Published: January 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi hubungan antara interaksi sosial dalam kelompok dan tingkat stres akademik siswa SMA, khususnya di SMA X. Interaksi sosial dalam kelompok dianggap sebagai faktor penting yang dapat mempengaruhi kondisi psikologis siswa, terutama dalam menghadapi tekanan akademik yang sering kali muncul akibat tuntutan prestasi, hubungan antar teman, dan lingkungan belajar yang kompetitif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei, melibatkan populasi siswa SMA X, dan sampel sebanyak 209 siswa yang dipilih secara acak. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner yang mengukur tingkat interaksi sosial dan stres akademik, sementara analisis data dilakukan menggunakan regresi linier melalui software JASP untuk menguji hubungan antara variabel independen (interaksi sosial) dan variabel dependen (tingkat stres akademik). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi sosial dalam kelompok tidak memiliki hubungan yang signifikan terhadap tingkat stres akademik siswa, yang mengindikasikan bahwa faktor-faktor lain mungkin lebih berpengaruh, seperti manajemen waktu atau dukungan keluarga. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa interaksi sosial dalam kelompok tidak berkontribusi pada tingkat stres akademik siswa, sehingga implikasinya menunjukkan perlunya perhatian lebih terhadap faktor-faktor lain yang dapat memengaruhi stres akademik dan pentingnya pengembangan strategi dukungan yang lebih komprehensif bagi siswa dalam menghadapi tekanan akademik.

Prinsip check and balance merupakan elemen penting dalam pembagian kekuasaan untuk mencegah dominasi satu lembaga negara terhadap lembaga lainnya. Peter L. Strauss memberikan pandangan mengenai pentingnya hubungan dinamis dan koordinasi antar-lembaga negara untuk menjaga keseimbangan kekuasaan. Di Indonesia, prinsip ini telah diakomodasi dalam UUD 1945 dan berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan, namun implementasinya masih menghadapi tantangan, seperti tumpang tindih kewenangan, intervensi politik, dan lemahnya mekanisme pengawasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi konsep check and balance menurut Peter L. Strauss dalam sistem kelembagaan Indonesia, mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi efektivitasnya, serta memberikan rekomendasi untuk memperkuat tata kelola pemerintahan yang demokratis. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis, yang melibatkan studi literatur dan analisis kasus nyata, seperti intervensi politik terhadap Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun prinsip check and balance telah diterapkan dalam sistem pemerintahan Indonesia, tantangan dalam bentuk konflik antar-lembaga, lemahnya koordinasi, dan pengaruh politik terhadap lembaga independen masih menjadi hambatan signifikan. Penelitian ini mengimplikasikan pentingnya penguatan regulasi, transparansi dalam pengambilan keputusan, dan pemberdayaan masyarakat sebagai pengawas eksternal. Dengan demikian, diharapkan tata kelola pemerintahan Indonesia dapat menjadi lebih transparan, akuntabel, dan responsif terhadap kebutuhan rakyat.

Published: January 2025

This research looks at a number of persons who have communication problems due to various diseases. Children with autism are one of them. Because children with autism have three basic disorders: communication, social interaction, and behavior, their communication and social interaction will undoubtedly differ from those of typical children. This research will look into instructional communication for children with autism in the classroom at Rumah Autis Depok. Rumah Autis is a social institution created to fill the gap between the demand for therapeutic locations and schools for children with autism and special needs who come from low-income households. The ethnography of communication approach was used in this research because ethnography of communication focuses on communication processes that involve language and culture. The findings of this research indicated that the communication utilized by children with autism, particularly instructional communication in the classroom, is quite unique and distinct. Teachers must speak firmly but not loudly or repeatedly. Therefore, the students easily understand. Children with autism are easily distracted, and thus, the teacher does not allow wearing eye-catching clothing and headscarves in class. The research encourages communication ethnographers to reflect on fieldwork issues and gives a framework for doing so, particularly when it comes to teaching children with autism

Published: January 2025

La implementación de estrategias pedagógicas basadas en la teoría de Jean Piaget es esencial para mejorar el aprendizaje significativo en matemáticas. Este articulo tiene como objetivo analizar los niveles de preparación de los docentes para aplicar estrategias pedagógicas basadas en los estadios de desarrollo de Piaget en matemáticas, y los principales retos que enfrentan en su práctica pedagógica en dos instituciones educativas de la provincia de Los Ríos, como se evidencia en la Escuela de Educación Básica Ejercito Nacional y la Escuela de Educación Básica Carlos Julio Arosemena Tola. Bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, con un diseño descriptivo no experimental y transversal, se encuestó a una muestra de 58 docentes seleccionados de una población total de 60 educadores. Los resultados muestran que la falta de capacitación sobre los principios de Piaget, junto con la escasez de recursos didácticos y las limitaciones de tiempo, dificulta la implementación efectiva de estas estrategias. Aunque se reconoce su efectividad para fomentar el razonamiento lógico y el desarrollo cognitivo, su aplicación es esporádica y poco sistemática. Se recomienda fortalecer la formación docente, garantizar la disponibilidad de recursos pedagógicos y promover la adopción de enfoques adaptados al contexto escolar, para mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje matemático.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Stroke is a prevalent cardiovascular system event particularly among people of African descent anywhere in the world. The impact of stroke on the life of survivors is multifaceted affecting their quality of physical, mental and social life. In the last four decades, studies reveal that stroke incidence in low- and middle-income countries such as Nigeria have witnessed a double increment in incidence whereas in high-income countries this has declined by over 40% within the same time period. This study aimed to examine the quality of life of stroke survivors in Nigeria and understand the factors that contribute to good quality of life among them.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, participants were recruited during physical rehabilitation sessions at two tertiary hospitals in South-South Nigeria. Exclusion criteria included, prior transient ischemic heart attack, recurrent persistent deficit, underlying psychotic and mental disorders, cognitive impairment and those who were handicapped before the stroke event. Tools used for the study were a semi-structured questionnaire and the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS 3.0) which measured the quality of life among stroke survivors. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Significance was set at P≤0.05.Results: Most of the respondents (54%) fell within the 56-65years age group with mean age at 59.0(SD = ±9.12). The proportion of the average raw score to the total raw score of all the domains and total quality of life score were all above 50%. The emotions domain had the highest proportion of average to highest possible scores (91%). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) between, socioeconomic and demographic factors, clinical factors and home care on the quality of life of the stroke participants were done to find their association. Age (F = 4.9(P =0.001) and marital status (F = 4.28(P =0.007) the side of lesion (F=8.17; P =0.005), having a previous stroke (F=8,08(P =0.005), the type of stroke (F = 11.37; P =0.001) and all aspects of the at home care with the exception of the hospital payment (F=1.73; L P =0.165) were significantly associated with quality of life. Gender F=3.54(P =0.070) and employment status F = 4.28; P =0.137), diabetes and hypertension had no effect on the quality of life of the patients.Conclusion: The quality of life among stroke survivors in this study, was above average. Spousal support, higher educational qualification, ischemic stroke, were positively associated with good quality of life of stroke survivors in our locality. This study adds to the growing body of research on QOL among stroke survivors within the country. This result will also minimize the gap in evidence-based research on the quality of life of stroke patients, particularly in the South-South region of the Nigeria.

With significant indicators like the infant mortality rate (IMR) and maternal mortality rate (MMR), maternal and child health is a critical issue impacting the quality of human resources. The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of maternal and child health knowledge among health students, taking into account their strategic importance in future health and education programs. The research was conducted at the Bhakti Wiyata Institute of Health Sciences in Kediri, using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method with four health students as respondents. The results of the study show that students have a reasonably good understanding of MMR, Antenatal Care (ANC), postpartum visits, the importance of basic immunizations, exclusive breastfeeding, infant care, and child development. However, there are still challenges in the areas of complementary feeding, proper breastfeeding techniques, and adequate nutrition intake, which require deeper knowledge, especially regarding the selection of nutritious foods. The conclusion of this study is that students' knowledge regarding maternal and child health is generally good but needs to be improved in several areas, particularly in complementary feeding (MP-ASI), proper breastfeeding techniques, and adequate nutrition intake.

Cholesterol is a component of fat or lipids. Fat is a nutrient that the body actually needs, but if cholesterol levels are high it can cause disease. Cholesterol sufferers in Indonesia are quite high, namely 28% and 7.9% of cases cause cholesterol sufferers in the world to die from this disease. If treated too late, high cholesterol will actually endanger health and can even lead to death. Methods have been developed for examining total cholesterol in the blood in the laboratory, namely enzymatic methods such as Cholesterol Oxidase Deaminase Peroxidase Aminoantipyrine (CHOD-PAP). The aim of this study was to determine the difference in cholesterol levels between immediate serum examination and serum whose examination was postponed. The research was carried out experimentally using a Time Series Design. From the results of the examination of 16 samples, cholesterol levels were obtained based on the Paired Sample T-Test. From the calculation results, namely 0.000, it can be concluded that there is a difference in the results of checking cholesterol levels immediately and with a delay of 24 hours.

Published: January 2025

The baseline susceptibility of eggplant fruit and shoot borer (Leucinodes orbonalis) populations in the Philippines to a Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac protein was evaluated using a diet-overlay bioassay. Infested fruits with larvae were collected from nine eggplant growing provinces in the Philippines during the 2012- 2013 crop growing seasons. L. orbonalis larvae were reared to adults on semi­synthetic diet, allowed to mate in the laboratory and produce eggs. The neonate larvae, from eggs of the field collected parents, were exposed to eight concentrations of Cry1Ac along with an untreated control and then assessed for mortality. The results showed that all L. orbonalis populations tested were susceptible to the Cry1Ac protein obtained from a bio insecticide that was used in the assay. Probit analyses of 35 bioassays of EFSB larvae collected from nine provinces showed that the median lethal concentrations (LC,.) ranged from 0.45 to 2.07 ng/cm2 while LC., values ranged from 65.10 to 1501.00 ng/cm2• lnterpopulation variation in susceptibility was 4.6-fold and 23-fold at the LC,. and LC., values, respectively. Linear Mixed Model and pairwise mean comparison analysis allowed pooling of the 35 bioassays data into four (4) groups. Effects of season and province for lethal concentrations (LCs) and the slope for each group were insignificant. The median lethal concentrations (LC,0) ranged from 0.88 to 1.54 ng/cm2 and the LC., values ranged from 119.23- 470. 73 ng/cm2which represented a <2-fold and 4-fold variation in susceptibility, respectively. The results obtained in this study will be continued to generate more reliable estimates of the LC,, values which can be considered for development of diagnostic concentrations in resistance monitoring.

Amyloidosis is a systemic disorder, characterized by the deposition of misfolded proteins in the extracellular matrix. Primary amyloidosis (AL) is a subtype in which immunoglobulin light chains, undergo the same misfolding and deposition process and are produced by an excessive production of plasma cells, similar to multiple myeloma. As AL can affect multiple organs, it is rather common for AL patients to present with haemostatic associated abnormalities. In this article, we focused on providing a better insight into hemostatic events in the studied population. Patients who presented with bleeding or thrombosis underwent both global hemostasis tests (PT, aPTT, fibrinogen, DDimers) and specialised hemostasis tests (thrombelastography, thrombin generation time, platelet aggregation). Even if the global tests did not provide conclusive results, the specialised ones managed to unmask, under what is widely considered to be a normocoagulant profile, an accentuated production of thrombin,evaluated by increased values of the endogenous thrombin potential produced, of the maximum amplitude of it’s generation and a hypercoagulant profile revealed by thrombelastography. This hypercoagulant profile tends to be associated with renal failure in patients concerned. At the opposite pole, the evaluation of bleeding events, in the context of liver failure, was highlighted by representative modifications of specialised hemostasis tests. Additionally, the evaluation of the impact that light chains have on type IV collagen was attempted through platelet aggregometry, but with results that were difficult to interpret. Complementary to the aggregation function, platelet adhesion was studied by performing an ex-vivo experiment, that tries to better integrate some of the intricate interactions between type IV collagen and serum from a AL patient. As a general conclusion, thrombotic events were better put into perspective and more comprehensive medical care can be adjusted for these patients accordingly. On the other hand when studying bleeding phenomena, the methods used may give a theoretical perspective, but ultimately the results need to be backed up with more accurate research methods and a strong correlation must be observed between them.

Objectives: HDFN is caused by maternal alloantibodies against foetal erythrocytes that might cause morbidity and mortality in the foetus and newborn. Our study aims to investigate the incidence of Haemolytic disease of foetus and newborn (HDFN), Direct Coomb’s test (DCT), cord blood and to identify the eluted antibodies in those patients. Besides, to evaluate the adapted protocol regarding Rosette and Kleihauer Betke test. Methods/Materials: A retrospective study of all newborns with positive DCT using cord blood samples. Descriptive data were analyzed as frequency and percentage or mean and range. Bivariate analysis for categorical variables was done using chi square or fisher exact test. The p value was at 95% confidence interval. All statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 29. Outcomes: The commonest cause of positive cord blood DCT in newborn babies without evidence of haemolysis was due to ABO, RH and Kell blood groups’ mismatch between mothers and their babies. Correlation analysis of positive DCT with hemolysis parameters in the babies was unremarkable with insignificant p. value. We found no significant correlation between HDFN and hemoglobin level, Reticulocyte count, and serum bilirubin. The only significant correlation was between the positivity of DCT and anti RhD eluted antibodies with p=0.02. Conclusion: The commonest cause of positive cord blood DCT in newborns without evidence of hemolysis was due to ABO, Rh and Kell blood groups’ mismatch. DCT positivity has significant correlation with anti RhD eluted alloantibodies. We suggest considering RhD alloantibodies a predictive tool to initiate prophylactic management for preventing susceptible haemolytic events in newborns.

Published: January 2025

The FIFA World Cup's cultural impact extends beyond sporting achievement, fundamentally
transforming host nations through complex social and institutional dynamics. This study
examines these transformative mechanisms, with particular emphasis on Qatar 2022 as the first
Middle Eastern host nation, analysing how mega-sporting events influence cultural evolution
while preserving indigenous values. Through systematic historical analysis of five World Cup
tournaments (2002-2018), the research identifies patterns of cultural impact and transformation
across multiple societal dimensions. The findings reveal three primary vectors of cultural
transformation: institutional reform initiatives, social integration processes, and strategic
international perception management. Comparative analysis of previous hosts - South
Korea/Japan (2002), Germany (2006), South Africa (2010), and Brazil (2014) - demonstrates
how nations leveraged the tournament to address historical grievances, reshape global
narratives, and catalyse domestic social reform. Each case study reveals distinct approaches to
cultural transformation, from Germany's confrontation with historical legacy to South Africa's
post-apartheid reconciliation efforts. Qatar's preparation introduces novel paradigms for
balancing traditional cultural preservation with international standards, particularly evident in
labour rights reform, infrastructure development, and cultural diplomacy initiatives. The
research identifies critical success factors for cultural transformation through mega-sporting
events: sustained institutional commitment to reform, strategic integration of cultural elements
in infrastructure development, and proactive management of international perceptions. Qatar's
experience provides insights into how host nations can challenge stereotypes while maintaining
cultural authenticity. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of mega-sporting
events as catalysts for cultural change, extending beyond sports management to international
relations and cultural diplomacy. The findings establish a framework for analysing how such
events facilitate cultural transformation while preserving host nation identities. Results indicate
that successful cultural change requires sustained commitment beyond the tournament
timeframe, with significant implications for future host nations and international sporting
organizations.

Las Normas Internacionales de Auditoría para Entidades Menos Complejas (NIAs-EMC) representan un conjunto especializado de lineamientos diseñado para adecuar el proceso de auditoría a las particularidades de entidades con una reducida estructura adiministrativa. Estas entidades, que incluyen pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes), organizaciones sin fines de lucro y algunas instituciones gubernamentales, generalmente operan con estructuras más simples y enfrentan riesgos financieros y de control reducidos en comparación con organizaciones más grandes. Por lo tanto, buscan adaptar los procedimientos generales de auditoría a las necesidades y recursos limitados de estas empresas, sin comprometer la calidad ni la confiabilidad del trabajo. Uno de los principales objetivos de las NIAs-EMC es simplificar el proceso de auditoría, pues en lugar de aplicar los requerimientos amplios y detallados que se utilizan en auditorías de entidades con operaciones complejas (NIAs regulares), estas normas: I) Proporcionan un enfoque más accesible y eficiente; y II) Eliminan ciertos requisitos que, aunque son necesarios para auditar grandes corporaciones, no resultan relevantes o prácticos en el contexto de entidades más pequeñas. Este enfoque produce que la función de auditoría sea proporcional a la complejidad de la entidad, lo que resulta en un proceso más efectivo y manejable tanto para los auditores como para los clientes.

Published: January 2025

Due to the progressing complexity of modern energy systems, the need to forecast energy consumption and generation, optimise processes and develop new technologies in the energy sector, analyse scenarios for the development of energy systems and elaborate a strategy for their development, modelling and simulation is of particular relevance in this industry. The growing need to improve the productivity of computer simulation in the energy industry is effectively addressed by utilising modern computer architectures and advanced software tools that provide acceleration for computationally intensive tasks. Research presented in this paper focuses on enhancing the performance of computationally intensive algorithms using the Thomas algorithm by employing modern asynchronous programming techniques. The work implements classical and develops and implements asynchronous computational algorithms of the sweep method with subsequent assessment of the time and efficiency of their execution for the order of systems of linear equations (SLAEs) up to 5 × 107. The program code was developed using Microsoft Visual Studio C++ and the standard template for asynchronous programming. The numerical experiments showed the possibility of increasing of the implementation speed of the asynchronous algorithm by 1.87–2.91 times. Research results correspond with the literature data and the results previously obtained by the authors in similar studies using alternative parallel programming software. In general, the results of this study determine the potential for further improvement and development of methods and technologies for parallel implementation of computational tasks using the Tridiagonal Matrix Algorithm. These approaches can be extended to developing various computer models of energy processes and systems based on the solution of SLAEs with tridiagonal matrices on computers with multiprocessor or multi-core architectures.

Published: January 2025

Background: Nurse practitioners (NPs) entering the malignant hematology specialty often lack hematology-specific knowledge needed for practice; many have reported they want and need more hematology education. Deficiencies in hematology education stem from the minimal amount of hematology content included in NP programs and during job orientation. Knowledge deficits among NPs are associated with unpreparedness to practice and feelings of anxiety, insecurity, inadequacy, and guilt. Self-efficacy (SE) is a correlate to NP knowledge acquisition and competency development. Purpose: This was a process improvement effort to examine the impact of a malignant hematology education module on NP knowledge and SE to practice in malignant hematology. Methods: A convenience sample of 11 NP participants were recruited during onboarding to a hematology department in a tertiary care cancer hospital in Southern California. Participants completed an online learning module containing education about hematological malignancies. A pretest and posttest design using questionnaires was employed for data collection. Knowledge and SE scores obtained before and after the intervention were compared to assess for improvement. Results: Posttest NP knowledge scores increased by a mean of 2.4 points (20%; mean pretest: 7.1/12, posttest: 9.5/12), p < .05. Posttest scores for NP SE were similar to baseline (mean pretest: 32.6/40 points, posttest: 32.3/40), p > .05. Participants reported that the intervention was helpful in the onboarding process. Implications/Conclusion: The findings help establish the feasibility of a malignant hematology learning module in increasing knowledge for NPs during onboarding. Integrating an education module into NP job training may increase knowledge and preparedness to practice in malignant hematology.

De un total de 172 estudios identificados inicialmente, se seleccionaron 12 para un análisis profundo tras aplicar criterios de inclusión y exclusión específicos, priorizando investigaciones empíricas revisadas por pares relacionadas con el impacto de la IA en la objetividad científica. Los resultados destacan que la IA ha facilitado avances significativos en la recopilación, análisis e interpretación de datos, contribuyendo a una mayor precisión y eficiencia en la investigación. Sin embargo, emergen preocupaciones éticas y metodológicas relacionadas con la falta de transparencia en los algoritmos, sesgos inherentes a los datos y posibles efectos negativos en la autonomía del investigador. Se concluye que, si bien la IA representa un recurso valioso para la investigación científica, es crucial implementar regulaciones y prácticas responsables para mitigar riesgos éticos y garantizar la objetividad. Finalmente, se recomienda realizar estudios longitudinales para evaluar el impacto a largo plazo de la IA en diferentes disciplinas.

La simulación de maniobras en subestaciones eléctricas es una herramienta esencial en la formación de profesionales eléctricos y electromecánicos, proporcionando una experiencia práctica que complementa la teoría aprendida en el aula. Los módulos didácticos utilizados para este propósito deben ser eficientes, funcionales y fáciles de usar para maximizar su valor educativo. Sin embargo, muchos de estos módulos presentan problemas de organización y accesibilidad que pueden dificultar el aprendizaje. Este estudio se centra en la repotenciación y reorganización de un módulo didáctico para la simulación de maniobras de protección en subestaciones eléctricas con la configuración de doble barra con bypass; mejorando su funcionalidad y organización interna.La repotenciación del módulo comenzó con un diagnóstico inicial evaluando la funcionalidad y la constitución de circuitos internos. Posteriormente, se planificaron las mejoras necesarias, priorizando la organización del cableado y la reubicación de componentes clave; el peinado y la organización del cableado se llevaron a cabo para lograr un diseño más limpio y estructurado, facilitando la identificación de conexiones, reduciendo posibles errores durante las prácticas. Además, definieron sitios estratégicos como el módulo Bluetooth HC-06 y el Arduino Mega para la mejora de accesibilidad y funcionalidad del módulo.
Removal of Judges of the Higher Judiciary: A Comparative Study Between Bangladesh and India
Authors: Talha Md. Abu , Shefa Shawlin Jahan
Published: January 2025

democracy without the proper distribution of powers among the organs cannot be defined as a welfare state. Judiciary plays a significant prolegomenon as this organ is the guardian of the Supreme law in most of the constitutional democratic countries. Judges should be free from all sorts of pressure when discharging their duties. This paper has emphasized the judge’s removal procedure in Bangladesh and India and has tried to analyze the provisions regarding judges’ removal. In the case of the judge’s removal procedure in Bangladesh, the reader can find expert opinions regarding this issue as to how a judge of the apex court can be removed as the Appellate Division has declared the 16th amendment of the Constitution void, illegal and ultra-vires the Constitution. In case of India, provisions regarding judges’ removal are critically analyzed and the reader can see as to why not a single judge is removed in the history of India. This paper has endeavored to show the Provisions of judges’ removal in the light of Separation of power and Judicial Independence theory and practical scenario in Bangladesh and India. It has also compared the two legal systems regarding judges’ removal. Lastly, this research has found out the major problems and has proposed some possible recommendations.

Published: January 2025

Cornel Burtică was a high-ranking Communist leader during the 1960s and the 1970s. Born in 1931 in a poor peasant family, Burtică resented the social inequity during childhood and became drawn to the egalitarian communist ideas. Parallel to being a good student, he enrolled on party youth organization and no later than 1949 he became a secretary of the high school U.T.M. committee. He studied at the Faculty of Geology and Electromechanics. After graduation, Burtică embarked on an academic career and worked as a university assistant at the Institute of Oil, Gas and Geology. Later on, he earned a PhD in world economics. At the beginning of the 1960s, Burtică started his diplomatic career being assigned as counsellor at the Romanian Embassy in Paris. In 1966, he was appointed ambassador to Italy, Morocco and Malta. On his return, he was appointed Ministry of Foreign Exchange during 1969-1972 and 1978-1982. Politically, Burtică advanced in the party hierarchy. In February 1960 he was elected secretary of C.C. of U.T.M. and president of the National Council of U.A.S.R. Ten years later, he was already a member of the C.C. of P.C.R., and in 1972 he was in charged with propaganda, and also became a suplimentary member of C.C. Executive Committee. The peak of his political career registered in 1977, when he was appointed member of the C.P.Ex Permanent Committee, and vice prime minister of the government. Burtică was removed from state and party positions in 1982 due to charges of abuses that damaged the national economy. He was downranked and appointed director of the „1 Mai” factory in Ploiesti, until 1990.
Umbrella Review of Quadriceps Muscle - Knee Osteoarthritis Associations: A Case Where Research Diversity Continues to Obscure Clear Cohesive Clinical Understandings
Authors:   Osteoarthritis Research Center, Willowbrook-Charnwood Postal Depot, Markham, Ont L3T, 5H3, Canada, Marks Ray
Published: January 2025

Background: Knee joint osteoarthritis, a highly disabling chronic disease with no distinctive cause currently persists unabated among many older adults as well as younger adults. Largely attributed to non-modifiable underpinnings of age, injury, weight status, and genetics, various forms of localized modifiable attributes of muscle dysfunction may however be implicated

Aim: Building on prior comprehensive reviews, here we strove to uncover any novel 2024-2025 research highlights concerning the key knee extensor functional complex termed the quadriceps femoris muscle given the belief that its decreased strength is a key knee osteoarthritis disabling factor.

Methods: The 2024/5 PUBMED data base and others aligned with this topic were searched carefully to uncover and identify any new clinically relevant insights concerning the natural history of knee joint osteoarthritis.

Results: Even though more than 100 studies within the desired 2024 topical theme prevails, most fail to uncover or affirm any distinctive pathogenic role for the knee extensor muscles in the knee osteoarthritis disease cycle. Moreover, the diverse study themes, designs, research questions, methods, and conclusions remain key challenges to aggregate and apply clinically to prevent the disease or its severity.

Conclusion: Examining knee extensor muscle parameters closely and how their attributes mediate joint viability and function appears promising, but await further study.
