Published: August 2022

Digitization has made the channel of doing the business easier and timeless. With the fast-growing economy with e-commerce, it becomes a priority to study the parameters that influence e-commerce. In this paper, the authors have recognized nine factors: customer satisfaction, user interface, gender-related approach to e-commerce platform, company's association with customers, data breach, digital literacy, localization of internet content, digital infrastructure, and government policy. This chapter presents a keen study on the contributions of the factors on the e-commerce structure. Interpretive structure modelling technique has been used to provide a systematic judgement on the influence of provided parameters. MICMAC analysis has been carried out to classify the critical factors as per their dependence and driving powers. Results from the study have shown that customer satisfaction is the most dependent factor and the long-term goal to achieve for an e-commerce success. Government policy remains lowest in the strata and derives all the other parameters.

This study focuses on working life, which has an important place in the center of social changes after COVID-19. In the working life, where digital transformation has an application area, different concepts have taken their place in the literature in the important change observed with COVID-19. Digitalization made its presence felt in a process that accelerated with COVID-19. Concepts and applications that were not included in daily life practices until a few years ago are experienced today. In the study, an evaluation was made on crowdworking and related concepts, which are considered as one of these concepts. In this evaluation, digital transformation and the post-COVID-19 process were highlighted, and the motivation sources of crowdworker and crowdsourcer were analyzed through in-depth interview method.
Networking as a Driving Force for Post-COVID-19 Economic Behavior
Authors: Milovidov Vladimir Dmitrievich
Published: August 2022

This chapter examines three examples of the development of networking as an economic behavior changer: retail investors, the general consumer, and corporations. The author shows how the pandemic has influenced the development of forms of networking. The risk of contagion has created a need for collective emotional support in the general public. Networks became a source of information, advice, ideas, and hints that helped participants overcome the psychological stress caused by the scale of the pandemic. The change in the activity of the general public in social media prompted businesses to expand the formats of online communication with their stakeholders. The author identifies three characteristics of modern networking: borderlessness, focused organization, and performativity. These characteristics contribute to the fact that networking begins to determine the behavior of economic actors. This phenomenon requires serious study because it generates new problems and may increase the overall uncertainty in addition to the positive effect.

Authors: Belherazem Assia , Tlemsani Redouane
Published: August 2022

This paper proposes a hybrid text classification model that combines 1D CNN with a single Bidirectional Fast GRU (BiFaGRU) termed as CNN-BiFaGRU. Single convolution layer captures features through a kernel applying 128 filters which are slide over these embeds to find convolutions and drop entire 1D feature maps by using Spatial Dropout, combined vectors using Max-Pooling layer. Then, the Bidirectional CUDNNGRU block to extract temporal features, results of this layer is normalize by the Batch Normalization layer and transmitted to the Fully Connected Layer. The output layer produces the final classification results. Precision/loss score was used as the main criterion on five different datasets (WebKb, R8, R52, AG-News, and 20 NG) to assess the performance of the proposed model. The results indicate that the precision score of the classifier on WebKb, R8, and R52 data sets significantly improved from 90% up to 97% compared to the best result achieved by other methods such as LSTM and Bi-LSTM. Thus, the proposed model shows higher precision and lower loss scores than other methods.

Authors: MABIAKU Yvonne Osaretin , MABIAKU Tagberetse Oghenegare , ISARAH Alphonsus Rukevwe
Published: August 2022

Background: Dental Health Care Personnel (DHCP) and clinical students in training are constantly exposed to saliva and oral fluids in the course of carrying out oral health care procedures. For optimum observance of infection control protocols, there is a need for adequate and appropriate knowledge of infectious agents and their mode of transmission in order to prevent cross infection in a dental clinic setting.

Objective: To determine the level of knowledge of infectious agents transmissible in a dental clinic among dental health care personnel and final year clinical students and nurses in a tertiary health facility.

Methods: This paper is a cross-sectional descriptive study which used a well-structured self-administered questionnaire. A convenient sampling technique was applied and a total of 111 DHCP and final year clinical students and nurses were recruited into the study. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) version 16 (IBM, Chicago, IL, USA).  Bivariate analysis showed that the dentist cadre had the best level of knowledge of infectious agents transmissible in dental clinics. This, however, was not statistically significant p=0.298

Results: A total of one hundred and eleven respondents, ages ranging from 15 to 55 years and with a mean age of 31.0±5.5 participated in this study. More than two-third 75(67.6%) of the respondents were dental surgeons and the least 2(1.8%) were the dental hygienist. More males 63(56.8%) participated in the study and most respondents 107(96.4%) were Christians. Fifty-five (49%) had good knowledge, 9(8.1%) had fair knowledge, and 47(42.3%) had poor knowledge of infectious diseases/conditions transmissible in dentistry. Respondents’ status was not a determinant of the level of knowledge, p=0.298.

Conclusion: The average knowledge of the DHCP, final year clinical students and dental student nurses in this study was good, but their knowledge about HDV and infectious bacteria in dental unit water was poor.

Institucionalização da compliance na contratação com a administração pública no estado do Amazonas
Authors:   , Silva Sander José Couto da
Published: August 2022

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a maturidade da institucionalização da compliance nos contratos da Administração Pública com pessoas jurídicas dos segmentos da educação e da saúde no estado do Amazonas. Para tanto, utilizaram-se a Teoria Institucional Sociológica e os pressupostos da institucionalização, do isomorfismo e da ocorrência de decoupling. Metodologicamente, na coleta de dados houve a utilização da archival research (análise documental) para a observação das leis e da ocorrência do isomorfismo mimético e, ainda, a aplicação da pesquisa de campo com observação direta e de entrevistas semiestruturadas (14), saturada por meio da técnica de snowball sampling, com o intuito de constatar o isomorfismo mimético e, ou, coercitivo e a ocorrência do decoupling. Para a análise dos dados, aplicou-se o método de exame de conteúdo, por meio da sumarização dos documentos e das informações coletadas. As categorias de análise refletidas em textos, mapas, tabelas e quadros foram respaldadas no conteúdo dos normativos de utilização de programas de integridade adotados pelos estados brasileiros e na ocorrência da institucionalização ou decoupling da Lei amazonense 4.730/2018. Os principais resultados encontrados remetem a uma ampla ocorrência de isomorfismo mimético entre os entes estaduais da Federação na adoção de programas de integridade como ferramenta para mitigar a corrupção e de isomorfismo coercitivo em dois sentidos: dos estados em relação aos seus fornecedores, quanto à aplicabilidade e uso de programas de integridade; e da sociedade, que “exige” a legitimação das ações do estado (coercitivo informal). Percebeu-se no estado do Amazonas a postergação da institucionalização de sua Lei Anticorrupção, bem como a consequente ocorrência de decoupling em seu uso. Esta pesquisa se diferencia das demais sobre o assunto, pois traz uma avaliação do uso da compliance de forma mais prática, com foco nas contratações públicas, mais especificamente no estado do Amazonas e nas aquisições de itens para os serviços públicos de educação e saúde, enquanto outras pesquisas, muito embora discorram sobre o compliance, contemplam abordagens jurídicas ou sobre o contexto das legislações. Assim, nesta dissertação foram identificadas contribuições teóricas (a institucionalização das práticas organizacionais, a difusão do isomorfismo no ambiente institucional dos estados brasileiros naadoção de normativos e o acontecimento de decoupling); e práticas do objeto de estudo (avaliação da política pública de combate à corrupção pela população amazonense, pelo poder público local e por outros entes da Federação).

Pengalaman Remaja Perempuan Melakukan Deliberate Self-Harm: Sebuah Kajian Fenomenologis
Authors: Faradiba Andi Tenri , Abidin Zainal
Published: August 2022

Self harm or Deliberate Self-Harm (DSH) is carried out with the intention of intentionally injuring a member of the body without any suicidal intent. Previous research has stated that adolescent girls are the most vulnerable group to DSH. DSH behavior in adolescence that is repeated with increasing intensity increases the risk of suicide in adulthood. This research was conducted to find out how the first experience of DSH behavior was carried out by female adolescents and how self-harm was used. A qualitative approach with the type of generic qualitative study is carried out to answer these questions. Participants were selected by snowball sampling technique with the characteristics of female adolescents aged 12-23 years and had DSH in the last three months. Data were collected and processed using thematic analysis. The results show that the teenage girls in this study have been doing self-harm for more than five years and it begins by looking at social media which shows that self-harm can be a solution to the problems they face. The methods of self-harm and the depth of injury that arise due to DSH behavior are increasingly varied and increase the risk for the perpetrator. DSH behavior is important to pay attention to considering the risks and dangers it poses and has the potential to increase the possibility of suicide.
Manejo Sostenible de la ganadería en Latinoamérica: Revisión Sistemática 2018-2021.
Authors: Silva Ruiz Lucy , Jaramillo Peralta Denys Alberto
Published: August 2022

El sistema pecuario es considerado una de las actividades más contaminantes, ello debido a la deforestación que se realiza para ampliar la cobertura de pastos, causando desequilibrios ecológicos como la degradación de los suelos, la contaminación del aire, escaso almacenamiento de CO2, emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, ocasionado por la fermentación entérica del ganado. Si bien es cierto que es una actividad que muchas familias se benefician de ella, sin embargo, la carencia de políticas públicas dirigidas a esta actividad, hace que se desarrolle de una manera no sustentable, perjudicando a largo plazo el equilibrio de los servicios ecosistémicos. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo de realizar una revisión sistemática sobre las premisas conceptuales del manejo de ganadería sostenible en Latinoamérica, para ello se utilizó la metodología PRISMA, revisando los repositorios de Ebsco, ProQuest, Scielo y Scopus de los años 2018 al 2021, teniendo como conclusiones que la aplicación del manejo ganadero sostenible, en la mayoría busca una orientación más hacia el cuidado del ecosistema.

Modelling ultrafine particle growth in a flow tube reactor
Authors: Taylor Jr. Michael S. , Higgins Devon N. , Johnston Murray V.
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Flow tube reactors are often used to study aerosol
kinetics. The goal of this study is to investigate how to best represent
complex growth kinetics of ultrafine particles within a flow tube reactor
when the chemical processes causing particle growth are unknown. In a
typical flow tube experiment, one measures the inlet and outlet particle
size distributions to give a time-averaged measure of growth, which may
be difficult to interpret if the growth kinetics change as particles transit
through the flow tube. In this work, we simulate particle growth for
secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation that incorporates both surface-
and volume-limited chemical processes to illustrate how complex growth
kinetics inside a flow tube can arise. We then develop and assess a method
to account for complex growth kinetics when the chemical processes driving
the kinetics are not known. Diameter growth of particles is represented by a
growth factor (GF), defined as the fraction of products from oxidation of
the volatile organic compound (VOC) precursors that grow particles during a
specific time period. Defined in this way, GF is the sum of all non-volatile
products that condensationally grow particles plus a portion of semi-volatile
molecules that react on or in the particle to give non-volatile products that
remain in the particle over the investigated time frame. With respect to
flow tube measurements, GF is independent of wall loss and condensation
sink, which influence particle growth kinetics and can vary from experiment
to experiment. GF is shown to change as a function of time within the flow
tube and is sensitive to factors that affect growth such as gas-phase mixing
ratios of the precursors and the presence of aerosol liquid water (ALW) on
the surface or in the volume of the particle. A method to calculate GF from the
outlet-minus-inlet particle diameter change in a flow tube experiment is
presented and shown to accurately match GFs from simulations of SOA
formation.
Türkiye Yönetim Sistemi Çerçevesinde Merkezî Yönetim İlkelerinin İncelenmesi
Authors: Karataş Deniz
Published: August 2022

In this study, it is aimed to examine the principles of the central management system from the theoretical framework within the framework of the current management system of Turkey. The Republic of Turkey has a centralized state and is governed with the understanding of a unitary management system. In a centralized state, it is imperative that the administration demonstrate integrity. The main purpose of gathering the power in one hand in the center is to serve every region and city of the country within the framework of the principle of justice by managing the country as a whole within the framework of a more orderly, more systematic and more qualified management approach. Decentralization and decentralization can be seen as two opposite ends of a whole. In fact, they are all parts of a whole, a system. The integrity and harmony between the general management and the Decadal management organizations is ensured by the guardianship audit, and within the administrative organization by the ‘hierarchical audit’ method. In terms of ensuring the integrity of management, both guardianship and hierarchical supervision are important tools. Key Words: Management System, Central Management, Unitary Structure
Exploring the Link Between IHRL and IHL regarding its Simultaneous Application: A Case Study of Tribal Belt in KP for the Development of International Jurisprudence
Authors: Nazli Shumaila , Khan Dr. Muhammad Zubair
Published: August 2022

The simultaneous application of IHL and IHRL during an armed conflict is a hugely debated area of international law. The experts have been divided into two categories. Some would say that simultaneous application is possible as IHRL is applicable in all circumstances whether of peace or of conflict. They would argue that the IHRL portion could not be disconnected from IHL as both interplay during warfare and armed conflict with each other. On the other hand, the other group of experts would argue that simultaneous application and interplay of IHL and IHRL is not possible as one is Lex Specialis and the other is Lex Generalis. They are also of the opinion that these two set of rules are different in its implementation mechanisms. Both follow different mechanisms for the implementation of its rules and the consequences of these mechanisms are entirely different. This article tries to elaborate both these opinions for the development of a consensual jurisprudence in international law. The erstwhile FATA (tribal belt in KP) is used as case study.

Children during the Winter Traditions in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (1944–1961)
Authors:   Institute of Cultural Heritage, Republic of Moldova, Dolghi Adrian
Published: August 2022

The Soviet power sought to liquidate the old traditions and to invent revolutionary ones, as well as to transform some Christian traditions into communist ones in order to constitute a new culture – of Soviet type. Following the analysis of winter traditions in the MSSR that involved children, we conclude that the transformation of the tradition took place only in the official calendar, due to which it could not decisively influence the formation of the ethnocultural identity of the young generation. Despite all the efforts of the political factor, the traditional calendar could not be changed. Regardless of the hostile political and ideological environment, the attachment of the population to traditions, customs, and the Christian Orthodox faith has not been liquidated. The sustainability of the traditions in the consciousness of the society prevented their displacement; they were partially filled with some elements with ideological content. The influence of the environment – partly of the atheist propaganda on behalf of the school and children’s organizations and the religious propaganda on behalf of the family – formed a duplicitous attitude towards religion, forcing children to secretly follow religious cultures. The children found themselves caught between two contradictory worlds: the official Soviet world and the traditional environment from which they originated (family, village, relatives). Authentic values ultimately prevailed spiritually.

Authors:   Odessa National University «I. I. Mechnikov», Ukraine, Dyomin Oleg , Paradeisopoulos Sofronios ,   Branch of the Hellenic Foundation for Culture (Odessa), Ukraine
Published: August 2022

The article examines infant mortality – the mortality of children aged from 0 to 364 days in the Greek community of Odessa during the period from 1860 to 1920. It aims at the demographic analysis of infant mortality in the Greek population of Odessa that, in general, involves the discussion of statistical figures demonstrating the development of the phenomenon in question including trends, frequency, seasonality and social structure of infant mortality. The work is based on data derived from the records of birth registers of the Greek Church of the Holy Trinity in Odessa. It addresses a number of demographic characteristics such as the seasonality of infant deaths, times of their peaks, the causes of deaths, and the social belonging of the deceased. In particular, the highest mortality rate in the 60-year period is observed during the winter and summer months. This shows the regional urban specificity, where the peaks of the deaths clearly reflect the living conditions in Odessa. The infant mortality rate in Odessa appears not very high when compared to that in other cities of Europe and Russia. This indicates a quite favorable situation in the urban environment of the time. The prevalence of mortality among boys, both in the perinatal and postnatal ages, is indicative, and the percentage of the latter age group continued to increase at the expense of boys. The high percentage of the church funeral services for the Greek children of formally foreign subjects emphasizes the complex composition of the Greek population of Odessa and, at the same time, the economic activity of the townspeople.

Authors:   Department of Kinesitherapy, Faculty of Public Health, Medical University - Varna, Bulgaria., Nenova Gergana , Ivelinova Mina ,   Specialty "Medicine", Faculty of Medicine, Medical University – Varna, Bulgaria.
Published: August 2022

Aim: To monitor the rehabilitation progress of a child with fracturaolecrani with the participation of a student volunteer in the multidisciplinary team. Methods: K.J. is an 11-year-old child admitted for rehabilitation in the Clinic of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at University Hospital "St. Marina"- Varna. In 2011 K.J. suffered a fracture in the area of the right elbow joint and underwent surgery with the placement of three Kirschner needles. Four years later, the patient suffered the same fracture and underwent surgery with the placement of two Kirschner needles. Oedema, joint deformation, severely limited range of motion, contractures, muscle hypotrophy and psychotrauma, were found after examination by an orthopaedist and a kinesitherapist. The individual kinesitherapeutic approach is focused on reducing oedema; improving activity; preventing complications; stimulating the patient's participation in social activities. Results: With the help of functional examinations (centimetre measurements, anglemetry and MMT), we established significant restoration of the upper extremity's function and reduction of the oedema. The minimal differences result from the rough operative cicatrix and slight joint deformation. The range of motion is restored to a large extent, as the deficit of 5-10 degrees is not essential in daily activities and could be further restored. Conclusions: the application of an individual approach in the multidisciplinary team's work, with the participation of a student volunteer, helps build a trustworthy relationship with the child patient. The inclusion of a student volunteer in the multidisciplinary team improves communication with vulnerable population groups and contributes to a faster physical and mental recovery.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito do cultivo de plantas de cobertura e seu manejo nos teores de carbono orgânico total do solo e em suas frações húmicas: ácidos fúlvicos, húmicos e humina. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados (DBC), em arranjo fatorial (5x2), subdividido no tempo, com quatro repetições, sendo constituído de cinco coberturas de solo: aveia preta, ervilhaca comum, nabo forrageiro, nabo+aveia e área em pousio; dois equipamentos para manejo das plantas de cobertura: rolo-faca e triturador de plantas; e dois períodos de coleta das amostras de solo: após o manejo das plantas de cobertura (Pós-PC) e após a colheita da soja (Pós-Soja). As coletas de solos foram efetuadas em 3 profundidades: 0-0,5 m, 0,5-0,10 m e 0,10-0,20 m. A ervilhaca foi a espécie que menos contribuiu para o carbono orgânico total do solo. Até 0,10 m maiores teores de humina foram observadas após o cultivo da soja, sendo que na camada de 5-10 o triturador reduziu o teor de humina. Houve redução no teor de COT após o manejo das plantas de cobertura. O uso de rolo-faca ou triturados pouco afetou o teor de COT e suas frações, com exceção no cultivo de aveia+nabo.
QBD driven analytical method development and validation of metformin and dapagliflozin by using reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography
Authors: Reddy Pittu K Chaitanya , Mathur Priyanka
Published: August 2022

A simple, sensitive, precise, accurate, and robust, high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed to simultaneously estimate Metformin (MET) and Dapagliflozin (DAPA) in pharmaceutical formulation. Design of experiments (DoE) was applied for multivariate optimization of the experimental conditions of the RP-HPLC method. A risk assessment was performed to identify the critical method parameters. The mobile phase composition, flow rate, and column temperature were used to design mathematical models. Box Behnken design (BBD) was used to study the response surface methodology and the effects of these independent factors. The desirability function was used to simultaneously optimize the retention time and resolution of MET and DAPA. The optimized and predicted data from the contour diagram consisted of acetonitrile and ortho phosphoric acid (0.1%) in the ratio of 50:50, respectively, at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and column temperature 29°C. Using these optimum conditions, baseline separation of both drugs with good resolution and run time of less than 5 min were achieved. The optimized assay conditions were validated according to ICH guidelines. Hence, the results clearly showed that the Quality by design approach could be successfully applied to optimize the RP-HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of MET and DAPA.

Aim: To assess the knowledge and awareness of the benefits & risk of different infant feeding practices amongst dentists. Materials and methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted among 205 dentists by using convenience sampling method. Results: 79.8% of the participants responded that breastfeeding should be initiated within 1 hour of birth whereas only 3.8% reported it to be initiated within 24 hours of birth. Around 78.8% of the participants had the knowledge about commencement of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months after birth. 51.4% participants knew that breastmilk can provide one third of energy between 12 and 24 months. We found that 51.0% participants responded that pumped breastmilk can be stored for 4 hours at room temperature. Conclusion: There is a generalized lack of awareness regarding infant feeding practices among general dentists and most of them are not updated about the latest recommendations.

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are advocated to show adverse pregnancy outcomes. Hence in our study we aim to conduct a systematic review of the previous systemic reviews studying the association between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Material and methods: We searched online databases up to November 2016 for the previous Systematic reviews of studies comparing pregnancy outcomes among women with and without periodontal disease were eligible for inclusion. Primary outcomes were maternal mortality, preterm birth, and perinatal mortality. Results: From the 23 none reported the association between periodontal disease and maternal or perinatal mortality. Systematic reviews with the lowest risk of bias consistently demonstrated positive associations between periodontal disease and preterm birth, low birth weight, preeclampsia, and preterm LBW. Based on these figures, estimated population- attributable fractions for periodontal disease were 5% to 38% for preterm birth, 6% to 41% for LBW, and 10%to 55% for preeclampsia. Due to substantial overlap in included primary studies, we could not combine results across reviews. Conclusion: We can conclude that pregnant women with periodontal disease are at increased risk of developing preeclampsia and delivering a preterm and/or LBW baby.
Bayesian reciprocal bridge composite tobit quantile regression
Authors: Alsaadi Zainab , Alhamzawi Rahim
Published: August 2022

A composite tobit quantile regression approach is proposed for Bayesian simultaneous covariate selection and estimation in the setting of left censored regression. The proposed approach uses prior distributions for the regression coefficients that are scale mixtures of inverse uniform priors on the coefficients and independent Gamma priors on their mixing parameters. The proposed method was illustrated using simulation examples. Results show that the proposed method performs very well compared to the existing method.
Environmental health enhancement by recycling poultry processing waste into protein ingredient in common carp Cyprinus carpio L. diets

Published: August 2022

This study was designed to investigate recycling poultry processing waste into protein concentrate as a step for supporting environmental health and resource sustainability, using it as a partial replacement of fish meal in diets prepared for common carp Cyprinus carpio L. fingerlings and explore its effect on fish growth, feeding efficiency and feed digestibility. Poultry waste was recycled into protein concentrate by a physical method, the chemical composition of this concentrate was analyzed, amino acid profile was determined, as well as the chemical composition of the prepared diets was analyzed. Four diets were prepared with substitution ratios of 0, 25 ,50 and 75% of fish meal with poultry waste protein concentrate. The results showed significant differences (P< 0.05) between the four experimental diets in terms of weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and protein productive value (PPV).  The treatment T3 (substitution rate of 75%) outperformed all other three treatments. No significant differences were observed between the studied treatments in the total apparent digestibility coefficients and the digestibility coefficients of different nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates and ash).
semiotic study of social distance and contact in Natalie Tjota's American pictorial story
Authors: Hameed Duaa Fareed , Ejam Jaafar
Published: August 2022

The study investigates the social semiotics of contact employed by Natalie Tjota in her pictorial story "Berry Bunny Learns about COVID-19" which is taken from the internet website of the New York City School Library System. That is achieved by following Kress and van Leeuween (2006). It aims at discovering the effect of social distance on human behavior. Besides, it tests the impact of social distance on mood and emotions. In accordance with these aims, it hypothesizes that social distance can play an important role in conveying information, creating certain moods, and even influencing the decisions people make. The findings of the analysis validate the hypotheses of the study.

The objectives of this study were to study and compare the effects of moderate-intensity continuous and interval training on physical fitness in obesity. The participants were 48 male and female (fat % over 20 in men and 30 in women, aged between 20 – 25 years) and were randomized into three groups: 12 weeks of continuous along exercise (CA), 60-65% MHR (7 men and 8 women); 12 weeks interval exercise (IG), 60-65% MHR (208 - (0.7 x Age) alternate with 70-75% MHR every 1 minute (9 men and 8 women); and control group (CG) (8 men and 8 women). At baseline VO2max, total body weight, body fat percentage, and visceral fat data did not differ significantly between the three groups (p > 0.05). After 12 weeks of exercise intervention, both men and women participants in CA and IG had significantly improved in VO2max, total body weight, body fat percentage, no significantly in CG. There is no significant between CA and IG in every variable but significantly between CA and CG and between IG and CG in both men and women participants.

Studies on correlation coefficient and genetic variability along with heritability were conducted in Plum cultivars. A wide range of variability along with high estimates of genotypic coefficient variability and phenotypic coefficient of variability was noted for plant spread North-South and East-West spread, tree volume, yield and fruit weight. High heritability noted for days taken to maturity, yield, fruit weight, fruit length and fruit diameter, Total soluble solids and acidity. High genetic advance was recorded for days taken to maturity, yield and fruit weight. Genetic gain was found high for plant spread (E-W), yield and fruit weight, which might be assigned to additive gene action.
