(1) Background: Clinical presentation, disease distribution, or treatment received may provide insights into the reasons contributing to sex differences in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). (2) Methods: We evaluated 453 patients (56% women) between 2007–2019. Data was collected from REHAP (Registro Español de Hipertensión Arterial Pulmonar) registry. Two time periods were selected to evaluate the influence of new treatments over time. (3) Results: Women were older. Baseline functional class was worse, and distance walked shorter in women compared with men. Women had higher pulmonary vascular resistances. Despite this, pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) was carried out in more men, and women received more frequently pulmonary vasodilators exclusively. The 2014–2019 interval was associated with a better survival only among women. Interestingly, women had a more distal disease during this second period of time. (4) Conclusions: Even though women were older, and received invasive treatments less frequently, mortality was similar in both sexes. The introduction of balloon pulmonary angioplasty and the improvement of pulmonary endarterectomy, especially during the last years, could be associated with a survival benefit among women.

Objective: To determine the effects of dry needling (DN) in active myofascial trigger points in the teres major muscle compared to an untreated control group in pain during throwing actions, shoulder range of motion (ROM), strength, and extensibility of the tissues in professional handball (HB) athletes. Methods: A randomised, single-blinded, controlled clinical trial was designed. Thirty HB athletes with shoulder pain were randomly assigned to the DN group (n = 15) or control group (n = 15). The DN group received a single session of ultrasound-guided DN technique in the teres major muscle. The control group received no intervention. Pain intensity during throwing actions (Numeric Pain Rating Score), shoulder ROM (inclinometer), isometric strength (hand-held dynamometer), and extensibility (inclinometer) were measured before and after treatment. Results: DN group showed statistically significant improvements with large effect sizes for pain intensity (p < 0.001; E.S: 1.3), internal rotation ROM (p < 0.001; E.S: 3.0) and extensibility (p < 0.001; E.S: 2.9) compared to the control group. No statistically significant differences were found for isometric strength (p > 0.05). Conclusion: A single session of DN in the teres major muscle was effective for improving pain intensity during throwing actions, internal rotation ROM and extensibility in HB athletes with shoulder pain.
Body Image in Borderline Personality Disorder: A Systematic Review of the Emerging Empirical Literature
Authors: Wayda-Zalewska Magdalena , Kostecka Barbara , Kucharska Katarzyna
Published: September 2021

As an element of distorted self-image, body image disturbances may be relevant to borderline personality disorder (BPD). Therefore, this systematic review aims to critically discuss and summarize empirical findings in this matter. Based on the available theoretical models, three body image components were identified: (a) perception, (b) affect and cognition, and (c) general body dissatisfaction. We conducted a systematic search of the empirical literature published in English in the MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases until June 2021 using a priori eligibility criteria (BPD; BPD symptoms or features in nonclinical groups; quasipsychotic or psychotic symptoms were not considered). We included k = 10 records meeting the criteria. Compared with other analyzed groups, individuals diagnosed with BPD obtained higher scores in the three components of body image disturbances. The issue of body image in BPD is relatively understudied, although current research findings clearly indicate disturbances in all of the abovementioned body image components in individuals with BPD or significant relationships of these components with BPD traits or symptoms both in clinical and nonclinical samples. Eventually, possible practical implications and future research directions are also discussed.

Published: September 2021

The objective of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of a three-week Whole-Body Vibration (WBV) training on the vascular blood flow of the lower limbs in children with myelomeningocele. The secondary goal was to evaluate the effect of WBV on the ROM of lower limb joints in this population. A total of 30 children with MMC (7–16 years old) were enrolled in the study. Children were randomly allocated to two groups of equal numbers, using an envelope code. The experimental group underwent a 3-week WBV training, while the control group received a 3-week conventional physiotherapy (PT) program. The examination consisted of two parts: (1) Doppler USG examination of the lower limb vascular blood flow; (2) evaluation of ROM. The results obtained revealed three main findings. First, WBV training effectively improved blood flow by increasing flow velocities in all tested arteries, while the impact of the PT program was limited to a single parameter. Second, WBV training effectively improved vascular resistance in arteries of the lower legs, while the PT program did not achieve any significant differences. Third, both types of treatment intervention significantly improved ROM in all joints of the lower limbs in MMC participants.

(1) Background: Neutropenic enterocolitis (NEC) is a life-threatening complication following chemotherapy with high mortality rates. Early diagnosis is crucial to improve outcomes. We designed a large prospective study employing bedside ultrasonography (US) as a novel approach to allow early diagnosis and prompt treatment to reduce mortality. (2) Methods: NEC was defined as US or computed tomography (CT)-proven bowel wall thickness ≥ 4 mm at the onset of at least one of the following symptoms: fever and/or abdominal pain and/or diarrhea during neutropenia. From 2007 to 2018, 1754 consecutive patients underwent baseline bedside US that was invariably repeated within 12 h from the onset of symptom(s) suggestive of NEC. (3) Results: Overall, 117 episodes of NEC were observed, and overall mortality was 9.4%. Bowel wall thickening was invariably absent in the negative control group. Abdominal pain associated with one or more symptoms correlated with the highest relative risk (17.33), sensitivity (89.7%), specificity (100%), and accuracy (96.2%) for diagnosis. The combination of abdominal pain and fever at onset significantly correlated with worse survival (p < 0.0001, OR 13.85). BWT (p = 0.046), type of therapy (p = 0.049) and blood culture positivity (p = 0.003) correlated with worse survival. (4) Conclusions: Bedside ultrasound is a non-invasive and radiation free imaging technique for early diagnosis of NEC and its prompt treatment significantly reduced mortality.

Background: There has been an exponential growth in the use of advanced technologies for three-dimensional (3D) virtual pre- and intra-operative planning of pelvic ring injury surgery but potential benefits remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate differences in intra- and post-operative results between 3D and conventional (2D) surgery. Methods: A systematic review was performed including published studies between 1 January 2010 and 22 May 2020 on all available 3D techniques in pelvic ring injury surgery. Studies were assessed for their methodological quality according to the Modified McMaster Critical Review form. Differences in operation time, blood loss, fluoroscopy time, screw malposition rate, fracture reduction and functional outcome between 3D-assisted and conventional (2D) pelvic injury treatment were evaluated and a best-evidence synthesis was performed. Results: Eighteen studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria, evaluating a total of 988 patients. Overall quality was moderate. Regarding intra-operative results of 3D-assisted versus conventional surgery: The weighted mean operation time per screw was 43 min versus 52 min; for overall operation time 126 min versus 141 min; blood loss 275 ± 197 mL versus 549 ± 404 mL; fluoroscopy time 74 s versus 125 s and fluoroscopy frequency 29 ± 4 versus 63 ± 3. In terms of post-operative outcomes of 3D-assisted versus conventional surgery: weighted mean screw malposition rate was 8% versus 18%; quality of fracture reduction measured by the total excellent/good rate by Matta was 86% versus 82% and Majeed excellent/good rate 88% versus 83%. Conclusion: The 3D-assisted surgery technologies seem to have a positive effect on operation time, blood loss, fluoroscopy dose, time and frequency as well as accuracy of screw placement. No improvement in clinical outcome in terms of fracture reduction and functional outcome has been established so far. Due to a wide range of methodological quality and heterogeneity between the included studies, results should be interpreted with caution.
Secreted Effectors Modulating Immune Responses to Toxoplasma gondii
Authors: Tomita Tadakimi , Guevara Rebekah B. , Shah Lamisha M. , Afrifa Andrews Y. , Weiss Louis M.
Published: September 2021

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that chronically infects a third of humans. It can cause life-threatening encephalitis in immune-compromised individuals. Congenital infection also results in blindness and intellectual disabilities. In the intracellular milieu, parasites encounter various immunological effectors that have been shaped to limit parasite infection. Parasites not only have to suppress these anti-parasitic inflammatory responses but also ensure the host organism’s survival until their subsequent transmission. Recent advancements in T. gondii research have revealed a plethora of parasite-secreted proteins that suppress as well as activate immune responses. This mini-review will comprehensively examine each secreted immunomodulatory effector based on the location of their actions. The first section is focused on secreted effectors that localize to the parasitophorous vacuole membrane, the interface between the parasites and the host cytoplasm. Murine hosts are equipped with potent IFNγ-induced immune-related GTPases, and various parasite effectors subvert these to prevent parasite elimination. The second section examines several cytoplasmic and ER effectors, including a recently described function for matrix antigen 1 (MAG1) as a secreted effector. The third section covers the repertoire of nuclear effectors that hijack transcription factors and epigenetic repressors that alter gene expression. The last section focuses on the translocation of dense-granule effectors and effectors in the setting of T. gondii tissue cysts (the bradyzoite parasitophorous vacuole).
EL DESAHOGO DE LA PRUEBA PERICIAL EN EL JUICIO ORAL MERCANTIL
Authors: León-Martínez Daniel
Published: September 2021

El presente artículo aborda la reforma 2017 al Código de Comercio, en lo atinente al juicio oral mercantil, respecto del desahogo de la prueba pericial, debido a que, desde que se implementó este procedimiento el 27 de enero de 2011 (DOF), indicaba que la prueba pericial de ser admitida en la audiencia preliminar, se concedería un plazo de 10 días para exhibir el dictamen y de ser contradictorios los exhibidos por los peritos de las partes, se designaría un perito tercero en discordia, el cual exhibiría su dictamen en la audiencia de juicio y en esta audiencia quedaba desahogado la prueba pericial, con los dictámenes de los peritos de las partes y del tercero en discordia; sin embargo, acorde a la reforma indicada, los peritos de las partes deben de exhibir su dictamen en la audiencia de juicio y de ser contradictorios, se designará en esa audiencia al perito tercero en discordia y su dictamen lo exhibirá en una audiencia posterior; por tanto, dicha reforma, prolonga el juicio oral mercantil a una tercera audiencia, contraviniendo la rapidez para el cual fue creado este procedimiento; además, los principios de concentración y continuidad, los cuales entrelazados entre sí, indican que todas las cuestiones litigiosas deben ser resueltas y planteadas ante el mismo Juez para ser resueltas en una sola audiencia de ser posible, de ahí que, se debe de realizar una nueva reforma que armonice con la fluidez de este procedimiento.

Afianzando con esto, el reforzamiento de los lazos afectivos, el mejoramiento emocional y de salud del adulto mayor.
CONCILIACIÓN PREJUDICIAL EN MATERIA CIVIL Y FAMILIAR, COMO REQUISITO DE PROCEDIBILIDAD PARA ACCEDER A UN PROCESO JURISDICCIONAL
Authors: Rodríguez-Ramos Adriana De Jesús
Published: September 2021

La predisposición de las personas a mantener una mentalidad litigiosa y la falta de difusión de los diversos procedimientos que existen para resolver conflictos, ha ocasionado que las partes opten por solucionar sus desacuerdos en la vía tradicional, es decir, a través del proceso jurisdiccional. Sin embargo, para nadie es desconocido la situación crítica que prevalece en el interior de los tribunales de administración de justicia. El incremento del índice en la promoción de demandas que diariamente son ingresadas por los particulares, con la finalidad de resolver sus desacuerdos legales en el ámbito civil y familiar, ha ocasionado un impacto negativo en la resolución de conflictos por la vía jurisdiccional. Situación que se hace notoria en la dilación y rezago de los procesos que se instan con la de finalidad de obtener una justicia pronta y expedita. Ante tal colapso, el tiempo y la necesidad han obligado a buscar diversas opciones o alternativas que pongan fin a conflictos de esta índole, de una manera eficaz, efectiva, simple rápida y económica. El presente artículo se basa en el análisis de la necesidad de materializar el mandato constitucional para acceder a una justicia alternativa a través de la implementación de una instancia prejudicial obligatoria de conciliación en la materia civil y familiar. Procedimiento previo al proceso cuyo objetivo será brindar una auténtica posibilidad de solución de los conflictos de índole civil y familiar, así como abreviar los plazos de resolución de los mismos, el cual deberá ser presidido por funcionarios conciliadores expertos.

Published: September 2021

La justicia alternativa es un acceso a la justicia auto compositiva en donde el diálogo y comunicación representan toma de decisiones para el bien individual y colectivo. Ante situaciones de conflicto de interés en materia ambiental (ejidos, agua, suelo, entre otros) la toma de decisiones debe nacer desde el consenso de los que de forma directa impacta el daño ambiental (acción u omisión) en conjunto con las autoridades competentes de la materia. Para ello, las técnicas y herramientas que proporcionan los mecanismos alternativos afianzan procesos de conflictos que puedan ser gestionados y solucionados de forma participativa e inclusiva. Es de reconocer que el Estado mexicano dentro de su competencia legislativa ha proclamado y establecido leyes de manera progresiva en cuanto la integración de la justicia alternativa en conflictos de materia ambiental.

„Eine Art Versuchsritual“
Authors: Azou Jente
Published: September 2021

Esther Kinskys ‚Geländeroman’ Hain konfrontiert die Leser*innen mit besonderen Erinnerungs- und Trauerritualen. Er rückt das Verhältnis zwischen den persönlichen und kulturellen Formen der Erinnerung in den Brennpunkt. Die trauernde Protagonistin tritt als achtsame Beobachterin des Erinnerungsverfahrens auf. Die Erinnerung an die Verstorbenen präsentiert sich aber nicht nur in den wahrgenommenen Trauerritualen, sondern erweist sich als allgegenwärtig in der Umgebung. Friedhöfe und die historischen Stätten der Etruskernekropolen, die als eine Materialisierung von Erinnerungsritualen gelten, prägen die norditalienische Landschaft, in der die Geschichte spielt. Wegen der Verflochtenheit der Trauerkultur mit dem Alltag, gelingt es der Protagonistin nicht, ihren persönlichen Verlust vollständig von den beobachteten Erinnerungsritualen oder der Umgebung, in der sie sich befindet, abzugrenzen.

Изучение философии и методологии науки, философских проблем специальных наук магистрантами, аспирантами, молодыми учеными в техническом вузе - важная часть их теоретико-методологической, общенаучной подготовки. Специальные научные знания, получаемые студентами в техническом вузе, исследования, проводимые учеными, в том числе и молодыми, должны осмысливаться как в контексте широкого социокультурного, так и в конкретно-научном диапазоне. Очень важно, чтобы в этом контексте молодой ученый - аспирант, ассистент, избравший научный путь развития, освоил рациональные и эмпирические способы, методы исследования. Это возможно в том случае, если повысить уровень теоретико-методологической подготовки будущих специалистов, инженеров, молодых ученых.

The study of philosophy and methodology of science, philosophical problems of special sciences by undergraduates, graduate students, and young scientists at a technical university is an important part of their theoretical, methodological, general scientific training. Special scientific knowledge obtained by students in a technical university, research carried out by scientists, including young people, should be comprehended both in the context of a wide socio-cultural and in a specific scientific range. It is very important that in this context a young scientist - graduate student, assistant, who has chosen the scientific path of development, mastered rational and empirical methods, research methods. This is possible if the level of theoretical and methodological training of future specialists, engineers, and young scientists is raised.

Reproductive Freedom and the Paradigmatic Character of Plato's "Republic"
Authors: Samaras Thanassis
Published: September 2021

In the Republic, the paradigmatic character of Plato’s best city appears incompatible with the use of deception in the procreative practices of the Auxiliaries and Guardians. I argue that this incongruity, as well as the exact provisions of Plato’s reproduction festival, are explained by three facts: his commitment to eugenics, his insistence on the abolition of the typical Greek household and his belief that there are serious limitations to the type of knowledge that Auxiliaries can achieve.
St Kosmas the Aitolian (1714-1779) as an Educator
Authors: Palmer John
Published: September 2021

Though St Kosmas the Aitolian (1714-1779) is widely acknowledged to be one of the most noteworthy educators of his era and particular social context, his relevance to our age has rarely been asserted. The present article will demonstrate that behind the Saint's undeniable success as a teacher lie a great number of pedagogical principles of universal relevance which might be readily gleaned from both his educational activities and those theories he articulates in his Didachēs, or Teachings. Moreover, it will be shown that these principles which contributed so greatly to his pedagogical prowess were not achieved accidentally. The Saint labored in learning in order to render himself a more effective educator, conscientiously and effectively blending kath'imas and exothen learning, which in itself represents a pedagogical principle of inestimable value.
Odysseus and the concept of “nobility” in Sophocles' "Ajax" and "Philoctetes"
Authors: Paillard Elodie
Published: September 2021

The article shows that Odysseus in Sophocles’ Ajax and Philoctetes is at the centre of a redefinition of the concept of “nobility”. This figure has been seen to promote a new definition of the concept, but previous analyses tended to focus only on one or the other of the two plays, as Odysseus appeared too dissimilar to be considered from the same viewpoint. A closer analysis reveals that he defends the same values and is endowed with the same non-élite features in both plays. Among those values is the idea that nobility has nothing to do with descent, but with the ability at proving helpful to the whole social group. The perception other characters have of Odysseus, however, changes between the first and the second play. This change can be linked to the evolution of Athenian society. With the development of democracy, non-élite citizens redefined concepts such as eugeneia.

Ectotherms respond quickly to environmental change and thus are prone to show adaptive mechanisms across a gradient of environmental conditions. Frogs in particular have been widely used in experimental ecology to test life history theory and plasticity across gradients. However, little has been carried out on the North African Sahara frog (Pelophylax saharicus) which experiences a particularly stressful environment characterized by warm and dry conditions. In this study, we documented the adaptation of P. saharicus life history across elevation in northeast Algeria using six different populations spanning across a range of 5–1000 m. Based on snout-vent length (SVL) and body weight, we estimated the growth rate of tadpoles of each population in two predation treatments (presence and absence of Anax sp. dragonfly chemical cue). We found that the fastest-growing population was that at low elevation, followed by intermediate elevations and high elevation. Predation affected only low-elevation populations, increasing the rate of growth in body weight but not in SVL. Our results indicate that P. saharicus has adapted its life history to different conditions across elevation, suggesting low gene flow between low- and high-elevation populations.

Bentong constituency has always been the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) electoral stronghold and under the Barisan National (BN) coalition since Malaysia's independence in 1957. However, during the 14th Malaysian general election (GE14) political tsunami, the MCA has lost this parliament seat (P89 Bentong) to the Democratic Action Party (DAP), which is under the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition on 9 May 2018. Besides, Bentong is the traditional constituency of the MCA leadership, such as the first Member of Parliament (MP) for Bentong (1959-1989), Tan Sri Chan Siang Sun, retired as Health Minister cum MCA Vice-President. The second MP for Bentong is Tan Sri Lim Ah Lek (1989-1999), and he retired as Human Resources Minister cum MCA Deputy President. Before GE14, Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai was the third MP for Bentong (1999-2018) and retired as Transport Minister cum MCA President. Bentong is a district located in western Pahang, Malaysia. In 2005, Bentong officially declared as Bentong Municipal Council. According to Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM, 2011), Bentong population has reached about 115,000 people with administrative covered area of 335 square miles (868 square km) including Bentong Town, Genting Highlands, Karak, Telemong, Manchis, Sungai Dua and Bukit Tinggi. While its control area covered Sungai Gapoi, Simpang Pelangai, Kampung Shafie, Jambu Rias, Janda Baik and Sungai Penjuring.

Evaluating the sufficiency of proposed security measures in favour of building objects
Authors: Reitšpís Josef , Drotárová Jozefína
Published: September 2021

Security is understood as one of the basic life needs of people. However, it is necessary to realize that security is a natural quality of the environment where people live and is designated as a security environment. The need for sacurity is part of implementing sacurity measures that are created in compliance with a certain level of knowledge and needs. The content of this process can be characterized as a set of answers to primary questions (What is to be protected? – protected interest, Why to protect?, What to protect from? – threats) and secondary questions (Who will provide the protection?, How will the protection be provided?, When will the protection be provided?, By means of what will the protection be provided?, What price will the protection be provided for? etc.). From this viewpoint it is necessary to pay attention primarily to the problems concerning property protection from intentional actions focusing on protecting a particular building onject. In case of building objects it is primarily about the protection of tangible and intangible properties that are part of a particular limited area (mostly a building object) that is in possession or administration of a particular state or a private subject. The issues are dealt with by legal regulations, technical standards and various technical books. These usually concentrate on a particular area, kind of a building object and/or environment. However, none of them focuses on the property protection in a complex way and does not provide a satisfactory answer to the question "How to create protection systems in view of their sufficiency, complexity and balance in the technical and economic spheres?" That is why it is a social interest to search for new standardized procedures based on exact methods by means of which it will be possible, in empiric or intuitive ways, to exactly evaluate the effectivness of the existing or proposed property protection systems, including the formal desposition of results in project solutions

Social Media Participatory Development Communication during COVID-19 by Elected Women Representatives (EWRs) of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) in India
Authors: B M Darshan , Suresh Kalyani
Published: September 2021

The advancement in technology has mandated many elected representatives to use social media for socio-political participation, participatory development and currently to create awareness about the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) in India is to develop local self-governments in districts, zones, and villages, with rural development being their main objective. Women's participation in the political arena was ensured, at the local self-government level by the historic 73rd and 74th amendments of the Indian constitution in the year 1992 by granting 33 percent reservation for women in the Indian rural governance processes. It heralded a new era in decentralized governance in India. The landmark amendment has allowed women to step out of their homes and participate in Gram Panchayats and other local institutional level meetings (Phukan, Kumar, and Majeed, 2018). Karnataka was a stellar example, being the first State in the country to implement the Panchayat Raj Act, which had mandated 25% reservation for women, in 1987, prior to the Amendments of 1992. As many as 14,000 women were elected in the first elections held in 1987 (Bageshree, 2009). Use of social networking sites has upgraded the methods and structures of political communication from traditional to digital (Darshan & Suresh, 2017). Local governments in India are increasingly using social media to keep citizens safe and informed while the nation works to flatten the curve of COVID-19. In this scenario, the social media usage by Elected Women Representatives (EWRs) of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) for participatory development, during the COVID-19 pandemic is explored.

The purpose of this research was to answer questions regarding the motives of female entrepreneurs as well as the general and gender-based barriers that female entrepreneurs face in the Region. According to Al-silefanee (2019), the entrepreneurial ecosystem consists of two significant elements, the entrepreneur and the environment in which the entrepreneur operates. Regardless of how new the idea of entrepreneurship is to KRI, the region has the chance to build-up the entrepreneurship ecosystem by encouraging entrepreneurship through the development of an environment that facilitates entrepreneurial youth and initiate economic growth.

Authors: Mishra Richa , Upamanyu Shweta
Published: September 2021

In today's world, finding dedicated employees is difficult. It is important to identify the root factors that lead to employees being engaged. Employee Engagement is influenced by perceptions of organizational support and organizational justice. Employee engagement and retention are high priorities for HR executives. Disengaged workers are a major contributor to high turnover of employees, and heavily active businesses reduce both sales and staffing costs. Employees who are passionate about their jobs are more likely to be productive on a regular basis. According to Gallup data, companies with a high level of engagement show 22 per cent higher productivity. Today, the test isn't only barely holding talented people, but completely captivating them, capturing their psyches and hearts at any point of their working lives. It's more difficult to attract top talent than before. The aim of this empirical study was to learn more about the factors that influence employee engagement in the steel industry.

Authors: Mohd Jelani Nurul Syazana , Salim Siti Suria , Zaremohzzabieh Zeinab
Published: September 2021

The aim of this study is to explore the understanding and the application of learning theories among the teacher in shaping students’ behaviour. In-depth one-to-one interviews with five experienced teachers were carried out to collect the data. Collected data were analysed based on a qualitative approach by using John Hattie’s eight-mind frame in order to build consistent data. Two themes and twelve sub-themes emerged from the interviews, including mindset (mind-frame 1 to 8) and practices (punishments, rewards, approaches the students, and way of thinking). The findings demonstrated that while teachers' perspectives on learning theories varied, they are largely consistent with Hattie’s mind frame. When perceptions and beliefs are shared, Hattie's mind frames may prove the way of thinking, and it can identify a successful teacher's style of thinking. Learning theories are important for students' learning, according to the teachers in our study, however, it depends on the practices and how the teachers apply the practices in learning theories. Going forward, this research adds to the moulding of school students' behaviours by allowing teachers to use these learning theories in a novel method that could become a new teaching practice in the school system.

Social Emotional Learning is a core competency in the coming future as mankind has created and invented a gadget, device or an app for almost most of technical and knowledge-based needs. Especially during the pandemic, the need for SEL programs becomes a necessity. The important process then remains to create individuals with sensitivity to navigate in such endowed systems, without feeling too powerful or at the polar end without feeling disconnected. It is undeniable society at large will be living with this sense of having the world at their fingertips! It is exactly because of this reason that it is necessary to be socially emotionally adjusted to co-exist with many such equally gifted or talented people around oneself. At the same time the children are exposed to the fast-paced world and ever demanding need to excel and perform better academically. The Brain Training Enhancement Program (“BTE”) is a scientifically designed well researched program using Neurofeedback to improve the brain ability of students in competitive exams. The A pre- and post-test quasi-experimental design was used to test the impact of a 10-week, online-based social and emotional learning (SEL) intervention, Brain Training Enhancement Program (“BTE”), on the academic performance and social and emotional competence of 12th grade students (N =82) in two classrooms in one school. Academic performance was assessed by report card grades done in the immediate past and immediately post intervention. Social and emotional competence was assessed with Psychometric Analysis and QEEG Measurements. Students in classrooms integrating BTE program had higher year-end grades and higher scores of social and emotional competences (e.g., Engagement, Self-Regulation, and Focus) compared to students in the comparison group. This study provides preliminary empirical evidence that SEL programs like BTE improve important student outcomes.
