Authors: Hassan Zainab , Kanwal Ayesha , Faisal Somia , Mushtaq Faiqa , Jabbar Muhammad , Chand Mishal , Hussain Syed Ali
Published: January 2024

Background:
Previous studies have indicated that wearing high-heeled shoes (HHS) may be associated with foot and low back pain and could potentially affect the physical activity levels of women. The impact of HHS on musculoskeletal discomfort, fatigue, and biomechanical alterations has been substantiated, albeit with varying conclusions regarding their influence on physical activity and health.
Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the level of physical activity among working females who regularly wear HHS and to determine any associations with musculoskeletal discomfort.
Methods:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 125 participants recruited from various malls in Lahore using non-probability convenience sampling. The inclusion criteria encompassed adult females aged between 19 to 44 years, wearing heels of varying types and heights for a minimum of six hours per day. Exclusion criteria included a history of ankle dislocation, foot surgery, orthopedic or neurological anomalies, systemic illness affecting physical activity, or flat feet. Physical activity levels were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short-form (IPAQ-sf), and data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.
Results:
The average age of participants was 25.14 years with a standard deviation of 4.509. The mean physical activity level was 1615.33 METs with a standard deviation of 1065.15. The majority of participants (54.4%) displayed a moderate level of physical activity, while 29.6% were categorized with low and 16% with high levels of physical activity. No significant correlation was found between heel height and physical activity levels or musculoskeletal discomfort.
Conclusion:
 Working females wearing high heels predominantly exhibit moderate levels of physical activity. The lack of significant associations suggests that heel height does not directly correlate with reduced physical activity or increased musculoskeletal discomfort in this sample. These findings highlight the complexity of factors influencing physical activity and musculoskeletal health in the context of HHS use.

Authors: Burhan Muhammad , Alam Muhammad Mahmood , Akhtar Muhammad Waseem , Perwaiz Saadia , Gul Muhammad Mustafa , Ghaffar Abdul
Published: January 2024

Background: Balance is a critical component of human movement and stability, particularly in young adults. The relationship between hip muscle strength and dynamic postural control, as measured by the Y Balance Test (YBT), has been the subject of various studies, yet the extent of this correlation remains not fully understood.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the variation in dynamic postural control with hip strength deficits in young adults. It sought to understand the correlation between hip muscle strength and dynamic balance, as well as to explore gender differences in balance performance.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 60 medical students from Akhtar Saeed Medical and Dental College, Lahore, aged 18-35 years. Participants with no lower extremity ailments or general health issues were included. The Y Balance Test and Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) were used for data collection. Strength was graded manually, and balance was assessed through the YBT, which involved forward, medial backward, and lateral backward movements. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0, with the Mann-Whitney U test applied to assess significant differences.
Results: The study revealed significant gender differences in YBT scores, with males showing greater composite reach distances in both dominant (Mean Rank: Males = 46.05, Females = 23.29, P = .00) and non-dominant sides (Mean Rank: Males = 44.95, Females = 23.80, P = .00). However, no significant differences were observed in the YBT scores across grades 4 and 5 in various hip muscle groups (P > 0.05 in all comparisons).
Conclusion: The study confirms significant gender differences in dynamic postural control but does not establish a strong correlation between hip muscle strength and balance performance. These findings suggest that other factors, such as training and physical attributes, may play a more significant role in balance. This research contributes to the understanding of balance dynamics in young adults and can guide the development of targeted training and rehabilitation programs.

The expedited and exclusive formation method has faced criticism about its lack of transparency and regulatory standards. Further examination of the legal foundation and conformity with the constitution is necessary to guarantee adherence and prevent infringements on human rights. To ensure the creation of a high-quality omnibus bill that adheres to legal principles, it is imperative to enhance openness, encourage public engagement, and engage experts. Sociologically, the effects on workers and entrepreneurs are diverse, encompassing the possibility of heightened investment and employment, as well as the possible drawbacks of reduced wages, the elimination of severance compensation, and more outsourcing. There is concern that social inequality may escalate as businesses might receive more advantages in comparison to workers. The omnibus law holds the capacity to allure investments, foster economic expansion, and enhance Indonesia's competitiveness by means of deregulation and improved business facilitation. Striking a balance between economic growth, worker protection, and environmental sustainability is crucial. Thorough examination and rigorous oversight of the enforcement of environmental legislation are important to maintain a harmonious equilibrium between economic progress and environmental conservation.

Stunting adalah masalah gizi kronis pada balita yang ditandai dengan tinggi badan yang lebih pendek dibandingkan anak seusianya. Stunting pada balita perlu menjadi perhatian khsusus karena dapat menghambat perkembangan fisik dan mental balita. Faktor yang mempengaurhi terjadinya masalah kekurangan gizi pada anak balita adalah buruknya pola asuh terutama pemberian makan dan pemberian ASI eksklusif. Pola asuh ibu yang kurang atau rendah memiliki peluang lebih besar balita terkena stunting dibandingkan orang tua dengan pola asuh baik. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan pola asuh ibu dalam pemberian makan dengan kejadian stunting pada balita usia 24-59 bulan. Jenis penelitian menggunakan korelasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi sebanyak 543 dengan sampel sebanyak 230 responden menggunakan teknik proposional random sampling. Hasil uji validitas pada variabel pola asuh terdapat 4 item pernyataan tidak valid. Adapun hasil uji reliabilitas sebesar 0,776 termasuk reliabel kuat. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar responden memiliki pola asuh dalam pemberian makan yaitu baik sebanyak 183 orang (79,6%), dan pada kejadian stunting menunjukan bahwa sebagian besar balita memiliki tinggi badan normal sebanyak 150 orang (65,2%). Terdapat hubungan pola asuh ibu dalam pemberian makan dengan kejadian stunting pada balita usia 24-59 bulan di Desa Buniwangi Kabupaten Sukabumi dengan nilai p-value 0,034 (p<0,05). Diharapkan penelitian ini dapat dijadikan dijadikan sebagai referensi untuk kegiatan inovasi program gizi di puskesmas yaitu Genting Padu (Gerakan penanganan genting terpadu). Dimana didalam inovasi ini ada salah satu kegiatan Kapanting (Kader Pemantau Stanting) dimana kader-kader memantau tumbuh kembang anak yang mengalami stunting sesuai dengan posyandunya.

According to WHO (2019) Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects 20 million people worldwide. Schizophrenia is characterized by distortions in thinking, perception, emotions, language, sense of self, and behavior. The act of nursing to treat patients with hallucinations is the application of implementation strategies for either the individual or the family. The intervention carried out in this study is a family implementation strategy. The family implementation strategy is one of the interventions given to families who care for hallucinatory patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the description of the application of family implementation strategies to the family's ability to treat hallucinatory patients. Based on data from the research site, namely at the Cikoneng Health Center, there were 84 people who experienced mental disorders. This type of research uses a qualitative design with a case study approach to explore nursing problems and client and family problem solving techniques, by making observations and carrying out actions to provide family implementation strategies and evaluating the results of observation actions into the form of descriptive narratives. This study required 2 subjects to be studied for comparison after the action, the study was carried out from April 7 to April 14, 2022, each subject was visited for 4 days, both subjects were equally treating vision hallucination patients. The assessment of the subject's ability was assessed using the family ability instrument, and there was a change in the patient's family ability before and after being given a family implementation strategy. The results of this study can be concluded that there is an influence of the application of family implementation strategies on the family's ability to treat hallucinatory patients. The advice for researchers is to further examine family implementation strategies with a longer time to improve family abilities more effectively so that the patient's chances of being controlled are better.

Evaluation of PV performance is important as a development in supporting the government’s program to increase the renewable energy mix to reach 23% in 2025. This study aims to analyze the performance of thin film vs monocrystalline PV which has been operating in tropical areas in Jakarta. Then thin film and monocrystalline PV were simulated using PVsyst. Evaluation is carried out through a performance ratio analysis approach and the value of the degradation rate. The performance of thin film PV was 5% close to the simulation result but not for the monocrystalline silicon. The degradation rates for thin-film and mono-si were 0.93% and 2.07%, respectively. The degradation rates of PV are comparable to other studies that have been conducted in other countries with similar climates. Such a degradation rate value reduces the economic value of PV where the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) value obtained decreases for thin films by 25% while for monocrystalline would change by 77%.
