Authors: Gohil Riddhi , Tilaye Prajakta
Published: February 2022

Background: Calf muscle is important in the typical gait cycle, jumping, running, and maintaining balance. Tightness limits movement, which can result in injuries or a reduction in task efficiency. Calf muscles flexibility is therefore crucial. No normative range is available for calf muscle flexibility in its functional position. As a result, the goal of this study is to provide normative data using weight bearing lunge test that evaluates tightness in functional position. Results of males and females were compared.
Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted on 215 people aged 20 to 30 years (males=100, females=115). Each participant completed a weight-bearing lunge test after giving consent. For each limb, three trials were given, with the best of the three findings used to analyze the data. Using descriptive analysis, a normative range was produced for both limbs of each gender. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the normative ranges.
Results: Females’ normative ranges are 12.1–13.4 cm and 12.7–13.9 cm with a mean and standard deviation of 12.7 ± 3.3 and 13.3 ± 3.4 for the right and left limb respectively. Males' typical ranges are 13.6cm to14.9 cm and 13.9cm to 14.9 cm with a mean and standard deviation of 14.2 ± 3 and 14.4 ± 2.7 for right and left limb respectively. Male and female normative ranges were found to differ significantly: right (p=0.0068) and left (p=0.0331).
Conclusion: Our findings give normative data for calf muscle flexibility in both genders, as well as a comparison of these findings.

Key words: weight bearing lunge test, calf muscle, flexibility, normative range, functional position.

The advent of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the coronavirus disease it causes has engulfed the entire world, causing serious health concerns. This is a zoonotic infection, similar to other coronavirus infections that are thought to have started in bats and pangolins before being passed on to people. This coronavirus multiplies rapidly once inside the human body. This coronavirus is abundantly present in nasopharyngeal and salivary secretions of afflicted patients once inside the human body, and its dissemination is assumed to be primarily through respiratory droplet/contact. Dental professionals are most likely to encounter patients with SARS-CoV-2 illness, and they will need to be cautious not just in providing care but also in preventing nosocomial infection spread. In addition, special suggestions for patient screening, infection control techniques, and patient care procedures are made for the dentistry office.

Diagnosis and Pharmacological Management of Parkinson’s Disease: A Review
Authors: Almanbekova Aiperi
Published: February 2022

Parkinson's disease is a common and progressive neurological illness affecting persons aged 55 to 65. Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurological disorder. It has the potential to result in considerable impairment and a low quality of life. However, symptomatic medications may assist patients in living more comfortably. Apart from distal resting tremor and stiffness, the condition manifests itself via bradykinesia and an asymmetric start. Progressive motor and non-motor symptoms have a detrimental effect on an individual's overall quality of life. Non-motor symptoms are increasingly gaining recognition. It might be difficult to treat both motor and non-motor complaints. As a result, primary care physicians should be capable of diagnosing and treating Parkinson's disease. The article examines various healthcare practitioners' diagnosis accuracy and their use of multiple diagnostic procedures to differentiate Parkinson's disease from other comparable illnesses. There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, although there are treatments. On the other hand, it examines non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Drug-induced dyskinesia is a side effect of levodopa, the primary Parkinson's disease medication. Treatment with a dopamine agonist initially alleviates motor problems. Alternative medications (monoamine oxidase type B inhibitors (MAOBIs), amantadine, anticholinergics, b-blockers, or dopamine agonists) may be provided first to avoid levodopa-related motor difficulties. Modifying the levodopa dosage or adding MAOBIs or dopamine agonists may assist in regulating motor fluctuations. Primary care doctors will benefit from this article's focus on early diagnosis and pharmaceutical treatment of Parkinson's disease's characteristic motor symptoms. Parkinson's disease-related motor symptoms may be treated with levodopa and dopamine agonists, according to several trials. No evidence exists to back up alternative treatments for motor or non-motor symptoms. A subspecialist's opinion is often sought.

Background: Elderly is an age group that is prone to sepsis and is sometimes difficult to enforce because signs of inflammation rarely appear. Procalcitonin is a specific marker for bacterial infection in the elderly and can be a sign of the severity of sepsis and can be used as a predictor of septic death in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between procalcitonin levels and mortality in elderly septic patients.
Methods: This study was an analytic observational study with a retrospective cohort design. Data were obtained from the patient's medical records. To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of procalcitonin values ​​in sepsis patients, statistical analysis of receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curves was used with significant results if the ROC curve value was more than 50%. To determine the procalcitonin value with outcome, Chi-square test was performed. The data was processed with SPSS version 22.0. The test results are said to be meaningful if the p value <0.05.
Results: The subjects of this study amounted to 52 people who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The median value of the age of the subjects was 66 (60-87) years with the most male subjects 51.92%. The diagnosis of severe sepsis was 48.08% followed by 29.62% sepsis and 25% septic shock. Subjects died as many as 27 subjects (51.92%). Hemoglobin level 11.3 g/dl; leukocytes 15.26.103/ml; platelets 150.103/ml and the value of procalcitonin 12.42 mcg/dl. The procalcitonin ROC curve showed that procalcitonin had a good predictor value (AUC 79.7%; p value 0.001), the procalcitonin value was 12.67 mcg/dl. Procalcitonin levels >12.67 mcg/dl died in 12 (75%) patients while elderly patients with procalcitonin levels <12.67 mcg/dl died in 6 (25%) patients. The chi-square test got a p value of 0.001 (RR 3 CI 95% 1.453-6.196).

Physical Therapy and Manipulation under Anesthesia for Patients with Frozen Shoulder
Authors: Meregawa Putu Feryawan , Nolan John
Published: February 2022

Frozen Shoulder (FS) has been a common disease that causes notable morbidity. Conservative treatments starting from oral medication, physical therapy, exercise, steroid injection, and hydrodilatation can be chosen before surgical procedure. Recently, there are many arguments regarding the manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) procedure whether it is good or bad compared to physical therapy. This paper is done by reviewing and searching journals with “frozen shoulder”, “physical therapy”, “manipulation under anesthesia”, and “conservative” on the search engines. From 47 journals that were reviewed, 45 were found composed as references for this review. There is no exact consensus from few pieces of literature to define which FS patients will benefit the most following the MUA procedure. Physical therapy or home exercise is still the first-line treatment for FS. Most of the cases showed that this first line of treatment is capable of resolving FS. physical therapy has its place in every phase of the FS, starting from the freezing until the thawing phase. Physical therapy remains the key and core choice of treatment in treating the patient with FS. It seems that physical therapy still the most important treatment to be applied as most of the studies reported satisfaction alongside the combination of other conservative treatments.

Keywords: frozen shoulder, physical therapy, manipulation under anesthesia, conservative.

The role of teachers and parents in facilitating children when providing learning stimuli through their experiences needs to be designed and arranged in such a way that all aspects of children's development can develop optimally, therefore there is a need for educational game tools as learning facilities for early childhood. APE innovation socialization was carried out to RA teachers in Plered and Tegalwaru sub-districts in two stages, namely presentation and training, the first stage was in the form of exposure to the importance of APE in the learning process in early childhood, the second stage was training involving participants in carrying out APE innovation-making activities in developing all aspects early childhood development. Based on the results of the analysis of the interview and observation data, it was revealed that the creativity of teachers in making APE innovations could increase not only by providing material but also participants being directly involved in the manufacturing process and sharing innovations with colleagues so that innovation could develop.

Quality of agricultural extension on productivity of farmers: Human capital perspective
Authors: Tamsah Hasmin , Yusriadi Yusriadi
Published: February 2022

The relationship between agricultural extension and farmer productivity has been widely discussed; agricultural extension directly or indirectly affects farmer productivity. In this study, the researchers attempted to elaborate on this matter by looking at it from the rural wing based on the human resource and human capital theory. This study uses a quantitative explanatory approach. The analytical tool used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) as a fundamental data analysis using AMOS software. The population in this study were all agricultural extensions in South Sulawesi and West Sulawesi. The sample was taken using the accidental sampling technique; it included only the completed questionnaire in the data analysis. Until the time limit, only 122 agricultural extension people filled out the questionnaire and were declared complete. Research shows that rural extension has a significant positive effect on soft-skill competence and not substantial on farmer productivity. Furthermore, soft-skill competence significantly affects farmer productivity and is a good mediator in increasing farmer productivity. The results show that it could improve farmers' productivity, not because of direct extension but because the farmers' soft competence increased due to interventions from the quality of agricultural extension workers. Therefore, good quality agricultural extension agents will encourage the rural farmers' ability to solve problems. Make systematic planning and communication skills that will help them build relationships with colleagues and stakeholders, improve ethics, discipline, increase their skills and experience.
The impact of supply chain capability and supply chain performance on marketing performance of retail sectors
Authors: Rombe Elimawaty , Hadi Suryadi
Published: February 2022

To increase competitive advantage, any company needs to improve its supply chain management. The aim of this study is to define the relationships between supply chain capability, supply chain performance and marketing performance. Some of the retail stores are no longer operating. Tool of analysis is the partial least square that is suitable for small sample size. The result of PLSSmart 3.0 shows that the relationship between supply chain capability and supply chain performance is positive and significant. However, the relationship between supply chain performance and marketing performance is positive but non-significant. Direct relationship between supply chain capability and marketing performance appears to be positive and significant. Indirect relationship between supply chain capability and marketing performance through supply chain performance also appears to be non-significant. The study can be a reference for retail managers to increase the supply chain in their marketing performance. Some further research needs to add other variables to see a more concrete relationship between supply chain capability and marketing performance.

In Malaysia, manufacturing industry is a major contributor to the economic advancement. As a result, cutting-edge technology like the internet of things (IoT) is projected to have a significant impact on business operations and supply chain management (SCM). However, research into the influence of IoT deployment on supply chains and organizational performance is relatively sparse. Therefore, this study is to determine the relationship between benefits and challenges of IoT adoption and organizational performance. Furthermore, this study looks into the mediating role of supply chain performance in the relationship between IoT adoption benefits and challenges and organizational performance. The population of this study is comprised of 3019 manufacturing companies in Malaysia, while the minimum sample size needed is 43 manufacturing companies.1160 complete set of survey questionnaire were distributed through email and 63 responses received representing five per cent of response rate. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is used to assess all of the study's hypotheses. The results of this paper support six out of the seven hypotheses tested. In conclusion, the manufacturing industry in Malaysia needs to be exposed more to the benefits of IoT rather than keep discussing its challenges. This study can be a guideline to the manufacturing companies in decision making for IoT adoption. The limitations and recommendation for future study is highlighted.

Published: February 2022

Recently, environmental protection is emerging as global warming is becoming an increasing issue of concern worldwide. In addition, the world society has shifted its preference from the conventional product to the environmental-friendly product. But, on the contrary, the manufacturing industry management is still in doubt whether the green practices benefit the company, given that it requires a lot of capital investment and culture change. This study examines the impact of top management commitment on competitive advantage with the mediating role of supplier integration, customer integration, and green innovation. The data collection used a questionnaire designed with a five-point Likert scale to measure the objective opinion of the respondents against the item statement by choosing the predetermined measurement scale starting with 1: strongly disagree up to 5: strongly agree. Questionnaires were created in Google Form link and distributed to 600 respondents via email, WhatsApp groups, and Facebook. This survey received 285 responses (response rate 47.50%) considered valid for further analysis. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using the partial least square (PLS) technique using SmartPLS software version 3.0. The result revealed that top management commitment directly influences supplier integration, green innovation, customer integration. Top management commitment did not directly affect competitive advantage. Instead, competitive advantages were affected by supplier integration, green innovation, and customer integration. Similarly, green innovation was supported by supplier integration and customer integration. In addition, top management commitment indirectly affects competitive advantage through supplier integration, green innovation, and customer integration. This result implies that top management commitment plays a vital role and has multiple effects in enhancing competitive advantage through establishing strategy and policies. This result provides a practical contribution on how the manufacturing companies could improve competitive advantage and at the same time concerns the environmental protection through green innovation. This study could also enrich and extend the acceptance of the recent research in the context of the manufacturing industry. Finally, this work has some limitations, particularly regarding the population and the variables involved. Further studies on the current topic are suggested to apply the variables such as digital and technology capability as these issues are currently in the growing stage. Future research is also suggested to cover a broader population such as the service and health industry.
