforts toward discovering the benefits of garlic on human health. Garlic and its extracts had a wide range of applications even against resistant organisms to serve as powerful anti-microbial agent. Therefore, research is needed to refine the pathophysiological mechanisms of action of garlic and its utility in the treatment of various diseases by developing more stable and suitable formulations. The development of Garlic as a commercial anti-biotic has come to a halt. Although its efficiency is scientifically proven, it has only been used as a dietary supplement or traditional medicine.
Anzen mamoru: The Representation of the Japanese Police in Japanese Factual Television
Authors: Pech Matthias
Published: May 2022

This paper is about the representation of the Japanese police in three factual television series. In all three series, the audience accompanies police officers during their work and thus gets a close look at the daily work of the Japanese police. However, even if the series try to convey a feeling of authenticity, staging strategies which aim at the entertainment and education of the audience can be clearly identified. I therefore place them in the intermediate area between the genres of reality TV and documentaries. The research method adopted in this study is Werner Faulstich’s qualitative movie analysis, based on his book Grundkurs Filmanalyse (2013), in combination with a descriptive quantitative approach. In the analysis I ask what kinds of messages about the Japanese police are created in the three series under examination. The major findings can be summarised as follows: the comprehensive image created about the Japanese police is positive. The police force is legitimised above all by its professionalism and success in providing assistance to people in need by arresting criminals and proving their guilt, but also by its monopoly position as the sole competent crisis solver.1 This kind of representation does not come as a surprise as such; the paper, however, will show how this overall positive image is created by specific filmic techniques.
Intercellular interactions and their role in fibrogenesis in chronic hepatitis C
Authors: Karabak I. A. , Karev V. E.
Published: May 2022

Introduction. The development of life-threatening complications in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is based on progressive fibrogenesis. The developing of liver fibrosis is provided by intercellular interactions, first of all, of lymphocytes, macrophages and stellate cells (SC), the patterns of mutual influences of which have not been sufficiently studied at the moment.

The objective was to study the features of intercellular interplay of nonparenchymal liver cells at different histological activity, at different stages of CHC fibrosis, and at different genotypes of the hepatitis C virus (HCV).

Methods and materials. The object of the study was 64 liver biopsies of adult patients with natural course of CHC. Нistological, immunohistochemical and immunohistomorphometric methods were used.

Results. The increasing histological activity is accompanied by an increase in the number and size (area) of CD68 + macrophages and SMA-alfa + SC. Correlation relationships of intercellular interactions at low and moderate histological activity had significant differences. In mild fibrosis, a relationship was found between the number of CD8 + lymphocytes, the number and area of CD68 + macrophages and SMA-alfa + SC. HCV genotype 1 is characterized by a predominance of the interactions between the number of CD8 + lymphocytes, the number and area of CD68 + macrophages in the liver, for genotype 3 – between the number of CD8 + lymphocytes, the number and area of SMA + SC.

Conclusions. The maximum activation of SC and macrophages occurs even with moderate histological activity and persists with an increase. The consolidation of the immunopathological nature of the intercellular interplay between lymphocytes, macrophages and SC occurs at the stage of mild fibrosis. Intercellular interactions have significant differences depending on the HCV genotype, which can determine a poor prognosis of the disease.

Published: May 2022

Introduction. Despite widespread implementation of journal club in medical universities around the world, this activity is lacking in Russia. Currently, there are no publications about the evaluation of journal club at the Russian medical education system as an learning tool and its efficacy.

The objective of this work was to describe the experience of participation in the journal club in order to assess participant’s satisfaction and preliminary efficacy of the meetings as well as to identify opportunities to improve and implement journal club rounds.

Methods and materials. In February–May 2020, we conducted voluntary and anonymous online survey with 14 participants of journal club at Pavlov University. We used semi-structured questionnaire developed by the authors specifically to meet the objectives of the study.

Results. We conducted 7 journal club meetings, of which 6 were online. The total number of completed questionnaires was 10 (out of 66 send by email). We identified several barriers among participants: 1) lack of English knowledge; 2) lack of presentation skills; 3) not sufficient theoretical background. The suggestions for improvement were following: 1) to adapt the debate format and 2) to use the incentives to increase active participation, for example, to provide the extra educational credits which increased student’s rating.

Conclusions. The efficacy of journal club as a learning tool might be increased by providing an additional educational training focused on the research methods, and by the developing the guidelines for helping critically analyzed the scientific paper.

El perfil epidemiológico en adolescentes y jóvenes es alarmante por el carácter prevenible de la morbimortalidad y sus repercusiones. El Consejo Nacional de Población (2010) menciona la importancia de elaborar un diagnóstico de la situación actual y diseñar enfoques de intervención. Se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, descriptiva, con muestra no probabilística por conveniencia, aplicándose el cuestionario YRBSS; se observó que las dimensiones de mayor riesgo fueron sedentarismo, alimentación, consumo de alcohol, conductas sexuales y accidentes de tráfico. Existió una correlación moderada entre el riesgo suicida y la violencia de pareja (r=.583, p=.002), los riesgos a accidentes de tráfico con el consumo de tabaco (r=.435, p=.016) y con el sedentarismo (r=.406, p=.026). Los resultados corroboran la necesidad de identificar las principales conductas de riesgo mediante un diagnóstico integral para brindar las herramientas necesarias y de esa manera disminuir conductas de riesgo que afecten el desarrollo personal, profesional así como su entorno familiar y social.Palabras clave: conductas; riesgo; adolescentes; diagnóstico; violencia AbstractThe epidemiological profile in adolescents and young people is alarming because of the preventable nature of morbidity and mortality and their repercussions. The National Population Council (2010) mentions the importance of preparing a diagnosis of the current situation and designing intervention approaches. A quantitative, descriptive investigation was carried out, with a non-probabilistic sample for convenience, applying the YRBSS questionnaire; it was observed that the dimensions of greatest risk were sedentary lifestyle, food, alcohol consumption, sexual behaviors and traffic accidents. There was a moderate correlation between suicide risk and intimate partner violence (r =.583, p =.002), risks to traffic accidents with tobacco consumption (r =.435, p =.016) and sedentary lifestyle (r =.406, p =.026). The results corroborate the need to identify the main risk behaviors through a comprehensive diagnosis to provide the necessary tools and thus reduce risk behaviors that affect personal, professional development as well as their family and social environment. Keywords: behavior; risk; adolescents; diagnosis; violence

Objetivo: se asoció un tamizaje de CAR con PIC, CC y formación de licenciatura. Materiales y métodos: estudio transversal donde se midió peso, talla, CC, PIC y se aplicó un tamizaje de CAR. Resultados: La muestra fue conformada por 91 estudiantes de diferentes licenciaturas de nuevo ingreso, el 65% fueron mujeres. El 9.3 y 5% de mujeres y hombres respectivamente presentaron CAR. Al aplicar la prueba de percepción corporal, 25.2 de los sujetos presentaron una percepción errónea de su imagen corporal, sin asociarse al porcentaje de masa grasa o CAR. Conclusiones: no hubo diferencias en la prevalencia de CAR por licenciatura.Palabras clave: composición corporal; percepción de la imagen corporal; conductas alimentarias de riesgo; universidad; nutrición AbstractThe presence of risk eating behaviors (REB) such as fasting or taking pills has increased its prevalence among the young adult population.

La alfabetización en salud se relaciona con las habilidades de las personas para emplear la información en salud y tomar decisiones en la atención y el cuidado sanitario, la prevención de enfermedades y la promoción de la salud durante la vida. La comunidad universitaria desempeña un papel importante en la sociedad, pudiendo influir directamente en las prácticas y actitudes de la alfabetización en salud. Se midió el nivel de alfabetización en salud de 22 estudiantes de la Universidad Veracruzana mediante la encuesta versión en español del European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire HLS-EU-Q-47, compuesta por 47 ítems evaluados en una escala de Likert. Se observó que el 27% de los estudiantes tiene un nivel insuficiente de alfabetización en salud. Los resultados señalan la necesidad de implementar estrategias de promoción de la salud que contribuyan a mejorarlos; asimismo, se recomiendan futuras investigaciones que involucren otras variables de estudio.Palabras clave: Alfabetización en salud; estudiantes universitarios; promoción de la salud; universidad saludable; Veracruz AbstractHealth literacy relates to the skills of people to use health information and make decisions in the care and health care, disease prevention and health promotion during life.

Algunas claves para la atención de estudiantes y la formación integral
Authors: Rodríguez Audirac Leticia
Published: May 2022

La formación integral pretendida por la Universidad Veracruzana ha demandado un complejo trabajo de la institución al que han ido integrándose cada vez más académicos, entidades, dependencias administrativas y de apoyo. También han sido creados programas y dependencias específicas para coordinar nuevas tareas que contempla la formación integral. Sin embargo, lo anterior parece no ser suficiente cuando consideramos que la atención integral al estudiante no es tal si se ignoran los problemas que a un elevado número de ellos afectan y ocasionan su deserción. Presentamos aquí algunas reflexiones sobre la formación integral en la UV, sobre su esquema de atención, y sobre aquellas áreas de la universidad que están dedicadas a ofrecer programas y actividades que participan en el desarrollo del estudiante, para ubicar en ese contexto la función del Centro para el Desarrollo Humano e Integral de los Universitarios, CEnDHIU y sugerir las posibilidades de articulación con el sistema institucional de tutorías y con otras entidades que, realizan tareas afines a las del CEnDHIU, de manera que se amplíen los servicios de atención integral a los estudiantes y se contribuya a disminuir la deserción.Palabras clave: : Formación integral, trayectoria escolar, deserción.
