Application of Yoga in Adolescent/Teens to increase Resilience & Improve Emotional Well-Being with Emphasis on Yogic Principles - A Study
Authors: N Radhika , Rao R. Tulasi
Published: January 2024

Aim: Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood and this tender age between the ages of 12 - 19 years is usually riddled with uncertainties and difficulties as the children are faced with peer pressures, social media, career choices and parents' expectations. According to UNICEF and other research publications, ensuring emotional well-being and resilience in adolescents' formative years can foster a better transition from childhood to adulthood. This is the time when our youth is most prone to emotional imbalances. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) by 2020, 50% of the youth will be under-served. World bodies like the United Nations estimates that at-least 1 billion school going children have been affected globally by the closure of schools due to the Covid pandemic. The mental health and wellbeing of at least 332 million children are at risk, warns UNICEF. So there is an urgent need to take appropriate steps so that adolescents can attain normal, healthy growth and become productive and positive contributors to society. Yoga is proposed to offer methods for regulation and resilience through the integrated practices of yama and niyama (ethical intentional principals) asana ( physical exercise), pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation. This study aims to introduce and establish the seeds of Yoga in young minds, and how the practice of simple Yoga techniques can help manage stress, maintain emotional well-being and resilience.
Methodology: The approach incorporates methods on how to engage children and gradually introduce the Yogic practices and convince them to use Yoga to manage stress, emotional well-being and build resilience to maintain a healthy body and mind. The methodology inculcates our age-old wisdom from classical texts like Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Yoga Vasishta and Bhagavad Gita, and combined with contemporary techniques to suit the current generation of youngsters. Classical texts were thoroughly investigated for references to yogic principles apt for today's modern world and these are verified on a group of young children using Hypothesis testing and statistical analysis.
Conclusion: Youth is a valuable asset for any country. The consequences of not addressing the emotional well-being and mental health of adolescence extends into adulthood, thereby impairing both physical and mental health and limiting opportunities to lead fulfilling lives as adults. Scientific research studies all over the world have revealed that following yogic practices can play an important role to manage stress, emotional well-being and thereby improve resilience. The methodology used showed positive results with a group of 50+ children to introduce yoga and help maintain lower stress and emotional wellbeing, and boost immunity and build resilience. Highly resilient people are flexible, adapt to new circumstances quickly and thrive in constant change.

Study of Static Vs Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Stretching of Tight Hamstrings, and Its Effect on Lower Limb Flexibility and Speed of Sprinter - A Comparative Study
Authors: Venkateshwarlu Nallagatla , Staderini Enrico Maria , Balne Naveen Kumar
Published: January 2024

Background: Hamstring injuries are one of the most common injuries seen in sprinters, leading to reduction in flexibility and speed in sprinters. The study aimed at comparing the two most appropriate methods of hamstring stretching, i.e., static stretching (SS) and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching (PNFS), in sprinters for the management of tight hamstrings and measurement of their effectiveness on flexibility and speed.
Materials and Methods: After ethical clearance and informed consent, 80 male subjects who met inclusion criteria were recruited and randomised into the SS (n = 40) and PNFS (n = 40) groups. Baseline data on age, height, weight, BMI, hamstring flexibility (knee extension deficit (KED) on active knee extension test (AKET), and speed parameters (30-metre sprint test) documented at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 12-week study period.
Results and Conclusion: subjects showed variable results. Flexibility differences within groups pre- and post-intervention were statistically significant, but not between groups, indicating both methods are effective on flexibility. The differences in speed components of athletes were statistically significant within and between groups. The PNFS group has shown better improvements than the SS group on speed testing. This may be attributable to the neurological mechanism involved in the contract-relax method, where muscle is elongated and tone is stabilised during the contraction phase of PNF stretching.

Keywords: static stretching, PNF Stretching, knee extension deficit, active knee extension test, 30-meter sprint test, Pheezee, Range of motion tool, Hamstrings flexibility, Hamstrings tightness.
Functional Outcome and Range of Motion Between Internal Plate Fixation Versus Kirschner Wire for Management of Distal Radius Fracture: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Kristian Adiet Wahyu , Asmara Anak Agung Gde Yuda
Published: January 2024

Introduction: A significant percentage of fractures treated in clinical practice are distal radius fractures, which are among the most common orthopaedics injuries. Distal radius fractures are common and can affect wrist function and general quality of life, thus they need to be addressed carefully. This research aims to assess the evidence supporting VLP and K-wire fixation procedures in the treatment of distal radius fractures.
Methods: According to PRISMA guideline statement, the research was conducted. A systematic search was conducted in past 10 years. This research will include English-language, randomized, controlled studies that compare VLP with K-wire fixation for the management of distal radius fracture and have full-text. Data collection included functional outcome measures, specifically the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), wrist Range of Motion, and clinical complication, which have been recommended as the best available patient-reported outcome measurement instruments for distal radius fractures.
Result: The plate group had a higher DASH score with a difference of 1.46 but this result was not statistically significant (95% CI=3.09-(-0.16), p=0.08). Based on grip strength, it was found that the grip strength was greater in the wire group although there was no statistically significant difference (2.28; 95%CI=-0.13-4.70, p=0.06). There were fewer complications when using the plate with an Odd Ratio of 0.31 (95% CI=0.22-0.43, p<0.00001).
Discussion: Plate fixation is still valuable because of its stability, brief period of immobility, and rapid return to an active life. The usage of locking plate fixations in the treatment of distal radius fractures has increased recently. Anatomical repair of the articular surface and fragment alignment promotes functional rehabilitation and delays the onset of osteoarthritis. K-wires are commonly used because they are easy to implant, don't injure tissue much, have an atraumatic insertion, and result in less stiffness and edema. Two other advantages are reduced risk of infection and enhanced fracture healing. Their disadvantages include wire migration, peripheral neurovascular injury, and less firm fixation. There was no difference between the two groups DASH scores or grip strengths according to the forest plot results. After a year, the study of wrist range of motion revealed no appreciable variations in flexion, extension, or pronation. It was discovered that treating distal radius fractures with plates had fewer difficulties than treating them with wires, based on the patient's issues.

In recent times, researchers have increasingly focused on exploring alternative sources of anti-inflammatory agents, particularly of plant origin. Ocimum sanctum (tulsi) has been a longstanding source of medicinal agents, with its leaves, bark, stems, and flower spikes harboring phytoconstituents responsible for anti-inflammatory activity. Phytochemical screening of the plant's stems has identified the presence of saponins, alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, phenols, tannins, and glycosides. Ocimum sanctum, also known as tulsi or holy basil, belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is renowned for its medicinal uses. The study aimed to analyze the phytochemical components of tulsi stems. Using the soxhlet apparatus, dried tulsi stem powder was separately subjected to aqueous, methanol, and ethanol extraction, resulting in yields of 6.0% w/w, 8.0% w/w, and 9.0% w/w, respectively. The analysis revealed the presence of secondary metabolites such as carbohydrates, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, terpenoids, fatty acids, and phenols in the tulsi stem extract. These phytochemicals are known for their various therapeutic properties, including antiseptic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-stress, immune-modulatory, hypoglycemic, hypotensive, and antioxidant effects. Utilizing tulsi as a herbal medicine is deemed more beneficial than chemically synthesized alternatives. India's rich medicinal plant heritage has long been integrated into traditional medicine systems, with tulsi holding a significant place for treating various ailments. Tulsi, or Ocimum sanctum Linn., has been utilized in Ayurveda for millennia, known for its diverse healing properties.

Effect of Processing Parameters on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Friction Stir Welded 6061 Aluminium Alloy Joints
Authors: Kulbir Singh Sandhu
Published: January 2024

In this research, friction stir welding was successfully conducted on 6 mm thick Al6061 plates, employing rotation speeds of 1200, 1400, and 1600 rpm, along with a constant traverse speed of 66 mm/min. Microstructural analyses of welded joints were performed using optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Notably, joints fabricated at a welding speed of 1600 rpm exhibited superior tensile properties. A discernible transformation occurred in the microstructure, wherein coarse grains within the parent material underwent a morphological change, transitioning into fine equiaxed recrystallized grains specifically within the nugget zone. Hardness assessments revealed that the hardness values of the nugget zones in all welded joints surpassed those of the parent material, with the lowest recorded hardness values observed in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). This observed microstructural refinement and hardness variation signify the successful alteration of material properties, particularly within the nugget zone, as a consequence of the FSW process.

The Behaviour of Building Frames on Raft Foundation using Dynamic Analysis
Authors: B R Shilpa, Dr G Narayana, Dr B K Narendra
Published: January 2024

When designing building frames for seismic reasons, the effect of soil flexibility is typically disregarded, and the design is executed using the outcomes of dynamic analysis with a fixed base condition. Because the overall lateral stiffness of the structure decreases as a result of soil flexibility, the lateral natural period lengthens. The building frames situated on the Raft foundation may experience a significant change in seismic response due to this extension of the lateral natural period (T). Therefore, it is imperative to consider the soil's flexibility, also known as soil structure interaction, when doing analysis on the foundation's supporting layer.

This paper examines how asymmetric building frames with raft footings behave dynamically when subjected to seismic forces that involve soil-structure interaction. The analysis is performed with SAP 2000*V21 FEM software. The structure is idealized as a three-dimensional space frame, with slabs modeled as a thin shell with four noded plate elements and six degrees of freedom at each node, and beams and columns modeled as two noded line elements. The soil is represented as equivalent springs with one (Winkler) and six (Modified Winkler) degrees of freedom; the stiffness of these springs varies depending on the type of soil and is determined by its dynamic shear modulus and poissons ratio. The Modified Winkler and Winkler raft foundations are modeled as thin shells with four noded plate elements, each with six degrees of freedom, and are criticized so that the element aspect ratios are equal to one.

 

To assess the impact of soil structure interaction on building frames, the response is compared for a range of building frames with and without consideration of soil flexibility in terms of fundamental Natural Period, Seismic Base Shear, and Max. Lateral Displacement. The parametric study for Zone V takes into account the influence of various parameters, including the number of bays, stories, span lengths, and soil types (i.e., soft, medium, and stiff).

 

It is discovered that the fundamental lateral natural period and seismic base shear of the system are significantly altered by the influence of soil flexibility on building frames. As soil stiffness decreases, the lateral natural period and seismic base shear increase as a result of soil flexibility. Additionally, it has been noted that as the number of bays increases, so do the building's base shear and lateral period. As the number of bays and stories increases, so does the maximum lateral displacement.
General Probabilistic Theories: An Introduction
Authors: Plávala Martin
Published: January 2024

We introduce the framework of general probabilistic theories (GPTs for short). GPTs are a class of operational theories that generalize both finite-dimensional classical and quantum theory, but they also include other, more exotic theories, such as the boxworld theory containing Popescu–Rohrlich boxes. We provide in-depth explanations of the basic concepts and elements of the framework of GPTs, and we also prove several well-known results. The review is self-contained and it is meant to provide the reader with consistent introduction to GPTs. Our tools mainly include convex geometry, but we also introduce diagrammatic notation and we often express equations via diagrams.

Analysis Of The Influence Of Student Perceptions On The Use Of Bri Mobile (Brimo) In Registering Tuition Fees
Authors: Nango Agolmen Monique Aurelia
Published: January 2024

This research aims to determine the influence of perceptions or views regarding usefulness, ease of use, security, and risk on the decision to use BRI Mobile (BRImo). This type of research is explanatory research which explains the causal relationship between variables through hypothesis testing. This research used a population of 107 and a sample of 85 respondents determined based on the Slovin formula. This population is University of Timor (UNIMOR) students who use BRI Mobile to pay tuition fees. Primary data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 85 FEB Unimor students using BRImo. The analysis technique used is hypothesis testing using the T-test and F-test and multiple linear regression. Data analysis was assisted using IBM SPSS statistics for Windows version 29 and Microsoft Office Excel 2007. From the results of testing the four hypotheses, it can be concluded that the variables of perceived usefulness and ease of use do not influence the decision to use BRImo, while perceptions of security and risk influence the decision to use BRImo. This means that interest in using BRI Mobile is still not commonly used by UNIMOR students due to a lack of knowledge about the benefits and ease of using BRImo and the increasing number of trust issues regarding misuse of online payment applications.
