Published: January 2025

The research was conducted on a sample of 464 students, of which 241 were male and 223 were female, aged 10-15, who attend upper grades of elementary school in Novi Sad, with the aim of determining the existence of statistically significant differences in some morphological and motor characteristics (body height, body mass, body mass index, explosive and repetitive strength) of elementary school students who have been involved in sports for up to one year and more than one year and those who do not play sports, determining the impact of playing sports on tested performance. Research has proven that students who play sports for more than a year are better in the test for assessing the repetitive strength of the abdominal muscles (sit-ups test) on average by 2.68 more attempts than nonathletes and 2.60 more attempts than athletes who have been training for less than one year. In the test of the explosive power of the lower extremities (long jump), it was determined that, on average, athletes with more than one year of experience are 18.13 cm better than students who do not play sports, and 13.43 cm better than students who have been training for less than one year. Students who do not play sports have statistically significantly lower values than students who train for more than one year, in Body Mass by an average of 3.68 kg and Body Mass Index by an average of 1.10 kg/m2, as an indicator of the level of nutrition. The obtained research results indicate a positive influence of the training process on improving the tested motor skills of students who, in addition to attending physical education classes, regularly attend training sessions of certain sports disciplines.

Published: January 2025

Today, one of the most common diseases affecting the elderly population, more frequently women than men, is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by the loss of bone tissue and is one of the most common complications of aging. The causes of osteoporosis are numerous, including deficiencies in vitamins and minerals in the diet, hormonal imbalances, and lack of physical activity. Adapted physical activity is individually planned and tailored to the psychophysical capabilities of the person and the goals to be achieved. Therefore, the aim of this study was a systematic review of previously published research that examined the effects of adapted physical activities in the prevention of osteoporosis in the elderly. During the collection of previous research, internet search engines "Google Scholar," "PubMed," and the academic network "ResearchGate" were used. This study adopted a systematic approach using PRISMA. Adapted physical activity in youth aims to build the best possible bones, in adulthood to maintain bone mass, and in older age to prevent the loss of bone density, reduce the risk of falls, and fractures. Adapted physical activities for the elderly contribute to maintaining bone mass and improving the quality of life.

Published: January 2025

In the late nineteenth century, the Sokol gymnastics system found its supporters among the Slovenes, Croats and Serbs in the Kingdom of Serbia. With the establishment of the Serbian Sokol Society in Karlovci in 1904, Serbian Sokol movement in Austria-Hungary gained a strong support and driving force. With their activity, the newly formed sokol societies had a strong impact on the youth in the near and far surroundings, and soon Serbian Sokol societies were also founded in Sremska Mitrovica, Zemun, Ruma, Irig, Vinkovci, Zagreb, etc. After the establishment, the elder Dr. Laza Popović accepted the proposal of Tihomir Ostojić, a professor of the Novi Sad Gymnasium, on the celebration of the national holiday Vidovdan in the spirit of chivalry and gymnastics. Members of the sokol movement used to gather on Vidovdan from 1905 until the beginning of the Great War. In 1906, the head of the Karlovac sokol society launched the sokol magazine "Srpski Soko," with the aim of supporting the development of the Serbian Sokol movement. The magazine was published in the period from 1906 until 1911, and afterwards the publication thereof continued in Belgrade under the title "Srpski sokolski glasnik" (Serbian Sokol Herald). After the Bosnia crisis i.e., the annexation of Bosnia, and the end of the persecution of sokol movement members, Karlovac Sokol society provided help and support and participated in the founding of the Serbian Sokol parish of Krajina and the Serbian Sokol parish of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the beginning of the Balkan Wars, the Austro-Hungarian authorities forbade the work of sokol movement in the monarchy until 1914. At the very beginning of the Great War, some of the leaders of the Karlovac Sokol society were arrested and accused of "high treason," while some members were killed or died in the camps of Austria-Hungary. In the post-war period, the heads of the Karlovac Sokol society contributed to the unification of the sokol movement in Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia into one alliance. In their further work, between the two wars, they continued with the gathering of youth and the development of the sokol movement. The aim of this study was to determine how the Karlovac sokol society contributed to the development of the Serbian and Yugoslav sokol movement. The historical method was used in this research.

Pickleball is a racket sport that originated in the United States. It can be played individually or in pairs. In the last decade its practice has experienced a remarkable growth, expanding rapidly from the United States to Europe. The aim of this study is to analyse the temporal structure of the sport of pickleball. To carry out this research, an ad hoc observational tool composed of a notational system was designed using LINCE Plus 2.1 software. Two experienced observers with a high reliability index (k-index >0.9) observed the matches corresponding to the men's and women's finals of the Pickleball World Championship 2023 (USA). The time variables recorded in this study were total playing time (TT), real playing time (PT) and rest time (RT), which included breaks between points and between games as well as requested time-outs. The results obtained indicate a TT of 35.2 min for the men's competition and 44.8 min for the women's competition. The PT values were 15±11.6 s for men and 10.6±5.2 s for women, while the RT values were 14±8.4 s for men and 11.4±6.5 s for women. Statistically significant differences were found in all the time variables analysed (p<0.05). The total duration of the matches is longer in the women's competition; however, the men's competition has higher activity and rest times than the women's competition. The time parameters studied are very interesting markers to analyse more accurately the physical, metabolic and physiological requirements necessary in pickleball.

This study investigates the association between internal (IL), external load (EL) and performance measures (PM) in vertical jump sessions, employing two set structure methods: traditional (TSS) and cluster (CSS). The study involved 16 (M = 8; W = 8) physically active participants. Vertical jump sessions comprised 144 jumps divided into 12 sets, with a fixed number of 12 jumps per set for the TSS and varying for the CSS (from 6 to 18 jumps). EL variables (i.e., number of jumps, total vertical distance, average jump height relative to the maximum height, 88% of body mass, and sum of maximal power), subjective IL (i.e., rate perceived exertion for legs and breath, rating of perceived recovery), objective IL (i.e., heart rate) and PM (i.e., percentage of decreasing of maximal jumping height) assessments were employed. Subjective variables of the IL achieved a very high association with EL variables for both applied set structures (r=0.71-0.92). In contrast, objective variable of IL generally displayed a weaker relationship, ranging from small (r=0.11-0.20) for the CSS to moderate and high (r=0.69-0.75) for TSS. Finally, PM demonstrated trivial to moderate relationship with EL and IL variables (r=0.00-0.36), independent of the set structure. The results highlight the intricate relationship between IL, EL, and PM during bodyweight power training, with subjective variables showing exceptionally high associations across set structures. The choice of set structure significantly influences the correlation between IL, EL and PM, emphasizing the need for coaches to consider set structure when optimizing training strategies.

Authors: Ilić Igor , Miletić Vladimir , Rajković Željko
Published: January 2025

The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in skiing has revolutionised performance optimisation, safety, and sustainability in the sport. This paper explores the transformative applications of ICT, particularly focusing on tools such as GPS trackers, wearable motion sensors, and avalanche detection systems, which provide real-time data for refining techniques, improving biomechanics, and enhancing risk management. Advanced sensors enable precision in biomechanical analysis, aiding athletes in skill refinement and injury prevention. Similarly, wearable safety tools, such as transceivers and GPS-enabled trackers, have significantly improved hazard prediction and rescue operations, though challenges like extreme weather performance and accessibility persist. ICT's role extends to environmental sustainability, highlighting the need for eco-friendly designs to mitigate electronic waste generated by non-recyclable components. Despite its benefits, the widespread adoption of ICT in skiing is hindered by high costs, technical limitations, and sociocultural barriers. Risks such as over-reliance on technology, psychological dependency, and data privacy concerns further complicate its implementation. The future of ICT in skiing lies in advancements like artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and sustainable innovations, promising improved integration, safety, and accessibility. This paper underscores the need for balanced ICT adoption, combining technical innovation with environmental responsibility and skier education, ensuring that the advantages of ICT enhance skiing while respecting its physical and ecological challenges.
Comparsion of muscle damage in professional and amateur soccer players following repeated sprint test
Authors: Sekulić Željko , Dragosavljević Slavko , Ilić Nikola
Published: January 2025

The research aimed to assess the difference in muscle damage between professional and amateur soccer players after a repeated sprint test. Thirty male soccer players (15 amateurs and 15 professionals) underwent a 6x30meter sprint test with 20-second intervals between sprints. The objective was to determine muscle damage based on the concentration of blood enzymes (CK and LDH). Results showed a significant increase in CK and LDH enzyme concentrations after the test, with amateurs exhibiting slightly higher values before the test, but differences decreased after the test. Professional players had similar or slightly lower enzyme values before the test, but post-test levels were comparable or slightly higher compared to amateurs. Analysis also revealed similar trends in CK and LDH enzyme elevation between the two groups, with minimal or insignificant differences. The findings suggest that the repeated sprint test may induce muscle damage in both types of players, but differences between professional and amateur players were not significant. This study provides insight into the potential effects of testing on muscle health in soccer players and indicates the need for further research to better understand the factors influencing muscle damage in this context.
Association of matrix metalloproteinases and adhesive molecules with important aspects of carotid artery stenosis
Authors: Ružanović Ana
Published: January 2025

Background: As symptom risk assessment in carotid artery stenosis (CAS) could be improved by parameters that reflect additional risk aspects such as chronic inflammation rate, and atherosclerotic activity on a systemic level, we investigated the association of serum matrix metalloproteinases-2,7,9 (MMP-2,7,9), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and selectins-P and E with symptomatic status, stenosis degree and plaque morphology in CAS patients in order to select parameters that associate to important clinical determinants of the symptom development risk.
Methods: The study included 119 CAS patients and 46 healthy subjects. Carotid arteries were examined by color flow Doppler and B-mode Duplex ultrasound. Serum parameters were assessed using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Difference was tested by Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis and Chi-square tests, and Spearman’s correlation was tested.
Results: MMP-7 and selectin-P levels were higher in CAS than in controls (p<0.001). Positive correlation with stenosis degree was found for MMP-7 (r=0.155, p=0.007), VCAM-1 (r=0.127, p=0.029) and selectin-P (r=.269, p<0.001). MMP-7 and selectin-P were higher in subjects with Grey-Weale 2, comparing to subjects with Grey-Weale 3 plaques (p=0.036, p=0.009). Selectin-P was lower in the presence of Grey-Weale 4 than in Grey-Weale 2 (p=0.045).
Conclusions: Concurrent association of MMP-7 and selectin-P with both stenosis degree and carotid plaque morphology shows the joint influence of these important determinants of symptom risk that is reflected in serum parameters. This indicates that they can supply additional information outside ultrasound CAS assessment only, and their integration in a future multiscale approach for CAS risk prediction could be beneficial

Published: January 2025

La investigación formativa se ha instaurado como una de las competencias más sólidas en la formación académica de los estudiantes de pregrado universitario; entendiéndose por competencia la adquisición de habilidades y destrezas que se resume en el saber hacer. Como indica Perrenoud (2004), la competencia es la recopilación de habilidades, destrezas, actitudes y valores que enriquecen el conocimiento. Estas habilidades se van formando durante todo el proceso académico del estudiante en todos sus niveles. La enseñanza a través de la investigación tiene como primer significado, según Asis (2022), el explorar para encontrar la información. Para realizar el presente trabajo, las estudiantes, noveles en este campo, se implementaron en los conocimientos básicos de investigación y en la manera cómo acceder a las bases de datos. Se realizó una búsqueda acudiendo a base de datos en bibliotecas virtuales, libros y revistas indexadas y softwares de inteligencia artificial. Uno de los resultados más notables es la adquisición de habilidades en encontrar la información, lo que se considera un camino a la adquisición de competencias.

Authors: Velázquez González Argimiro , Pesántez Ñauta Diego Andrés
Published: January 2025

En la formación de estudiantes de Pedagogía de la Actividad Física y el Deporte, los valores de ayuda mutua, independencia y voluntad son esenciales para su desarrollo integral. La ayuda mutua fomenta la colaboración, permitiendo a los estudiantes trabajar en equipo y construir relaciones basadas en el apoyo colectivo, lo que refuerza tanto el aprendizaje técnico como las competencias interpersonales. Sin embargo, es crucial equilibrar este valor con el desarrollo de la autonomía para evitar una dependencia excesiva. La independencia, por su parte, es clave para formar profesionales con liderazgo y capacidad para tomar decisiones informadas en contextos complejos. Este valor promueve la autoconfianza y prepara a los estudiantes para gestionar responsabilidades de manera autónoma, aunque su desarrollo debe complementarse con el respaldo adecuado de los docentes. Finalmente, la voluntad impulsa a los estudiantes a perseverar frente a las dificultades, fortaleciendo su resiliencia y compromiso. Este valor, vinculado tanto al éxito académico como deportivo, ayuda a construir profesionales éticos y determinados. No obstante, la formación debe considerar el equilibrio entre esfuerzo y bienestar para evitar el agotamiento. En conclusión, integrar estos valores en el proceso educativo prepara a los futuros pedagogos para enfrentar retos, liderar y contribuir positivamente en sus comunidades, combinando habilidades técnicas con un enfoque ético y colaborativo.
Diabetes and Untoward Outcomes after ACL Reconstruction
Authors: Sievers Dennis , Prentice Heather A. , Chung Joanie , Davis Anna , Maletis Gregory B. , Navarro Ronald A.
Published: January 2025

Background

Diabetes affects approximately 536.6 million adults worldwide and 32.2 million in the United States. Prior studies across multiple specialties have reported the presence of diabetes is associated with adverse outcomes following surgical operations. While several studies have identified diabetes as a risk factor for adverse outcomes following ACL reconstruction (ACLR), literature evaluating the relationship between diabetes status and outcomes after ACLR is lacking.

Purpose

We aimed to study surgical outcomes following primary ACLR among patients with diabetes compared to those without diabetes.

Study Design

Retrospective Cohort Study

Methods

We conducted a cohort study using data from an integrated healthcare system’s ACLR registry. Patients aged ≥12 receiving a primary unilateral ACLR were included (2005–2020). Preoperative diabetes status was the exposure of interest. The two primary outcomes were revision surgery and ipsilateral reoperation following primary ACLR, modeled using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression that followed patients until an adverse event or loss to follow up. We also examined hospital readmission within 90 days post-surgery, modeled using logistic regression. All models compared patients with diabetes to those without diabetes, adjusting for age, gender, race, smoking status, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologist’s score, comorbid conditions, education level, income level, exercise, and graft type.

Results

There were 18,797 primary ACLR in the study sample with 383 (2.0%) occurring in patients with diabetes. The diabetes group exercised about 90 minutes less per week than the non-diabetes group. In unadjusted bivariate descriptive analyses, patients with diabetes had a lower rate of revision surgery (1.6% vs. 3.6%, p = 0.037) but a higher rate of ipsilateral reoperation (10.7% vs. 8.0%, p = 0.051). The 90-day readmission rate was higher among patients with diabetes compared to those without diabetes (1.8% vs. 0.7%, p = 0.016). However, after adjusting for covariates, these associations were no longer statistically significant.

Conclusion

After controlling for patient characteristics and other risk factors, the presence of diabetes was not associated with a higher risk of adverse events following primary ACLR.

The samples will be given three treatments: wastewater, recycled water, and well water (control). The research procedure includes device fabrication, testing, and evaluation. Data will be analyzed through pH, temperature, DO, TAN, metal content in water, plant growth, and Nile tilapia survival rate tests. Findings: Electrocoagulation as the initial stage of wastewater treatment aims to precipitate solid particles through redox reactions, while the adsorption stage using chitosan from green mussels is designed to effectively filter toxic metal ions. Subsequently, advanced filtration is performed to enhance filtering efficiency. In addition to environmental benefits, this innovation also offers economic potential through the use of green mussels to produce chitosan. Chitosan, with its cationic properties, non-toxic biological profile, and chemical reactivity, makes it an ideal adsorption agent. The management of this solution involves four main stages: 1) Planning stage (Plan); 2) Implementation stage; 3) Control stage (Check); 4) Action stage; Implementation. Conclusion: The recycled wastewater from tofu production is expected to support sustainable agriculture, serving as a substitute for main water sources, especially during the dry season. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research explores a sustainable solution for water pollution using electrocoagulation, adsorption, and filtration with green mussel shell chitosan, leveraging the economic potential of green mussels, and applying recycled water to agriculture and aquaculture.

Febrile seizures are a common disease in the practice of pediatric neurologists. Although most febrile seizures are benign and do not cause long-term complications, there is a potential risk of developing epilepsy, especially in children with certain risk factors. In this work, we tried to study possible risk factors and prediction of the development of epilepsy during febrile seizures in children. The main diagnostic criteria for including patients at risk for the development of epilepsy and prescribing planned anticonvulsant therapy are a high frequency of attacks with a focal component, an increase in the duration and severity of attacks with the patient’s age, and, in particular, the detection of epileptiform EEG activity (p=0.01) and structural changes in the brain during an MRI (p=0.05) in patients with febrile seizures, even with normal indicators of neurocognitive development.

Published: January 2025

This study evaluated the effectiveness of telemedicine application in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the context of emergency medical care. The study included patients who sustained TBIs as a result of road traffic accidents and were treated by the Republican Emergency and Urgent Medical Aid Center in Baku between 2015 and 2020. Comparative analyses were conducted on two patient groups: a retrospective group (2015-2017), where traditional medical care was used, and a prospective group (2018-2020), where telemedicine was employed for remote consultations. The results showed that the use of telemedicine significantly improved the treatment dynamics, particularly in stabilizing patients’ conditions and improving Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores. Statistical analysis demonstrated that patients who received remote assistance via telemedicine technology experienced faster recovery compared to those who received traditional treatment. Telemedicine also contributed to more accurate and timely decision-making in the process of patient evacuation and emergency care. Thus, this study confirms the importance and effectiveness of telemedicine in providing care for TBI patients, which could be applied to improve treatment outcomes in the future.

Published: January 2025

Perinatal asphyxia, which results in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), causes a number of clinical and biochemical changes that can adversely affect the outcome. Therefore, we set out to study the parameters of the acid-base state of the blood in full-term newborns with HIE who suffered perinatal asphyxia. For this purpose, we studied 120 full-term newborns, including 90 patients with HIE of varying severity who had suffered perinatal asphyxia. The results of the study showed a decrease in the partial pressure of pCO2 and pO2 and the level of blood oxygen saturation (sO2), hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia and a decrease in the concentration of bicarbonate HCO3.

Objectives
The aim of performing this audit is to observe and analyze record keeping and documentation of all the patients admitted to neurosurgery department in a tertiary care hospital in Peshawar Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan.
Materials and Methods
The audit cycle was conducted in a retrospective manner and data pertaining to all the admitted patients in neurosurgical department was collected from January 2018 to December 2022. A total of 1305 patients were enrolled in this audit admitted through OPD and emergency. The variables that were included in the audit cycle are the following: Name, age, gender, date of admission, medical record number (MR number), disease and the treatment given. Data was collected in a pre-designed proforma, added to Microsoft excel sheet and analyzed through SPSS software version 23.0. The data was described in the form of description, charts and tables.
Results
Out of 1305 patients enrolled in the study, we noticed that 1244 patient's (95%) names, 1079 (82.7%) hospital registration numbers, 1208 (99.5%) dates of admissions/discharges, 1252 (96%) genders and 99% of the diseases and procedures done were properly recorded. No record was available related to the address, contact numbers and occupations of the patients.
Conclusion
Despite having a few deficiencies, it is safe to conclude that most of the data pertaining to neurosurgery patients was properly recorded and kept in follow-up as shown by the results. We call attention to conducting audits on a regular basis that will further cover up the loopholes in data alimentation and improve our catalogue even further.

Background
The prevalence of periodontal disease in Indonesia reaches 74.1%. Treatment of gingivitis by administering NSAIDs has a side effect of gastritis. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic derived from natural ingredients are known to cause minimal side effects on the patient's body. The active compounds gingerol in ginger (Zingiber officinale) and quercetin in black cumin (Nigella sativa) are known to function as good anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.
Objectives
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of gingerol in ginger extract and qurcetin in black cumin as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic packaged in a mucoadhesion patch as a treatment for gingivitis.
Material and Methods
Preparations of gingerol and quercetin were obtained by biocomputation using the PyRx program, the Pymol program, the RCSB PDB website, the Lipinski rule of five page, the PDBSum website, and also the pkCSM website. Physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, toxicity, and molecular docking tests were carried out to determine the biocompatibility of the active ingredients used.
Results In the physicochemical tests, the compounds glycerol and quercetin can penetrate somatic cell membranes, have good solubility in water, can dissolve easily in the blood, are easily distributed in the body, and can maintain their position and bond strength with the target macro protein. The results of the AMES toxicity, Hepatotoxicity and skin sensitization tests showed negative values for both gingerol and quercetin. In the molecular docking test, the gingerol and quercetin compounds have a tendency to form bonds with COX-1 compared to arachidonic acid without having to increase the dose so that they become competitors to the native ligand.
Conclusion The active compounds gingerol in ginger extract (Zingiber officinale) and quercetin in black cumin extract (Nigella sativa) contained in Zahabba patch are good anti-inflammatory and analgesic by inhibiting the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as PGI2, PGE2, and TXA2 by being competitive inhibitor of the enzyme phospholipase A2 against membrane lipids and the enzyme cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) against arachidonic acid.

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) become important in recent years in research that enlightens the lives of people by meeting their daily electricity demand. This work focuses on shedding light on the utilization of renewable energy sources such as PV in some of the Libyan southern cities (Sebha, Murzuk, Ghat, Ubari, and Wadi Alshatti) to spread peace and avoid internal migrants. Libya with the help of the availability of resources of solar irradiance and wind speed, the load can be met along with reducing the deficit. The obtained green energy from RESs could play a substantial role in meeting Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) and Climate Action Goal 13 (CAG13) solutions. Hopefully, this study is expected to be a guideline to researchers in the field to assist them in their future studies. In this study, we compared five cities located in southern Libya in terms of global solar radiation, temperatures, and relative humidity, and also compared the productivity of PV modules for a full year by simulating 1 kW of PV modules in each city and the results were good for installing solar panel plants in the aforementioned cities.
