Energy Consumption and Energy Costs Based on Time-of- Day Tariffs in Seafood Processing Units in Kerala, India
Authors: Mary Saniya Stephen  , Shibu Arkkakadavil Valsalan  , Harikrishnan Mahadevan
Published: October 2024

Energy conservation in seafood processing is crucial due to the highly energy-intensive nature of its main stages such as pre-processing, processing, and storage, which must operate under cold chain conditions. The variability of energy tariffs based on Time of Day (TOD) significantly impacts the economic sustainability of these operations. This study evaluates the electrical energy consumption patterns of seafood processing units in South India, categorized by production capacity. Primary data were collected from 10 seafood processing units, assessing energy consumption during Normal Load Time (NLT), Peak Load Time (PLT), and Off-Peak Load Time (OLT) over a one-year period. Resultsrevealed that smaller capacity units (<30 T/D) accounted for 56% of total production during PLT, despite energy tariffs being highest during this time.These low-capacity units also exhibited higher mean energy consumption and costs compared to larger units, suggesting inefficiencies. The findings highlight the need for optimized energy management strategies, such as rescheduling production to lower-tariff periods and adopting more energy-efficient technologies. Implementing such measures could reduce energy costs and improve the overall profitability of seafood processing operations, particularly for smaller units.

Vibrio alginolyticus is an opportunistic fish pathogen with a potential to cause septicemia and often associated with other Vibrio infections, particularly Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and can pose a significant threat to aquatic health. This study investigated the biochemical and phylogenetic characteristics of V. alginolyticus isolated from various aquaculture farms, focusing on its prevalence, hemolysin genes, genetic relatedness, and antibiotic susceptibility. Out of 92 brackish water aquaculture farm samples, 16 isolates were biochemically confirmed as V. alginolyticus, with 12 subsequently confirmed by polymerase chain reaction targeting collagenase gene. Molecular analysis of the thermolabile hemolysin gene (tlh) via specific PCR amplified a 450 bp fragment in 8 isolates, confirming the presence of the tlh gene. Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) typing differentiated tlh-positive and tlh-negative V. alginolyticus isolates with 92% genetic similarity. The isolates exhibited proteolytic, lipolytic, and lecithinase activities. Notably, the isolates showed intermediate resistance to most of the tested antibiotics, indicating exposure to antimicrobial agents. This study provides evidence of the presence of similar phylogenetical isolates of V. alginolyticus and V. parahaemolyticus in aquatic environments. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the importance of expanding surveillance programs by incorporating strain-specific characterization to better understand and control vibriosis in aquaculture.
El espejo roto de Los alegres muchachos de Atzavara. El lector como coautor
Authors: Nallet Thierry
Published: October 2024

Este artículo propone una lectura de Los alegres muchachos de Atzavara (1987): una “novela de la memoria” en la que destacan técnicas narrativas, como el pluriperspectivismo y la polifonía, que piden la colaboración activa del lector. De hecho, esta novela funciona como un espejo realista, al tiempo que crea un efecto de contrapunto entre múltiples reflejos vinculados al periodo histórico, las conciencias o los personajes retratados, hasta tal punto que el espejo aparece en cierta medida “roto”. Así pues, la reflexión se centra en el papel del lector en esta novela, desde las teorías de la recepción, una especie de “coautor”, ya que a partir de la interpretación de un auténtico puzle tiene la difícil tarea de formarse una idea de lo que realmente pasó durante aquel verano de 1974. El juego de espejos inducido por la representación novelesca no solo subraya la dinámica propia de la búsqueda de reconstrucción y reconocimiento de un momento histórico clave, sino también el carácter movedizo y subjetivo de la memoria y la verdad, dos conceptos que se ponen en tela de juicio en esta novela testimonial de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to neurological damage that causes motor, sensory and autonomic neurologic functions decrease and/or loss. Evaluating the functionality of persons with SCI, especially in cases of incomplete injury, requires professional experience and skill. Objectives: This study aimed to gain a systematic overview of the functional assessment methods for SCI patients in the rehabilitation process. Search Methods: Systematic electronic searches were carried out using different databases from which 3489 registers were retrieved. Selection criteria: Studies that used tools to evaluate patients with SCI motor function as the manual test, Graded and Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensibility, and Prehension (GRASSP), ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS), Neuromuscular Recovery Scale (NRS), Walking Index SCI (WISCI), Walking Index SCI II (WISCI-II), functional independence measure (FIM) or Spinal Cord Independence Measurement III (SCIM-III). Reviews, animal studies, articles with more than ten years, theses and dissertations and/or out of the object of study were excluded. Data collection and analysis: Two experienced professionals searched the databases. All titles were read for the first selection. Afterward, the abstracts were read, and another number of articles were excluded. In the end, ten articles met the inclusion criteria of this study. Main results: We identified different tools used for the functional assessment of SCI persons, but 9 out of 10 studies did not detail the results by segment, and none presented a manual test for trunk evaluation. Robotic therapy combined with conventional therapy brings good results. Final Considerations: Ten studies that met inclusion criteria were identified. It was noticed that more in-depth studies are needed detailing the tests by segment, especially on trunk functionality in people with different levels of SCI.

La exposición a metales pesados, incluso en concentraciones relativamente bajas, representa un riesgo importante para la salud humana debido a la incapacidad fisiológica para metabolizar y excretar estos elementos de forma eficiente. Entre las enfermedades asociadas a esta exposición destaca el cáncer de riñón por su agresividad y la dificultad de su detección precoz. Los principales metales pesados relacionados con la carcinogénesis son el cadmio, el arsénico, el plomo y el mercurio, que tienden a acumularse en los tejidos, provocando estrés oxidativo, disfunción mitocondrial y daños en el ADN, creando un entorno propicio para la carcinogénesis. Los mecanismos patológicos, como la interferencia en la expresión del gen supresor de tumores p53 y la activación del factor inducido por la hipoxia (HIF-1), favorecen la progresión tumoral, especialmente en el carcinoma de células claras, un subtipo con una fuerte correlación con la toxicidad de los metales. La exposición crónica a estos elementos compromete las funciones celulares esenciales y se asocia a signos inespecíficos como la proteinuria y la hipertensión arterial, lo que dificulta el diagnóstico clínico. Desde el punto de vista del diagnóstico, técnicas como el análisis de orina tras la administración de agentes quelantes y pruebas de laboratorio detalladas, combinadas con métodos de imagen, son fundamentales para la detección precoz de la intoxicación por metales pesados y sus complicaciones. En los casos en que la carcinogénesis renal está avanzada, la biopsia renal revela alteraciones características como necrosis tumoral y fibrosis. La investigación utilizó metodología bibliográfica, revisando la literatura de los últimos cinco años en bases de datos como PUBMED y Google Scholar. La exposición ocupacional en sectores como la industria de baterías y la minería plantea importantes cuestiones legales sobre la responsabilidad de las empresas y la protección de los trabajadores. Para prevenir la contaminación y reducir la incidencia de neoplasias asociadas a la exposición crónica a metales pesados son esenciales políticas estrictas de vigilancia y control.
COMPREHENSIVE INJURY PREVENTION STRATEGIES FOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Authors: Da Fonseca Giulliana Iafrate
Published: October 2024

Injury prevention in football is a critical issue for athletes, coaches, and health professionals, given the sport's dynamic movements that elevate the risk of muscle and joint injuries. Effective strategies should incorporate specialized physical training and physiotherapeutic interventions to optimize player protection and performance. Preventive training programs, emphasizing muscle strengthening and proprioception, are essential for reducing injury risks. Specific exercises targeting the hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, and core enhance joint stability and mitigate overload injuries. Neuromuscular training, which includes balance exercises and plyometrics, improves proprioception and helps prevent falls and twists. Flexibility through regular stretching and dynamic warm-ups, such as the FIFA 11+, is crucial for preparing players physically and lowering injury incidence. Additionally, physiotherapists play a vital role in injury prevention through functional assessments to identify muscle imbalances and develop corrective exercise programs. Manual therapy techniques, joint stabilization exercises, and preventive rehabilitation further contribute to maintaining soft tissue quality and preventing muscle strains. Monitoring training load is another fundamental aspect of injury prevention, as abrupt changes in training intensity can lead to injuries. Using tracking technologies allows for better control of players' physical efforts. Studies indicate that implementing structured injury prevention programs significantly reduces injury rates and enhances athletic performance. Research highlights the importance of a multicomponent approach, individualized training, and load management to lower hamstring injuries. Collaboration among athletes, coaches, and health professionals is crucial to create a safe training environment. As football evolves, prioritizing injury prevention is essential for players' health, success, and career longevity.
FUE LA REFORMA AGRARIA UN BUEN INSTRUMENTO PARA EL DESARROLLO RURAL E INTEGRAL DEL AGRO BOLIVIANO?
Authors: Iriarte Fernando Alberto Quevedo
Published: October 2024

El presente artículo va a abordar un fenómeno socio económico cuyo peso ha cambiado definitivamente el curso de la historia boliviana, dicho fenómeno aún sigue teniendo peso específico ya que ha transformado al conjunto del país. Para concretar lo que ha significado la Reforma Agraria, podemos referirnos por ejemplo al impacto en la transformación de la vida rural y urbana, generando un crecimiento acelerado de los centros urbanos y los aspectos inherentes a este proceso que ha provocado improductividad, inseguridad alimentaria, impacto ambiental, incremento de los flujos migratorios del campo a la ciudad, entre otras. Para explicar estos fenómenos de improductividad y otros aspectos que acarrea una Reforma Agraria empezaré explicando las cuatro Reformas Agrarias que se implementaron en Bolivia. Este desarrollo a profundidad se puede encontrar en mi investigación de año sabático  (Quevedo, 2021, pág. 225). Orgánicamente, en la historia del país se han llevado a cabo cuatro reformas agrarias: la primera que reivindicaba el enunciado de que “la tierra es para quien la trabaja”, la segunda “la tierra es para el que puede comprarla”, por medio de la mercantilización del suelo agrícola, la tercera que plantea el “reconocimiento al derecho ancestral de los pueblos indígenas originarios a decidir sobre su destino”. Y la cuarta reforma queda implícita en las llamadas leyes incendiarias emitidas en varias gestiones de gobierno: ¨la tierra es de quien puede quemarla, ampliar la frontera agrícola y habilitarla para uso agrícola y/o agroindustrial”.

This integrative review examined the benefits and harms of the new weight-loss drugs, with an emphasis on GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide and liraglutide. These medications have demonstrated significant efficacy in inducing weight loss and controlling comorbidities associated with obesity. Studies, including Brazilian research, indicate that these drugs can promote a reduction in body weight of up to 12% in obese patients, in addition to substantial improvements in metabolic parameters, such as blood glucose and blood pressure. However, the most frequent adverse effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, have been the main factors for stopping treatment. More serious complications, such as cholelithiasis and pancreatitis, have also been reported, although less frequently. In addition, the psychological impact of rapid weight loss requires careful monitoring, as patients may experience mood swings and increased anxiety. The lack of data on the long-term use of these medications in Brazilian populations underscores the urgent need for future investigations. Thus, despite the significant benefits, the use of these drugs must be carried out under close monitoring, considering the individual characteristics and risks of each patient, in order to ensure the efficacy and safety of the treatment in the long term.

Published: October 2024

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the number of patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admissions due to severe complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Prolonged ICU stays, often associated with immobility, lead to muscle weakness, ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW), and reduced functional status, which impede recovery. Early mobilization in the ICU has been proposed as a beneficial intervention to mitigate these effects, but its impact on patients with post-COVID ARDS remains underexplored. Objective. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of early mobilization on functional recovery in ICU patients with post-COVID ARDS. Methods. A prospective, randomized controlled trial was conducted at Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, from August 2021 to August 2024. Two hundred patients with post-COVID ARDS were randomly assigned to either an early mobilization or standard care group. The early mobilization group received structured physical therapy interventions within 48 hours of ICU admission. Functional status was measured using the ICU Mobility Scale (IMS) and Functional Status Scale ICU (FSS ICU) at baseline, weekly, and discharge. Secondary outcomes included the duration of ICU stay, mechanical ventilation, and incidence of ICU-AW. Results. Patients in the early mobilization group demonstrated significantly higher functional recovery, with a mean IMS score of 7.8 ± 1.2 compared to 4.3 ± 1.5 in the standard care group (p < 0.001). The FSS ICU score was also significantly higher in the early mobilization group (90.6 ± 8.3) than in the standard care group (65.4 ± 10.7; p < 0.001). Additionally, early mobilization reduced the mean ICU stay (14.5 ± 3.2 vs. 19.8 ± 4.1 days, p < 0.001), shortened the duration of mechanical ventilation (10.1 ± 2.9 vs. 13.7 ± 3.6 days, p < 0.001), and decreased the incidence of ICU-AW (20% vs. 45%, p = 0.002). Conclusion. Early mobilization significantly improves functional recovery, reduces ICU stay and mechanical ventilation duration, and lowers ICU-AW risk in post-COVID ARDS patients. These findings highlight the importance of integrating early mobility into standard ICU care to enhance patient outcomes.

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of 12-week circuit body weight training on athletes’ physical fitness. This study used an experimental design with a control group. This experimental model consists of three stages. Firstly, pre-testing the dependent variable before implementing the treatment. Secondly, experimental participants are given experimental treatment, specifically the circuit body weight approach. Thirdly, provide a post-test to measure the dependent variable after treatment. The experimental sample included 25 athletes from various sports who were separated into two treatment groups. The circuit body weight group consisted of 13 samples, while the remaining 12 were trained using conventional direct teaching methods. The data analysis technique begins with calculating the data’s normality. The homogeneity test determines if two data sets contain homogeneous versions. Finally, the Mann-Whitney test compares two similar population means. Calculations using SPSS IBM 26 on data before treatment in the experimental class resulted in a valid sample size of 25 and a score of 48.40 ± 2,931. The experimental group had a valid sample size of 25, with a score of 49.57 ± 2,979. Pre-test data for the control class showed 25 valid samples with a score of 38.7 ± 6,607. Meanwhile, the control class post-test data obtained a valid sample size of 25 with a score 39.43 ± 6.796. The table shows a sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference in physical fitness scores between the experimental and control groups.

Sports culture among Malaysia Population still lacking and the percentage of inactive people still high and increase since year 2018. The aim of this study is to determine the level and influence of motivation towards physical activities based on gender and age groups. The researchers employed a survey design involving 7,015 respondents aged 13 years and above. Sampling selection across Malaysia was facilitated by Department of Statistic Malaysia based on block calculation and residence area from 13 states and 3 Federal Territories. The researcher employed the Multistage Cluster sampling random strategy by combining the cluster sampling procedure with stratified random sampling. A questionnaire designed by IYRES with high validity (r = 0.95) and reliability (r = .96) employed for data collection. A total of 190 trained enumerators collects the data manually. The findings of the analysis through an independent sample t-test showed that mean score for Males (M = 31.94, SD = 10.70) and for females (M = 29.84, SD = 10.82). p = .000, is significant. The results showed that there were significant differences in the mean of motivation towards physical activity participation between male and female respondents. Comparison by age group using One-way ANOVA showed that there were significant differences in the motivation of involvement in physical activity between the age groups, p = 0.000. Group pre-youth (M = 30.39, SD = 9.56), youth (M = 32.78, SD = 10.06), post youth (M = 30.72, SD = 11.06) and senior citizen 60 years and above (M = 26.76, SD = 10.72). This outcome proves that age does influence motivational factors in physical activity participation. The motivation level among youth is the highest and the elderly above 60 years old the lowest. Motivational factors are influenced by gender and age group in complex ways. Women tend to be more motivated by intrinsic factors such as job satisfaction, relationships, and personal growth, while men often lean towards extrinsic rewards. Younger individuals may be more driven by extrinsic rewards such as prizes, recognition, free gifts and performance achievements. Overall, psychological factors play a critical role in shaping individuals’ attitudes, beliefs, motivations, and behaviors regarding physical activity. By addressing psychological barriers and leveraging motivational strategies, interventions can effectively promote participation in exercise and support individuals in adopting healthier and more active lifestyles.

This study aims to explore and analyze the role of the school environment in the development of gross motor skills in primary school students. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with the school principal, teachers and staff, and questionnaires for students and parents. The results showed that a stimulating, supportive, and structured school environment has a significant impact on the development of students’ gross motor skills. The role of the school community is also very important in creating an environment that supports the development of gross motor skills. Collaboration between teachers, parents, and the students themselves also plays an important role in creating an environment that supports the development of gross motor skills. By implementing specialized physical activities designed with physiotherapists, teachers can help improve students’ motor development. Exercises focusing on balance and coordination, which are commonly used in physiotherapy, can be effectively integrated into the school curriculum.

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD), according to the American Academy of Orofacial Pain (AAOP), is a collection of painful and/or dysfunctional diseases affecting the masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joints (TMJs), and associated tissues. This can be treated effectively by the manual mobilization. Objective: To find out the effectiveness of mobilization on craniomandibular index in Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction among college students. Methods: It is a quasi-experimental pre and post type study performed among 40 college students, both boys and girls, with Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction, selected through convenient sampling of the age group 18–25 years, with a Craniomandibular index score of more than 0.50. The selected group is treated with a 4 week mobilization to see the effectiveness of the treatment. Outcome measure: Cranio Mandibular Index which encloses of the mandibular movement, range of motion, joint palpation ,muscle palpation, TMJ noise. Results: The results show that there was a significant improvement in the mean values of the craniomandibular index score after mobilization, with a mean difference of 0.32 ± 0.05. Conclusion: The study concluded that mobilization is an effective treatment approach for temporomandibular joint dysfunction among college students.

Objective. While smartphones provide convenience to individuals, they also cause many problems. One of these problems is smartphone addiction, known as nomophobia. The aim of our study is to investigate the impact of nomophobia on anxiety and quality of life among students in the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation..
Methods. The study included 211 students enrolled at Sakarya University of Applied Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Participants completed a data collection form to provide their demographic characteristics. They also completed the Turkish Nomophobia Scale to assess nomophobia levels, the Beck Anxiety Scale to evaluate anxiety levels, and the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale to measure their quality of life levels.
Results. In our study, the nomophobia scale score was found to be 77.28. The distribution of the nomophobia scale according to the cut-off points is 30% mild, 45% moderate, and 25% extreme. We identified a statistically significant relationship between nomophobia and anxiety (p < 0.05). Additionally, there was a statistically significant association between nomophobia and quality of life parameters, excluding vitality/energy, mental health, and social functioning (p < 0.05). However, no statistically significant relationship was found between anxiety and quality of life.
Conclusion. The anxiety levels of nomophobic individuals increase in parallel with their nomophobia, leading to a decrease in their quality of life. Necessary information should be provided and awareness should be raised in order to prevent nomophobia, which is especially common in the young population.

Background. Low back pain, often known as LBP, is a complicated ailment that has many associated risks, including those related to age, gender, lifestyle, social and psychological background, physical demands of work, social support, pain perception, and much more. Its frequency steadily rises with age and is typically nonspecific or mechanical in nature, with axially abnormal loading that might cause ache in the lower lumbar region. Strain-counter strain (SCS) or positional release technique (PRT) and muscle energy technique (MET) are identified as eligible management for LBP; however, in which way both techniques help to control LBP is to be evaluated.
Objectives. To discuss the potential role of MET and PRT in reducing LBP and to find the space between previous and current practice of MET and PRT in correcting the lordosis angle in the lumbar region and disability in LBP patients.
Methods. English-language articles were searched online, using the PEDro, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. Keywords were MET, PRT, LBP, and lumbar lordosis. The articles were published from 2001 to 2022, of which 100 were found to be relevant and 20 to meet the inclusion criteria. They included LBP-related articles with MET and PRT techniques of management, excluding those not related to lumbar lordosis or to those two techniques.
Conclusion. Based on the 20 articles reviewed, it was concluded that MET and PRT played a significant role in decreasing participants’ LBP pain, lordosis angle, and functional impairment.

Background: The geriatric Population faces common health challenges such as Frailty and neck Pain, which increases the risk for adverse ADL. It leads to a greater level of disability & Headache risk, lower physical functioning and reduced quality of life. A Biopsychosocial Approach centred on activities, emphasizing the enhancement of Biological factors, Psychological factors and Social functional performance to achieve the goals of the Biopsychosocial Approach. This involves intensifying exercise training by leveraging the environment, conducting thorough task analysis, providing feedback and consistently repeating training sessions. Objective: To determine the effects of the Biopsychosocial Approach on Subacute Neck Pain in the geriatric population, focusing on pain, neck-specific disability and work status. Methods: 64 samples were randomly allocated into two groups. The experimental group received the Biopsychosocial Approach, which integrated biological, psychological and social aspects activity-centred, emphasizing repeated training sessions over 8 weeks. The control group underwent Conservative Management 3 days/week for the same duration. Pre and post-test assessments were conducted using the PCS, NDI and AQoL-8D. Results: The significant improvements in the experimental group compared to the control group were demonstrated by the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann-Whitney Rank scores (p < 0.001). Specifically, participants in the experimental group experienced reduced neck pain, enhanced neck function, and improved quality outcomes. The results suggest that the Biopsychosocial Approach effectively addressed the multifaceted nature of pain. Conclusion: The study provides compelling evidence supporting Biopsychosocial in reducing neck pain and improving overall quality of life among geriatric populations.
