Published: January 2024

Introduction: Competitive swimming is one of the most popular Olympic sports. Although studies indicate that explored flat feet improved running performance, research on foot types and their impact on swimming is scarce and unexplored. This study investigates the difference between flutter kicking speed among competitive swimmers with flat and standard feet.
Materials and Methods: A total of 78 competitive swimmers in the age range of 13 to 19 years were recruited from Pusat Akuatik Darul Ehsan swimming training using a purposive sampling method and a cross-sectional study design. Based on their navicular drop test scores, the participants were categorized as flat-footed (group A) and normal-footed (group B). An independent t-test was applied to compare the kicking speeds between flat-footed and normalfooted swimmers. The swimmers in group A and group B were instructed to perform a standard 50-m kicking front crawl performance with the upper limb placed over the sliding board individually in a swimming pool, and their reaching time was recorded using a stopwatch.
Results: The results indicated flat-foot swimmers’ front crawl kicking performance was faster than normal-foot swimmers’ (P=0.03) with a medium effect size (d=0.50).
Conclusion: This study concludes that flat-footed competitive swimmers have an advantage in reaching 50 m in less time than normal-footed swimmers.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Forward head posture (FHP) is one of the most common positional deviations. Frequent users often exhibit incorrect posture because of the rising popularity of media devices, such as smartphones and computers. This posture leads to changes in muscle activity in cervical flexion and extension. It is defined by hyperextension of the upper cervical vertebrae and forward translation of the cervical vertebrae. This study evaluates the effect of dry needles as a new method in the upper trapezius muscle on the neck’s angles and range of motion (ROM) in individuals with FHP
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental interventional study, 18 women with FHP underwent a dry needle session. The photogrammetry of the cranio-vertebral angle measured the degree of FHP. Visual analog scale (VAS), pain pressure threshold (PPT), cranio-vertebral angle (CVA) and cranio-horizontal angles (CHA), ROM, scapular index (SI), and forward shoulder translation (FST) were assessed before and after the intervention.
Results: The results demonstrated that after the intervention, right and left PPT, flexion, and proper neck rotation, right and left SI, CVA, and CHA were significantly improved (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that one session of dry needling with stretching exercises intervention could improve PPT, ROM, SI, CVA, and CHA and consequently improve FHP.

Introduction: This study compares the effect of postural restoration (PR) exercises with and without core stability exercises on the pain, intensity, function, quality of life (QoL), and passive range of motion (PROM) at lumbo pelvic-femoral complex in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain.
Materials and Methods: This was an interventional type of randomized clinical trial study. The participants were 45 female patients (48.1±6.11 years, 161.4±5.06 cm height, 65.08±6.9 kg weight, and 24.9±2.8 body mass index). They were randomly divided into three equal groups: Group 1=PR exercises and core exercises, group 2=PR exercises, and group 3=control group. Pain intensity, function, QoL, and PROM were measured with the visual analog scale, Oswestry disability index, short form-36 questionnaire, and goniometer. The analysis of covariance was used to compare the means in the study groups before and after the intervention. The intervention groups performed the exercises for six weeks.
Results: The results showed a significant difference between the QoL, pain intensity, function, and PROM of left hip adduction in the group with PR exercises with and without core exercises and control (P=0.000). In the PR group with core exercises (P=0.001) and without core exercises (P=0.001), a significant increase was observed in the adduction of the left hip. There was no significant difference between the function (P=0.850), pain (P=0.120), QoL (P=0.328), and PROM (P=0.094) in the intervention groups.
Conclusion: PR exercises with and without core stability are equally effective in reducing pain and improving function, QoL, and hip adduction range of motion in women with left anterior interior chain patterns.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide. Occupational therapy interventions in these patients are mainly focused on improving patients’ ability to perform daily occupations. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique whose potential for motor and cognitive recovery of patients with TBI has been investigated; however, its effect on functional outcomes following TBI is unknown. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of tDCS combined with routine occupational therapy on the activities of daily living in patients with TBI.
Materials and Methods: This was a single-blind, randomized clinical trial. A total of 24 patients with TBI were recruited using the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=12) and control groups (n=12). Both groups underwent routine occupational therapy for 10 sessions (3 days per week), and the experimental group received tDCS (20 min) in addition to routine occupational therapy. Activities of daily living were assessed using the functional independence measure (FIM) at the baseline and the day after the end of the intervention.
Results: After a 10-session intervention, both groups experienced significant improvements in the cognitive subscale and the FIM total score (P<0.001). Additionally, the findings showed that these improvements were significantly higher in the experimental group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: According to the findings, although routine occupational therapy can effectively improve the ability of patients with TBI to perform daily living activities, adding tDCS as a complementary intervention can accelerate recovery in these patients.

Authors: Parsa Ardalan Ramezani , Begi Zahra Poursaleh , Amiri Ali , Bahadorani Nastaran , Shamsi Amirhossein
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Hamstring injuries are one of the most common tendon injuries, especially in sports that require running and jumping. A comprehensive training program can help athletes to prevent this injury. Among suggested exercises, the Nordic eccentric training can reduce the injury rate by up to 50%; however, it is a high-load exercise that cannot be prescribed in the first stages of rehabilitation. Here, we describe a football player who used low-load resistance exercise with blood flow restriction as an alternative method to strengthen their hamstring after nine months of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery
Case Description: A 19-year-old non-professional footballer with a body mass index of 22.18 kg/cm2 was invited to participate in this study. The variables examined included strength and cross-sectional area of the hamstring muscles (mean and maximum strength) and the crosssectional area of the hamstring tendons at their origin. The treatment program included a seated hamstring curl with a load of 30% 1 RM with blood flow restriction for four weeks (thrice a week).
Results: The hamstring muscle strength improved by 6.54%, and the cross-sectional area of the muscles and tendons changed as follows: Semimembranosus (tendon=0.07%, muscle=2.57%), semitendinosus (tendon=0.00%, muscle=-4.04%), and biceps-femoris (tendon=5.5%, muscle=4.34%).
Conclusion: Low load resistance training with blood flow restriction in this athlete improved the strength and cross-sectional area of the hamstring muscles as well as the cross-sectional area of the tendons. The changes observed in tendon, and muscle cross-sectional areas were more prominent for biceps-femoris. This case showed that a training program with blood flow restriction may be a good alternative for people who cannot tolerate high-load exercises in the early stages of their rehabilitation. Doing more extensive studies with more cases and a control group in the future can help our knowledge in giving the best exercise prescription to our patients.

DFT Calculations of Trilayer Heterostructures from MoSe2, PtS2 Monolayers in Different Orders with Promising Optoelectronic Properties
Authors: M. Al-ıssawe Jassim , Oreibi Idrees
Published: January 2024

vVan der Waals (vdW) heterostructures have taken the dominant place in commercialization of the optoelectronic devices. MoSe2 and PtS2 are two-dimensional semiconductors, Using first-principles computations, the optical and electronic characteristics of trilayer van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures with four distinct orders were investigated. We demonstrate that all innovative heterostructures investigated are semiconductors. In addition, it should be emphasized that the indirect band gaps of the ABA, BAA, ABB, and BAB orders (where A is MoSe2 and B is PtS2) are approximately 0.875, 0.68, 0.595, and 0.594 eV, respectively. Positively, the optical characteristics reveal that the trilayer heterostructures strongly absorb light with energies ranging from infrared to ultraviolet. Therefore, these heterostructures can be utilized in optoelectronic devices in these regions.

Published: January 2024

The article proposes a method for rapid assessment of the initial position of oil-water contacts, oxidized oil zones, transition zones, zones of high and decreasing resistance in the Lower Carboniferous Tournaisian oil deposits at one of the oilfields of the Republic of Tatarstan. As initial data, the values of electrical resistivity of effective interlayers from the catalog of geological and geophysical data, determined from induction logging curves, were used. Well log data for more than 200 wells drilled in elevation areas were used in analysis. The change in the electrical properties of deposits vertically is considered using the average resistivity values of effective interlayers averaged over all wells. Conclusions are based on the results of the done work: according to the resistivity values in massive carbonate deposits of the Tournaisian age, it is possible to distinguish various zones of oil saturation along the vertical; initial oil saturation does not grow exponentially, as in the Leverett function, but linearly in each zone.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this work is to select the optimal method for multi-stage hydraulic fracturing simulation at the wells of a large gas condensate field X in conditions of low-permeability reservoirs and potential risk of condensate loss in the near bottomhole zone with a decrease in reservoir pressure.
At the moment, there are many ways to simulate hydraulic fracturing, each of which is characterized by its advantages and disadvantages. For specific simulation conditions, it is necessary to choose the most optimal method of hydraulic fracturing simulation, which allows you to correctly simulate all the effects that are expected during development. Within the framework of the current work, the most common numerical methods of hydraulic fracturing simulation were described in abstract, their advantages and disadvantages for specific conditions of field X were reflected. Special attention was paid to the comparison of hydraulic fracturing simulation techniques using virtual perforations and local grid refinement, since these techniques are the most common ways to set hydraulic fracturing in existing hydrodynamic simulators. Scenario calculations were carried out, which made it possible to determine the limits of applicability of various methods, compare the correctness of reproducing downhole effects, quantify the deviation of the calculation results of different methods from the reference calculation. In addition, in the course of the work, various features of the application of the hydraulic fracturing simulation through local grid refinement were described, which were revealed experimentally.
As a result, for multi-stage hydraulic fracturing simulation was used a method in which the cells with hydraulic fracturing are logarithmically chopped relative to the original grid. This method allows to simulate the actual rate of decline in well productivity in conditions of low reservoir permeability, and also allows to simulate in the hydrodynamic model the effect of condensate precipitation in the near bottomhole zone and the subsequent decrease in gas productivity.

The article provides an overview of ion-modified waterflooding technology, also known as low salinity, controlled salinity, or Smart water. This technology is currently considered one of the most promising approaches in the development of oil deposits in carbonate reservoirs due to its economic efficiency and environmental safety. The article discusses the main mechanisms and processes underlying ion-modified waterflooding and presents the results of laboratory studies conducted on core samples from foreign oil deposits. It includes an analysis of several studies, including contact angle measurements and core flooding experiments on core samples from oil deposits in carbonate reservoirs on the eastern side of the Melekess depression in the Republic of Tatarstan. It is important to note that the Vereyian deposits explored in this article are not a typical example of test objects for ion-modified water injection. This is because they are characterized by a low reservoir temperature of 23 °C, which suggests that the efficiency of the technology would likely be lower compared to studies conducted abroad, where reservoir temperatures were significantly higher. For example, Darvish Sarvestani et al. studied reservoir conditions at 90 °C, Yousef et al. – reservoir temperature of 100 °C, and Austad et al. examined the Ekofisk field at 130 °C and the Volhall field at 90 °C in Norway. However, as several studies have indicated, prolonged contact between rock samples and ion-modified water contributes to significant hydrophilization of the rock surface, as confirmed by contact angle measurements. The contact angle decreases from approximately 138.3° to 53.45° after exposure to ion-modified water. Additionally, the core flooding experiment demonstrated a slight increase in the oil displacement coefficient, reaching 9.2%. These findings suggest the potential for enhanced oil recovery by injecting Smart water into the Vereyian sediments, although further research is required to confirm the underlying mechanism.

Authors: S J Shabnam Ara , R Tanuja
Published: January 2024

Understanding the factors that influence students' results in hybrid learning environments is becoming increasingly important in today's educational environment.  The goal of this research is to examine factors that influence students' academic performance as well as their level of participation in blended learning environments.  A comprehensive study was conducted with 330 interested participants from the prestigious government polytechnics of the state of Karnataka in order to achieve this goal. Our data acquisition approach relied on the administration of a meticulously crafted survey questionnaire. The conceptual framework underpinning this study seamlessly integrates Transactional Distance Theory (TDT) principles with valuable insights derived from prior research. The Welch test and one-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) are two statistical approaches that we used selectively to reinforce our research which produced surprising results.  These findings underscore the pivotal role played by certain specific factors. The geographical location of learners and the medium through which they pursue their studies have emerged as critical determinants significantly influencing academic performance. Aspects like the frequency of login activities and active engagement in forum discussions have been found to exert a positive influence on learners' academic performance. In contrast, the duration of sleep did not show a significant impact on performance. These insights bear tangible implications for teachers and policymakers who are dedicated to the enhancement of the quality of BL programs with the ultimate goal of enriching the overall educational experience.

Published: January 2024

Analysis of the influence of vegetation density levels on the concentration of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in aquatic areas is crucial in the Pomalaa District, an area characterized by extensive mining activities. This research aims to examine changes in vegetation density conditions and analyze the influence of vegetation density levels on TSS concentrations in the aquatic region. Changes in vegetation density conditions are analyzed through multi-temporal remote sensing image processing using the NDVI method. The TSS concentration is analyzed using the gravimetric method. Meanwhile, the influence of vegetation density level on TSS concentration is analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient equation. The results of the research show that there has been an increase in the area with very low levels of vegetation density and a decrease in the area with high levels of vegetation density in the period 2014 to 2023. The calculated results of TSS concentrations at the research location are 78 mg/l to 111 mg/l. The correlation analysis shows that the broader the area with very low vegetation density, the higher the TSS concentration in the aquatic environment. Additionally, the larger the area with high vegetation density, the lower the TSS concentration value of the water at the research locations.

Case:

A 42-year-old woman presented with left-sided axial neck pain with radiation behind left ear of 3 months unresponsive to conservative treatment. As clinical examination revealed tenderness anterior to the mastoid process, she was referred to an otolaryngologist. Computed tomography showed an elongated left styloid process. Diagnostic local anesthetic infiltration provided complete pain relief confirming the diagnosis of Eagle syndrome (ES) after which a transoral excision of the left styloid process was performed. She was asymptomatic till the final follow-up of 15 months.

Conclusion:

ES should be considered in differential diagnosis of axial neck pain radiating to ear, and excision of the styloid process in resistant cases provides complete pain relief.

Published: January 2024

Titanium dioxide (TiO2, INS No 171) is a still widely applied food colorant outside the European Union. The possible health risk related to the consumption of TiO2 is most probably also related to its particle size distribution. Centrifugal liquid sedimentation (CLS) is a fast and robust method that can be applied for high-resolution particle size distribution measurement of various nanomaterials. It was successfully applied in the characterisation of food-grade titanium dioxide extracted from sugar-coated confectionery products, such as chewing gum. This protocol summarises the details of such a disk centrifuge based analysis procedure and discusses also the limitations of the method.
