Scapular muscle pain is common among individuals who engage in prolonged video gaming sessions. Poor posture, repetitive movements, and extended screen time contribute to musculoskeletal discomfort, particularly in the muscles surrounding the scapula. With the rise in Esports and video gaming as a primary source of entertainment, there is a growing need to understand the prevalence and impact of scapular muscle pain among gamers. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of scapular muscle pain among video gamers in Rawalpindi and Islamabad and to investigate the impact of this pain on gaming performance and quality of life. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted over six months in various gaming centers, communities, and universities in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. 100 male video gamers aged 15 to 40 were selected using non-probability convenience sampling. Pain and functional limitations were measured using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and Scapular Assistance Test. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Most participants (86%) were aged 15-25 years, with gaming hours ranging from 3-7 hours per day. Pain intensity assessment revealed that 59% of participants experienced moderate pain, while 8% reported severe pain. SPADI results indicated that 56% of gamers had very severe pain and disability. The Scapular Assistance Test showed that 68% of participants tested positive, indicating the presence of scapular muscle pain. Scapular muscle pain is prevalent among video gamers in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, particularly younger gamers who engage in prolonged gaming sessions. The study highlights the need for interventions to address poor posture and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal issues in this population.

Children with socioeconomic vulnerability and underlying health conditions are at an increased risk of developmental delays. This study aimed to assess the development of children aged 0 to 5 years enrolled in a State Center for Specialized Care, identify potential factors associated with each child's developmental status, and implement and evaluate the impact of a developmental stimulation protocol, targeting the children's caregivers. A total of 117 children (50.3% male and 49.7% female), aged 0 to 5 years, were included in the study. Their racial/ethnic distribution was as follows: 33.1% White, 50.8% Mixed-race, and 16.1% Black. Developmental assessments were conducted, and stimulation interventions (based on the Denver Developmental Screening Test) were concurrently proposed to the parents. A significant proportion (52.13%) of the children met the criteria for probable developmental delay. Language development was the most affected area, followed by gross motor function. After the initial intervention, the prevalence of children in the probable delay group decreased to 14.41%. Early promotion of child development demonstrated effectiveness in improving the short-term development of socially disadvantaged children with comorbidities.

Published: December 2024

Yogurt is a popular dairy product known for its flavor and nutritional value. Consumer acceptance of yogurt depends largely on its structural integrity, sensory properties, and rheological behavior, and certain additives are necessary to improve its texture. Natural skimmed yogurt, due to its low-fat composition, has a manufacturing defect reflected in the texture and runniness of the product, increasing the need for thickeners and stabilizers to give the product the desired appearance and texture. Alternative sources of stabilizers/thickeners have been tested to offer a viable additive for use. Thus, this study aimed to propose a yogurt formulated with mannan polysaccharide produced by the yeast K. marxianus, to evaluate its ability to improve the technological and functional properties of the product. Formulations were tested with mannan concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.5%. The result shows that the yogurt formulated with 0.1% ɑ-D-mannan exhibits better rheological characteristics. The analysis of the product during the 30-day storage period showed that the product prepared maintained its adequate texture, physicochemical and microbiological characteristics. Thus, the mannan produced by K. marxianus proved to be a possible thickener and stabilizer to be used in the food industry, mainly in the formulation of yogurt.

Published: December 2024

The present study uses a quasi-experimental design to assess the effectiveness of the Rotation Model (RM) on English as a Second Language (ESL) learners’ writing errors among undergraduate students. Few studies have focused on ESL learners' writing errors in inflectional suffixation. To address this gap, the current study investigates the effect of the Rotation Model on ESL learners' writing errors in inflectional suffixation within the Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) framework. The study has collected data from 132 participants. They were divided into two groups. The first group serves as the experimental group (N=66). The experimental group undergoes an intervention through the Rotation Model to improve English writing.  The second group is the Control group (N=66). The control received instruction through the grammar-translation method.) Data were collected using pretests and posttests from both groups on two different pictures. The data were analyzed using paired t-tests on SPSS. The analysis revealed that the ESL learners in the experimental group improved their writing by minimizing errors related to inflectional suffixation more than the control group. These findings suggest that the Rotation Model effectively enhances the accuracy of ESL learners' use of inflectional suffixes. The implications of these results underscore the potential of RM as a superior instructional approach over traditional methods in ESL contexts, particularly for complex grammatical structures such as inflectional suffixation.

Published: December 2024

This paper presents wind tunnel data on the aerodynamic characteristics of a NACA4424 airfoil operating under low Reynolds number flow conditions (∼ Re = 2 × 105). The study investigates the lift, drag, and stall behavior of the airfoil, which are critical for applications in engineering such as small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and micro air vehicles (MAVs). Experimental data were collected through wind tunnel testing across various angles of attack at a fixed Reynolds number.To provide further insight, the experimental results are complemented by XFOIL simulations, which illustrate the impact of low Reynolds number conditions on aerodynamic performance. These findings enhance the understanding of airfoil behavior in low Reynolds number regimes and support the design and optimization of efficient airfoil profiles for small-scale aerial systems.
Grünwald-Letnikov Fractional Derivative Applied to First-Order Ordinary Differential Equations
Authors: Willian Scotton Jaque
Published: December 2024

First-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are widely used in various fields of science and engineering to model natural phenomena. This study proposes an extension of these equations using fractional derivatives, specifically the Grünwald-Letnikov definition, to explore their impact on the behavior of solution curves. The fractional ODE considered is discretized using the finite difference method and solved numerically for different values of the derivative order (α). Tests were conducted to verify mesh independence and the quality of the computational implementation of the method, through which the accuracy and the absence of implementation errors were confirmed. The behavior of the solution curves for different values of α was analyzed, revealing a sharp decrease near the initial point (t = 0) and an almost linear growth at higher values of t, within the considered domain. Additionally, in solving a specific initial value problem with a known analytical solution, it was discovered that the accuracy of the numerical solutions for higher values of α was more dependent on the mesh refinement than the solutions for lower values.

This concept cannot yet be a universal measure of human development. The Islamic human development index (I-HDI) is here to offer a concept for measuring human development based on maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah. The research aims to analyze economic growth in mediating the influence of government spending on the education, health, and social sectors, open unemployment, and consumption patterns on I-HDI and HDI. The research results of government spending on the education, health, and social sectors as well as consumption patterns is positive and significant, while economic growth and the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) have a positive but not significant effect on I-HDI. Meanwhile, government spending on the health sector, social sector, and consumption patterns have a positive and significant effect, government spending on the education sector has a negative and insignificant effect, and economic growth and TPT have a positive and insignificant effect on HDI. The magnitude of the direct influence on IHDI is 53.04 percent and on HDI is 59.71 percent. Economic growth as an intervening variable is unable to mediate the influence of government spending on the education sector, government spending on the health sector, government spending on the social sector, TPT, and consumption on I-HDI and HDI.

Authors: Waqi'atul Aqidah
Published: December 2024

This research aims to analyze the dynamics of productivity and fluctuations in shallot prices in Kecamatan Pajarakan, Kabupaten Probolinggo. The method of this research is qualitative method. Data collection was carried out using interviews, observation, and documentation methods. Data analysis techniques include data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusion. The results of this research show that the productivity of shallots produced by farmers is fluctuating dynamic, although in the last few months of 2023 there is an upward trend. This dynamic cause by weather change, pest and disease attacks, plant care and maintenance, and capital adequacy. In line of this, fluctuations in the price of shallots on the market are also quite high. This is due to several factors, namely consumer demand, stock supplies at traders, offers from farmers, the big harvest momet, and the presence of supplies from other sources. The mechanism for determining shallot prices is formed directly in the market. As per the perspective of Islamic Economics in Al Ghazali’s thought, it is called “natural order”, without any intervention by upholding the principles of pleasure, healthy competition, openness and honesty

Published: December 2024

Fasciolosis is a major parasite infestation in ruminant livestock that causes public health issues and large financial losses for livestock businesses worldwide. Although additional species have been reported within the genus Fasciola, Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica have been acknowledged taxonomically as the primary causes of fasciolosis in animals and humans. However, it is limiting to differentiate the two isolates based on morphological features only. Identification and characterization using molecular techniques are important. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect and amplify 500 bp mitochondrial Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit 1 (COX1), 420 bp NADH Dehydrogenase Subunit 1 (NAD1), and 1100 bp nuclear ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS) regions of the adult Fasciola samples from the bile ducts of the infected liver. PCR, multiple sequence alignment, and phylogenetic tree reconstruction confirmed the presence of Fasciola gigantica and further confirmed the species. All the sequences phylogenetically cluster in F. gigantica clade for COX1, NAD1, and ITS-2 genes. The level of diversity in mitochondrial COX1 and NAD1 genes was significantly higher than that in the nuclear ITS region. The multiple sequence alignment also revealed genetic sites that can be employed to distinguish F. gigantica from other species. All sequenced Fasciola isolates from Ibadan were identified as Fasciola gigantica. Sequence analysis revealed relatedness between isolates from Nigeria and sub-Saharan countries. Molecular techniques are very important and reliable in the diagnosis of parasitic diseases. This will help not only differentiate between F. gigantica and F. hepatica, but also distinguish these from other related Fasciola species, and endemic from imported species.
The Influence of Reflective Screen Color and Surface Film Treatment for Single-Sided Holographic Projection on Imaging Quality
Authors: Chan Shihchien
Published: December 2024

This study explored the effects of reflective screen material color and film treatment in holographic projection on image quality. Employing an experimental approach, algorithmic analysis of images captured after projection was conducted to examine image quality. Image analysis was performed using OpenCV software, focusing on quantifying values of average color (RGB), contrast, sharpness, and saturation. The results revealed that changes in the reflective screen material color led to a decrease in average RGB values, by approximately 50%, compared with the transparent colorless screen. A light brown colored material demonstrated more satisfactory sharpness performance compared with the transparent colorless and black color screens. However, differences in contrast and saturation among different colored screens were not particularly noticeable. Regarding film treatment, a decrease in average RGB values for black and dark silver surface films was observed. However, light black and dark silver surface films showed a significant improvement in sharpness. Differences in contrast were not pronounced, and saturation slightly increased after film treatment. The experimental findings further showed that as the thickness of the reflective screen increased, ghosting and blurring became more noticeable at image edges. Nevertheless, tinted materials and film treatment reduced ghosting and blurring. Film treatment with low light transmittance increased surface reflectivity, which resulted in a glare effect around the images on the reflective screen, affecting the viewing experience. The results of this research may be helpful for understanding image qualities and the setting up of holographic projection reflective screens.

In this paper, the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) flow modeling technique is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. In this, the effect of the stress components from the small structures is modeled by the Smagorinsky flow model. This mathematical model is used for the flow through a square cylinder at two different Reynolds number conditions Re = 400 and Re = 22,000. The computed results of the average flow and the features of the multi-dynamic components are compared with the results obtained from the DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) method and the k-ε model, demonstrating the benefits of this method. Simultaneously, these results also align well with the experimental results at the same Reynolds number conditions.

Published: December 2024

Many environment have limited bioavailable iron, which leads to a variety of response strategies aimed at maintaining iron homeostasis Microorganisms, in particular, have specialized iron uptake system and frequently coordinate the synthesis and up take of iron with other cellular function like motility and biofilm formation. Microorganism produce and release low – molecular – weight compounds called siderophores in to the extracellular medium. these chelators have a high affinity and selectivity for Fe(III), making them a crucial component of an iron acquisition strategy. Sidrophores are often characterized as low – molecular – mass substances that chelate iron. Siderophores are more attracted to ferric iron than the majority of proteins. Through their role as iron-complexing ligands, they scavenge available iron and create a very stable ferric ion complex. This complex is know as Fe-siderophores complex or siderophores –iron ion complex.even if the precursor iron is present below the solubility limit, these siderophores –iron complex can stay in solution because they more soluble. Bacteria siderophres will be classified according to their chemical structure, including hydroxycarboxylates, hydroxamic acids, mixed ligands/hydroxamic acids, catecholates/metabolites, and keto acids/chelated metabolites, as well as their source, including surface-associated chelators on the bacterial envelope and released chelators. Example of siderophores Enterobactin it synthesized by Enterobacteriaceae and Pyoverdine produced by Pseudomonas species. bacteria siderophores have many application in several field, they have important role in bioremediation by removing heavy metal from environment and detection dissolving deleterious drugs and contaminants and in medical care, it help to killing or inhibiting pathogenic bacteria through strategies that limit iron acquisition within the host also as in agriculture it support plant growth via availability of iron that help of development and nutrition it.

O trabalho aborda a pobreza menstrual, situação experimentada por pessoas que menstruam e não possuem condições básicas de acesso a produtos de higiene, de infraestrutura sanitária adequada e de conhecimento acerca do tema. Tais mecanismos são essenciais e a sua ausência pode afetar negativamente a vida de mulheres, homens trans, pessoas não binárias e intersexo, de forma que sentem diretamente a negligência e inviabilidade de diversos direitos e garantias fundamentais, como a saúde, lazer, educação, trabalho e dignidade da pessoa humana. Segundo os objetivos, esta pesquisa é classificada como exploratória, visando o aprofundamento do conteúdo, baseada em levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema, com utilização de livros, revistas, jornais e legislação. A pesquisa segue o procedimento monográfico, com aplicação do método dedutivo e, em relação aos resultados, classifica-se como qualitativa. Conclui-se que a precariedade menstrual está associada aos tabus e estigmas que são perpetuados pela sociedade, bem como à falta dos recursos supracitados e que o Estado deve implementar políticas públicas que sejam capazes de solucionar ou amenizar o impasse, com incentivos fiscais, políticas de conscientização e distribuição gratuita de absorventes e produtos higiênicos.

Las enfermedades cardiovasculares representan la principal causa de morbimortalidad en el siglo XXI, siendo la arterioesclerosis un factor de riesgo clave en su génesis. Este proceso, que inicia desde el nacimiento, progresa de manera ascendente con el tiempo, influido por estilos de vida no saludables y la adición de factores de riesgo, muchos de ellos modificables a través de medidas de promoción y prevención en salud. Estas enfermedades, comunes al síndrome de cardiopatía isquémica, conforman un grupo heterogéneo de entidades con diversos niveles de gravedad. Todas comparten un impacto significativo en la calidad de vida del paciente, siendo el paro cardiorrespiratorio, el edema agudo de pulmón y el infarto agudo de miocardio las principales causas de mortalidad, incluso en entornos hospitalarios. En particular, el paro cardiorrespiratorio se presenta como la urgencia médica más grave y dramática, con una alta tasa de mortalidad, especialmente fuera de las unidades de cuidados intensivos, donde solo uno de cada seis pacientes sobrevive. El tiempo de intervención es crucial para el éxito en el manejo de estas emergencias, considerando que más de la mitad de los casos de muerte súbita tienen una etiología cardiovascular. Por lo tanto, un conocimiento amplio y preciso por parte del médico es esencial para garantizar una respuesta efectiva y mantener una cadena de supervivencia adecuada.

A személy halála a posztmodernben
Authors: Sütő Zoltán
Published: December 2024

Amennyiben a személy fogalmának jelenlegi értelmezését, illetve jövőbeli lehetőségeit meg
akarjuk határozni, úgy érdemes kultúrtörténeti környezetében vizsgálni folyamatos
jelentésváltozását. A jelentésváltozás folyamatának vizsgálatához viszont elengedhetetlen egy
adott kor, valamint az ókortól egységes fejlődési ívet leíró európai kultúra
gondolkodásstruktúrájában, a fogalomról és az emberről mint önreflexiója tárgyáról alkotott
fogalmának vizsgálata. A teljes folyamat megértése vezethet el a posztmodern megértéséhez, és
ahhoz, ami a posztmodern után következhet.
Gép és ember viszonyának szemléleti kérdései
Authors: Sütő Zoltán
Published: December 2024

A személy fogalma, mint az ember absztrakt önreflexiója, a mesterséges intelligencia korában
a jelenlegi értelmezéséhez képest bizonyosan változni fog. Ennek a változásnak az eredményére
vonatkozóan csak korlátozott, de irányára vonatkozóan megbízható megállapításokat tehetünk,
amennyiben figyelembe vesszük a különböző kultúrák világképében adekvátan
megfogalmazható és megfogalmazott személyfogalmat. Az európai kultúrát tekintve
a személyfogalom a szakrális értelmezésből indulva, a posztmodernben a személyfogalom
dekonstrukciójáig jut el, aminek oka, hogy a posztmodern világképben a személy nem egyéb, mint
narratívák konstrukciója. A folyamat az ember személytelenedéseként értelmezhető, s mint
ilyen, ez az irány gondolható továbbra is következetesnek. Erre különösen a megalapozott
transzhumanista elképzelések engednek következtetni.
